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.
