    Banana savannah

    So I bought this little guy at my local shop and they say he is a banana cinnamon mojave. I'm able to identify the mojave, but nothing else with certainty. Any ideas?

    How much does he weigh? Bananas and their combos tend to change color and contrast a lot as they age. I would be inclined to believe he is what he was sold as, though his color in that first photo (him in the cup) looks very off for a banana savanah-- could just be the lighting though. He definitely has the banana coloring and he has cinnamon pattern with the chaining/bleeding together of the alien heads, but I would expect a banana savanah to be darker, knowing how both genes affect banana. But I've also never seen a banana savanah in person before. Either way, they're a beautiful snake and I'm surprised you found such a high end animal in a pet shop.

    I'd be inclined to believe them. The colour does look a little odd but imo the pattern is right. It almost looks pastel although the lighting could be the reason (or he could be shedding). Maybe ask them about the pairing to see if it could be a Mojave pewter banana.

    This is the Banana Savannah I produced a few seasons ago and he can be seen in a couple pics on WOBP. As stated by the others that commented, they can and do often vary in color greatly. A lot of factors could be going on. Lighting, perhaps an additional gene, etc.

    Re: Banana savannah

    This is my female banana black pastel Lesser, so basically the same thing only slightly less blushing with the difference between cinnamon and black pastel.
    So yes, I'd say you got what it was advertised as.
