Thanks for the input! I have actually decided against banana. As much as I like the combos it could make, I agree females can be spendy. Plus I have a female het pied that I'd like to pair with banana pied down the road! I think I've settled on super pastel for this guy, all of the possible outcomes from that are right up my alley. I can probably get a nice female or two for pretty cheap at a show later this month as well!
I also agree with what you are both saying about spiders. I'm glad this forum is more open minded about it. It's actually why I came here, I figured people would be more open. Mention that you even own a spider other places and people will tear you apart! I don't think a wobble or corkscrew means lower quality of life, especially if you are capable of handling the more severe cases. Some people's arguments can get pretty nonsensical. I think a lot of people who are very "opinionated" on spiders just heard their favorite YouTuber disapprove of them and just follow along.
I'm glad I can come here and have a reasonable discussion about it without being called immoral. People who say those kind of things really need to take a look at the ball python market and even the reptile trade as a whole and reevaluate what it is they are actually trying to argue.
