Anyone have pics of adult bananas?

[artgecko]

hello all,

I was originally turned off of bananas when I heard about the spotting, but have come around on that issue. After seeing one adult banana in a video on youtube, I'm thinking that I might actually be interested in the morph.

My question for you guys, is do you have any pictures of adults that you can share? I've seen scores of baby pics, but just can't tell how much patterning is visible on the adults. I've heard that their colors fade, leaving mostly yellow, but the one adult I saw (in that video) still had visible, but faded, pattern. I'd like to know if that was an exceptional specimen, or if this is common with bananas in general.

My thoughts are turned to possibly combing banana with hypo and seeing if that takes care of the spotting issue, but again, if they don't retain much / any patterning as adults, I'm thinking that they would keep even less with hypo involved.

Thanks for your time and help!

i don't have a single gene Banana or Coral Glow but i have 3 Banana combo's, all 1-2years old and 800-1000grams. i don't have pix of them on me but i can try to get pix if you're interested. they are:
1. Banana Mojo - almost no freckling (as w/ other Banana BEL combo), nice light yellows on muted lavender
2. Banana Cinny - high freckling, orange pattern turned peachy
3. Banana Champ combo - a little freckling, colors remain mostly same - light yellows and lavender

anyway i don't think Hypo/Ghost would eliminate the freckles; it would just turn them a bluish-grey. BEL-genes or Albino would.

Keep in mind, the ones with freckling you'll pretty much always see the pattern for the simple fact that the speckles only appear in the darker part of the pattern. There are some combos out there that supposedly don't get freckles. With those I'd be worried about them looking like just a solid yellow snake as adults but I have not seen adults with no speckling so I'm not sure, they are beautiful as babies though.

All I can think of when I see this thread is how someone outside of the snake world would interpert this

i bet those non-snake peeps would think that adult banana's came dressed in pajamas like this:

I personally really like the freckling. Do babies who show less freckling develop more freckles as they mature OR are the freckles they are born with the only ones they will ever have? Most babies I've seen in person don't have too many freckles, so I'm wondering if more will come out after future sheds, as they grow.

They are generally born with no freckles at all and they appear with each shed. These arent great pictures but you can see how pre first shed these guys had zero spots and gradually got more.
