    I hatched out a bunch on em this year. I paired a really nice banana enchi male to three different females. Two of which are from OSR and are poss het clowns. All the bananas are male but even just the single gene banana's are amazing. The pastel banana enchi's really blew me away. I'd never actually seen one in person so I was quite surprised. Also got a bunch of really nice female enchi's, so i'm def. holding back a handful of them. Thanks for all the awesome vid's, and valuable info.

    @@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Thank you for this, I think they are beautiful but I think after a full days research, for my tastes the Desert Ghost or is it Ghost Desert (black and yellow) look really cool as adults, and also appear to be fairly attainable price wise. If you ever need a video idea (if you haven't already made this) I would really appreciate one about what to expect and do's and don'ts of a reptile show. Im attending my first one in the Uk and have no idea how to go about getting my first snake. Obviously you pick a snake and pay for it. But I imagine its really overwhelming and confusing, so how to pick the right animal, things to check, buyers to avoid etc. Thanks so much, your snakes are beautiful, I nearly bought a dwarf retic until I saw your giant one and thought it might not be an ideal purchase for a 4 year old lol. I asked about its diet and it was being fed a mouse every six weeks so thought it was a bit fishy. haha.

    Okay. I dont mean to pry on this question but I need a definite answer for this please, Chris. Ive seen your videos about Banana vs Coral Glow are they the same. Ive seen all vids about Corals and Bananas. I still am...exponentially perplexed.. are the Banana and the Coral Glow the same or just similar? I need a for sure answer please. I hear so many times that theyre '' essentially'' or '' basically'' the same. However, I still dont know the fact of it. I appreciate your time. Are the Banana and CG exactly the same but with different names, or are they just very similar but different morphs? My Banana is becoming so exquisite and starting to look like a CG a bit. Its why the answer for this topic is so difficult for me to ascertain.

Also those with females should produce more - I know it's a sex-link. BOBBY! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
