Banana/Coral Glow

[Pythonfriend]

Banana GHI just looks ridiculous (as does coral glow GHI). These colors are not what you can normally get in ball pythons.

About the speckling, the tiny black dots: I love them. And i would say, if you dont like them, maybe its not the right gene for you. We have albino, and the candy and toffee which are compatible with albino to make candino and toffino, and we have caramel, and lavender albino. Not to forget ultramel. None have the tiny black dots.

Generally, very few light-colored snakes can have these black dots. Maybe you can get them sometimes by using genes that really obliterate the pattern, like atomic or champagne. But an undisturbed pattern in the background with these tiny dots on top.... I think its rare. Like it or not, it sets Banana/CG apart from all the other stuff i mentioned above.

That being said, one question:

If more and more people hit their supers, will the whole "male maker/ female maker"- thing still matter? As i understand it (and i am not sure), the best way to make a super is to breed a male banana that is a male maker to a female banana, this will give you good chances for a male super banana. Or you breed a male banana that is a FEMALE maker to a female banana, this will give you got chances for a female super banana.

But when considering a male or female super banana, will it still matter if it has male makers or female makers in its ancestry? I dont know, so im asking, but i think it wouldnt matter anymore. All offspring of the super banana, male or female, will have one copy of the gene, regardless of gender. Thats just what supers do. Also, lets say you have a male super banana and breed it to some females and get banana hatchlings, can you still label them "male-maker" or "female-maker", does it still make sense?

If you breed a male-maker banana to a female and hit a male super, and then breed the super to different females, wouldnt the offspring of that second generation be something like "100% het male maker" at best? How does it translate into offspring when the super got one copy each from each parents, and passes off one of these at random to its offspring?
