i think the prices are more than fair. I will be getting into the banna game this year. I would love a male but thats out of my price range right now. Ive seen females go for as low as 10k but most are between 15-20.

Kevin McCurley talked about it:

(It says Coral Glow but Bananas and Coral Glows are basically the exact same morph and might be)
I had no idea this Morph was possibly sex linked until this thread. Found this article too: http://www.russreptiles.com/resourcegenetics5.htm. no idea how accurate it is as I don't breed the Morph, but it seems to make sense and is described very clearly

it is sexed linked sorta... and with a twist. Female bananas produce as expected from any normal gene 25% male banana 25% female banana 25% male non-banana 25% female non-banana
99% of the time males from them will produce 50% female bananas/50% male non-banana. they call these F1 males.
the 1% time the F1 makes a male banana, these are called F2 males
99% of the time F2's will produce 50% male banana/50% female non-banana.
the males produced from them are called F3 and this breeding season should shed some light on what they do.

This is almost correct, except that the term is Gen 1 and Gen 2. Not F1 and F2.
Selective Buying + Selective Breeding = Select Results!

I am pretty sure have seen the F designator used more than Gen with referring to the Bananas.

That doesn't make it correct They are not F2 so why call them that?

The prices are currently ridiculous and will stay ridiculous for a while yet. Then the price will drop like a ton of bricks very quickly and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Soon after that we'll all be able to afford them.

I did not say it was correct, I just said that seems to be the term used.
