Banana Clown

Anyone else see it on KS yesterday for $35k? Can't find it today and a thread about it on their forum is gone as well.

OMG! $35k? thats cheap, i heard 1 was advertised at $150k last year?

$150k sounds about right. I remember he was advertising just the plain banana ball for $100k when I first saw it, $75k at Tinley, and he had dropped it down to $50k by the end of the year.

anyone have pictures? I love clown combos

will slough!
he has them and they are hot!
it was 35k

here is a link with pictures

Why is this morph so expensive? I don't know much about it, is it a single morph? mix of recessives?

Very few of them. Maybe 10?

i think banana is co-dominant, clown is recessive. price on bananas should come down in the near future.

I can't wait, the original banana is still my favorite. The combos take away from the superbness. IMHO.
Soooo gorgeous.

Bananas are a dominant trait if I am not mistaken.

The bananas I had seen listed last year at 50k, and then a few months later, back up to 100k. I guess he couldn't decide what he wanted to sell them for...

i could imagine him maybe selling an '08 female banana for $35k, but a banana clown i would still say would be around $100k. if its true though and hes selling banana clowns at $35k, im gonna email him my order lol

Take this as a grain of salt, but I've heard Bananas are co-dom and there is a super.

a super bannana? if so, I dictate it get's name bonanza ball. that's right. bonanza ball. get it through your head.

That sounds awesome, I agree 100%.

Bonanza, I like it. Does anyone know if this is or is not the same morph nerd is working with? I they were refferring to it as coral glow. Id have guess theres a whole lot more than ten of them either way. If there mixed with other morphs, and recessives at that I bet there are quite a few tucked away.

i saw the one on ks, it was much better looking than those on that site, i agree with the bonanza idea, lol

Last I knew there hadn't been a super produced. If there has, I must have missed it, but it seems to me that something like that would be all over. The banana, coral glow, and white smoke are all believed to be the same morph.

LOL, 10 Bananas??? yea right...

another thing is is that it is a female, I'm sure the prince could be twice that if it was a male, because he would be a powerhouse breeder!

I totally agree. It's an incredibly cool snake, but you've got a good three years before you can breed, and *hopefully* get one clutch.

yeh would be heartbreaking to get a "dudd" breeder banana that slugged out every year =[

having the holy grail of ball pythons sitting in your rack at breeding size and not being able to do anything with her! :|

I like it, but probably it will be given the "creative" name of super banana ball

how many people spend large sums of money for these morphs? I guess what i'm asking is...Is it hard to sell these balls for 35k? Not many people have that kind of money lying around...i think. lol

They're investments. If you bought a male banana you'd make the money back in a breeding season or two. And then some! But, no. Not everyone has the money just lying around.

I see...Ya gotta have money to make money :/

Yeah I know that the coral glow is the same thing, Kevin showed me one of them that he's working with last time I went up there. They are a beautiful beautiful snake, maybe some day prices will be down to where I might actually be able to get one :D. Who knows with it being a co-dom do you think that eventually supply will be enough to where it could be widely available? And if it does wow, think about the crazy combo morphs that would then be running around everywhere...... Lol sorry just thinking out loud I guess.

How many do you see circling around?

They're priced that high for a reason, not many exist.

I could ask Will how many have been produced next time I see him. When/If I see him.

ok if theres only 10 I will take 2 a breeding pair. Then I would own 20% of the market for them MUahahahahaha. lol. Nice looking snake. :gj:
