    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....

This is the first time in all the years I have been keeping these animals that I think I have buyers remorse. I had always avoided the banana/CG gene because of the color change as adults and the spots but finally broke down and bought a pastel banana. Here is the animal.:ack2:
Has anyone else ever regretted a purchase?

I don't see a reason for buyer's remorse. I think it's a nice looking snake.
 
Its a nice snake Steve. I bet Harald dont like black spots on the banana's either! Only thing i really regret is not buying multi gene girls in the beginning and having nice fat 4+ year old girls right now. Oh well.
 
I don't like the black dots, either....
I've wondered if one can get the dots not to show up through the addition of more morphs.
 
The dots do kinda make them look like they've got bugs on them.

I've regretted a snake or two. Mostly 'poss hets'....after years of growing them I had to think to myself "Why didn't I just get a full het or a visual?"

Still very nice for a banana and the babies are amazing lookers!
 
I have a male banana and I think the dots is what makes that morph so beautiful, it's just a nice additive to the great colors those snakes have to begin with

I've always craved a banana, but admit the spots make me think mites. Still a good looking, healthy snake :)
 
I have a few customers on either side. They like them or they dont, but either way they gotta have one. Me personally, i could do with out the black specs. Although i do think we will find something, or gene to work with making those specs the focus point. Still a favorite in my collection.
 
Between the loss of the purple and the increase in spots, they are not one of the ones that get better with age IMO.
 
Should have went with a candino. Those keep nice purples as adults and don't have any spots.
 
Supers are being held back because they produce normal sex ratios and any male from a female is a female maker so they are very valuable to make female banana combos.
 
Not that I'm looking for them for sale. I'm looking to see what they're like. I don't see pics of them. I don't see pics of when they're older, if they get the ugly black spots or not. I'd like to know what they look like and how they age in regards to their looks.
