This snake loves you 🥰 he’s like let them see me forget the bananas right now 😂
banana ball pythons are the cutest ones out there
I got my first reptile, a male Banana Enchi at my local expo in April 2021. I love him so much, he’s so sweet and chill. And eats sooo well 🧡💛 I’m planning on finding him a female at the next expo next month.
Bobby is my freaking FAVORITE. 😂❤️❤️
Love these highlights on the genes.... I am looking to get my first ball python and I am loving the Bananas/Coral glows. :) thanks for the info!
Another great one. Thanks for sharing.
Bananas are lovely in most cases, thanks for the review and combinations!
Thanks! Great info Chris
One of my favorite morphs besides clowns and bamboo. Great video!
The orange dream banana combo is absolutely beautiful 💛

Id like to see a banana monsoon
I’ve noticed that the Calico leaves very little pattern on the tails of snakes when mixed with another morph, which is unique.
These morph videos are getting better and better day by day Chris. Im really enjoying them. But this one was perfect. I have a Male maker banana that I've been thinking of breeding. This video was a great tool for me. Problem is, now I think I want every single morph you talked about in this video to breed my banana 😂 Great video
First snake I purchased was an African Egg eater a few months back . Now we have a beautiful banana spider ball python. It’s a awesome pet . Really enjoying your videos , they are informative . Keep up the great work .

Nice!
Just bought a Banana Cinnamon! The orange is SO vibrant, and the cinnamon helps tone down some of the yellows. Really gorgeous little boy.
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.
I’m addicted to your channel new sub
Interesting
Awesome vid just yesterday I commented asking about coral glow and combos thanks lol I luckily got a good deal 175 for my coral glow het pied
i just got my banana ball on sunday! absolutely in love w him
neat you featured or showed my banana x mojave in this video
Hey Chris love the videos. I remember on time you mentioned that enchi takes the spots away. Is this still true or have u found out others? Thx Rob

Love my banana lesser! No spots!
Hi chris just a quick question im still new here if the mom is normal and the dad is banana what would you get in the batch...thanks for your videos im learning alot from you hey...
As far as single gene morphs the most contrast from wild type is coralglow/banana no question maybe 2and is bamboo (bobby) imo
Thank you for the great videos Chris, I have been well educated / confused by these lol. If you were just looking for a pet but wanted something cool / pretty which would you say age the best please? Thanks x

@@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.

Bamboo, Orange Dream, and Desert Ghost all seem to age extremely well. Of course, the latter two tend to be paired with a lot of other genes, but just serve to enhance them!
I have a baby Pastel Pinstripe Banana. Super Yellow with a pink head and neck.
On Thursday I got a banana, clown, poss Yellowbelly!! I love him very much. My ideal snake!! Hope to breed him with my female pied and cross the hets when their older 😀😀😀
I'll be picking up my boy this week. Dad is a Banana OD Pastel Yelly belly. Mom is a Highway. And he's lovely. Idk if I'll breed but I've always wanted a banana and I'm pleased to have him. He's our second BP... They do appear to be like chips.😂 (Our first was a reduced pattern normal, she's a sweetheart.)
I have a Banana Champagne, atleast thats what i was told. Its a light Banana color with a stripe down its back that is the purple color associated with the Banana gene i will be breeding him to prove the genes out whenever he is old enough.
Someone right now on craigslist in the austin texas area is rehoming het bananas starting at $350. 😞

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.

Hey Chris, I have a question: What is a good weight to keep your adult male breeders at?
@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures

I would think 1,000 to 1,500 grams would be ideal, although I don't limit feed my males. But I do tend to feed them smaller rodents than my females.
Ok now we're talking lolol
Got a question do you only sell at shows .... I'm just getting into breeding and want to just start with 1 breeding pair .....and do it right.😁but try and keep it cheap but not cheap you know..I know I'm going to go with banana.but banana (male) het idk something different..... and pair it with the right type of female... so I was thinking banana het clown x firefly het clown.and take those babies keep 1 and buy a orange dream and breed it. So a orange dream het clown to one of the babies from the first idea and pair those.

Actually she has! It's a girl, I named her 'Lucky', because she is lucky to be alive. She didn't nurse the first 12 hours, was born really small and skinny. She is still really skinny and I've been trying to feed her grain. I think she is past the worst of it though, she should make it no problem, just need to get more grain into her before winter.
I'm getting a Male next month then end of the year or next year getting a Banana Pied female
Liked Banana from the beginning. But I don't like how a lot of versions get those black-pepper specks as they grow up. Some think it adds character - but for me it detracts/distracts from the color you buy when getting an infant. Folks should work to breed that out. Also those with females should produce more - I know it's a sex-link. BOBBY! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Banana Enchi's don't get too many. Or Super banana's don't get any at all. But, I agree with you about the black spots. I've seen a couple that actually had so many spots that they looked quite unique.
