![]() ![]() The dominant gene donor is the spider ball python, hence the close resemblance. They are mean-looking, but they are very friendly. The first impression you would get by looking at it is that of a dangerous snake. What do they look like?īumblebee ball pythons have skin with yellow and black pigmentation. That is why they are mostly found in zoos and homes of snake pet keepers. These morphs are a special breed that is deliberately made by man and can barely survive in the wild. Their looks could be deceiving as they appear fierce, but in reality, they are as docile as any other ball python. They are among the most popular types and morphs of ball pythons. These constrictors are morphs that are as a result of crossbreeding between pastel and spider ball pythons. For keepers who prefer breeds with a high contrast of albinism, breeding is selectively restricted to both partners of high contrast. ![]() Provided they are handled with care, albino ball pythons can have a long lifespan.īecause they are one of the most sought after morphs by pet keepers, the breeding of these albino ball pythons is done more carefully to produce the desired morphs. Further, it is generally considered that they are not very difficult to bring up as they mostly feed only once or twice in a fortnight. They are among the most valued constrictors and this makes them quite expensive in comparison to other ball pythons. These are considered to be the ones with a lesser concentration of albinism. However, some of them may lose the white markings with time and transform to fully yellow. The skin color is generally, a combination of white and yellow. Their eyes are red or pink in some instances. They are called “albino” due to the lack of melanin pigment in their skin. These constrictors are also found in West Africa like most other ball pythons. However, banana genes are the most dominant. All these take both the banana genes and those of their other parent, thereby coming out as unique and interesting morphs. Others include the banana lemon ball, banana jigsaw, banana inferno ball, banana ivory ball, banana enchi ball, and banana coral glow ball. Banana Cinnamon Ball python, which is a crossbreed of a banana and a cinnamon.Banana Pied Ball python, which is a crossbreed of the banana and the piebald.Banana Albino ball python which is a crossbreed between a Banana Ball python and an Albino.Other banana ball pythons include the following: This explains the reasons for the name “super banana”. The yellow or orange skin color is brighter than the parent’s. They are even more yellow than their parents due to the strong genetic combination from two banana ball pythons. The Super Banana, for instance, comes from breeding two banana morphs- a male and a female. When the banana constrictor breeds with another of its species, it begets offspring that have unique traits compared to those that come from interbreeding that involves banana and other morphs. (This is an interesting area of scientific research). However, some cannot receive its traits even if crossbreeding is done. Other morphs can be acquired from crossbreeding that involve the banana morph. This subspecies is considered a morph since standard pythons (which are not scientifically considered to have mutated) have a predominant brown color. They are yellow or orange, a trait that makes them morphs. Banana Ball Pythonīanana ball pythons are original species which are found in their natural habitat. These are the original morphs from which hundreds of other morphs have been acquired through selective breeding. We have featured some of the most popular ones which include: The Banana ball python, the Mojave, Blue-Eyed Leucistic, Butter, Lesser, Pastel, Spider, Piebald and Vanilla ball python among many others. They can live for up to three decades when kept in good conditions as pets.Īs mentioned above, there are very many morphs of the ball pythons that are going to be discussed below.Selective breeding easily brings so many varieties of great looking morphs.They produce beautiful morphs through selective breeding.Though big, their size is relatively smaller compared to other pythons.They are not violent, yet they are big. ![]()
