    Banana ball!?
    I'm new to this, so this may be a ridiculous question... Has anyone ever heard of a banana morph? I found pictures on the internet of what some guy calls a "Banana Ball Python." It almost looks to yellow to be true. I'm just curious. I don't want to steal his pictures, but if any of you insist on seeing it, I'll post it.

    There really is a morph called the banana ball. Feel free to post a link to the picture you're looking at. :D

    It reminds me a caramel albino.. but super intense. That's pretty darned spiffy.

    I believe the Banana was first produced/introduced by Will Slough in 2003.

    When the first banana ball was originally being shopped to breeders in america, many of them passed on it because the pictures made it look like just another caramel loaded with ticks and a huge price tag.

    The Banana Clown is hot! ;)

    Adam, what is your take on the Banana? do you think its the same thing as NERD's Whitesmoke/Coral's, like some others? and since we're on the subject...Im assuming you've seen Pete/Neil/Gino's (or whoever actually owns it now) "Candyball", do you think that is the same thing also? Maybe what we have here is something similar to the "Platinum Complex"? who knows.....certainly not me LOL

    The banana and candy don't look alike imo the candy looks like new strain of Albino with those deep ruby eyes. I'm going out on a limb here but this may be why we haven't heard anything lately about the candy because they are still growing up hets. If this is right I don't think we'll hear anything next year either. Just a guess..Both are unreal

    Last thing I heard was that it was purchased by Brian Kollwitz of Indiana for quite a sum, I asked Brian about it at an show he was at last year.
    Now, according to different sources he's produced only female offspring so far.
