New addition!

Beautiful boy! I'm loving the bananas.

Oh yeah, if anyone has any idea what may have caused that pattern please feel free to point it out xD

Well my first thought was Leopard, but I don't know enough about them to be certain.

Could the leopard have shown up randomly? Like I said his parents were a super fire and a banana. Is it even possible for a mutation to just show up randomly?

Very nice baby congrats

ALL mutations show up randomly but it's very unlikely that a known mutation would just pop up like that out of the blue. If it IS a leopard (and that's a big if, you'll want to get an opinion from someone who knows more about them) I'd say that it's more likely that the super fire parent could also be a leopard. It wouldn't show up due to the lack of pattern on super fires so you probably wouldn't see it. Maybe ask the breeder you got it from if it's possible they might have the leopard gene in their collection.

Yeah, super fires are BELs, all white snakes (sometimes with orange splotches, but no pattern to speak of). If there's leopard in the pairing, it could have been hiding in the white snake. Only way to know is to ask the breeder that produced it!

I spoke to the breeder and he's sure it was just a plain old super fire

[Galaxygirl]

I also thought Leopard right away. It could be hiding in the Super Fire parent since it wouldn't be evident, but if the breeder says only Fire Banana, stick with that until proven otherwise!

[bait4snake]

It would be nice to know what it's super fire parent might have had hiding in its genes. Definitely breed that to a normal and see if the pattern is genetic.

That is one really beautiful BP, If i had seen one like that, my husband would have had to drag me away to keep me from buying it. Good luck.
