Was labeled Banana, but...your thoughts?

[SnapesMa]

I have no idea what morphs your snake is other than gorgeous. I just wanted to respond to this part. Not all spiders will show a wobble. I have a spider who has no noticeable wobble, she has no issues righting herself and rarely misses a strike at her F/T rats. It seems that people over exaggerate the wobble that spiders can show.

Thanks! That’s interesting. I’ve heard/seen that some will have little to no signs, but from what I understand that’s not the norm. My apologies if this is not accurate information now. I think they’re a gorgeous morph but have been, for lack of a better phrase, ‘scared off’ by the gene’s associated neurological issues. Is this something that has perhaps improved over time by breeding spiders that don’t present those issues?

I’d love to see a photo if you have one!

wow this is a tough one. i'm assuming he was priced much more than the reg Banana? anyways i would guess that's at least a 3 gene BP, maybe more. i think it's at least a Banana Lesser and either Spider or Spotnose. it probably also has Pastel.

No, he was labeled Banana, enclosed with a banana and priced as one. I actually got a pretty good deal when I got him though. He was originally priced at $350, but I got him for $175.

I’m not sure about the Spider. He has no wobble and has no problem keeping/getting himself upright. From what I understand, that morph presents neurological issues that I haven’t observed in mine.

A local herp mentioned pinstripe, but all the banana pins I’ve found look much different. I’ve researched morphs daily for over a month since I got him, looked at countless photos of various crosses (even using UK terms - royal, coral glow, etc.) and haven’t come across another like mine. I was hoping my lack of results was just inexperience in not knowing what to look for, but it seems he really is just a special boy

I looked up Spotnose and came across a YouTube video that has a banana that looks probably the most similar to mine that I’ve seen so far. Pattern is a bit different/busier, but the colors are very close and it has the lighter dorsal stripe. I’m sure it’s not the exact same mix as below, but I think you may be on to something with this one

Thanks a bunch for your insight and help!

ok so i think everyone agrees that it's at least a Banana Lesser. there's another gene in there that creates the phat, almost full length dorsal stripe. i don't think it's Pin as it would reduce the side pattern like in April's BP. so it makes me think Spidey or Spotty. your BP also has blushing throughout and a faint cloverleaf headstamp. i would guess it has Enchi and Pastel also but i don't see Enchi it in the pattern.

anyways u lucked into a beautiful mystery boy. congrats!
