like i said earlier, GORGEOUS animal. even people outside the hobby wouldn't deny that specimen is beautiful, but i haven't seen a single banana combo that i would honestly say looks BETTER than the single gene banana. while i do think some of the combos are cool, the only reason i would like a banana combo more than the single gene is more from an "inside the hobby" viewpoint with respect to its breeding potential. if you asked someone that had no inside knowledge of snake breeding, animal's worth, or the value of a "power house" animal from a breeding standpoint, i honestly believe if you set a single gene banana down next to most of the combos that have been produced, the outsider would be indifferent.Originally Posted by Jonas@Balls2TheWall
i'm not saying that for every single one of the banana combos, and i'm not trying to bash the banana in any way, just giving my thoughts on the project. i believe the banana pied will most likely be jaw-dropping. the only thing is, with this weird sex skewing the bananas' offspring are known to have, it's not going to be as easy to get both a male and female banana het pied.
everyone knows the champagne is almost a dead end to most combos, but i still own one and think they are beautiful in their own right. i think the banana is a beautiful animal too, but i paid 1/6th the price of bananas right now for my champ, and don't plan on considering a banana/coral glow until they're much cheaper. they just don't seem like they'd be that much fun to "play around" with in my breeding plans. it has nothing to do with their price. i think the GHI blends PHENOMENALLY with a lot of morphs and would jump on that project in a heartbeat if i had upwards of 10 grand laying around somewhere.
