    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....

Hello everyone. I am still trying to get a grasp on these ball python morphs. What I have here is the result of breeding my Banana to an Orange dream enchi. I am going to post two pictures of each. I do not see Banana in any of them. The female was raised here from a baby and this was her first breeding so no retained sperm just bad odds? What I am trying to figure out is who is Orange dream and if there is anything else in here.
Thanks in advance.

This is a real hard one for me. If I'm 100% honest, sorry, you had some really bad genetic outcome luck and the OD and Enchi genes are very low expression to begin with. Zero bananas, yikes. If I had to guess, one of the parents has Pastel in them. Can you post pictures of the parents please?

1. PASTEL or PASTEL OD
2. NORMAL
3. PASTEL or PASTEL OD
4. ENCHI OD (100%)
5. NORMAL
6. NORMAL
7. POSSIBLE ENCHI

I'm only certain on #4, the rest are really toss ups.
 
Thanks for the replies. I will try to get pictures of the parents today. I am new to the Ball python market as I have always focused on colubrids. So far this year I have had several snakes pop up that I did not expect. I am suspecting that several of our snakes have extra genes in them.
This clutch does seem to be bad odds. My other clutch of the same male to her sister only gave me four eggs with one being a Banana Orange dream. You gotta love playing the odds.

I agree with Robert on #4, I didn't pic up on the banding that enchi influences. Also thought 1 & 3 looked pastelish, but pastel wasnt mentioned in the parents. Wasn't sure how variable the OD enchis were.
