    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

male banana bred to a female pied , 5 healthy babies , three are really nice looking banana ball, two are normal looking , so are the banana babies 50-50 het for pied and banana, and normals 100%het for banana , i looked online untill i got a headache, any help thanks
 
So I don't keep ball pythons, but it looks like pied is recessive, and banana is incomplete dominant (what many people inaccurately call 'co-dominant').

Every offspring from a visual (homozygous) pied will be 100% het for pied; each of your offspring got one pied gene from the female parent.

Every offspring from a banana will be either banana (carrying the banana gene) or normal (not carrying the banana gene).

There is no 'het for banana', as banana is not a recessive trait.

Ball python people check my math please, though I think this is pretty straightforward. :)
 
You are right. This clutch has three banana 100% het pied and two normal 100% het pied.
