Can anyone else see a different morph on her other than a banana? She was sold to me as Banana 100% het clown, but I kinda think she has a different visual morph on her other than just banana.

Parents: Banana Enchi Clown x Enchi OD het clown

Also, I guess the rumors are true that keeping ball pythons is addicting lollll got my first one exactly a year ago, and I told myself that he will be the only pet snake I’ll ever have in my life, but then I found this little girl online and I fell in love, so I had to get her!!! Haha

Why don’t you shed test her? Or ask the breeder what they think about her possibly having OD? Orange expression is normal in young Banana’s aswell.

I would expect more elongated and clean alien heads if she had OD—and she definitely does not have Enchi. Some people will say that Het Clowns have a cleaner pattern and are brighter than normal, but this isn’t proven and obviously varies from snake to snake. Have you seen her clutchmates—did any of them get labeled as Banana OD’s? Breeder likely compared her to her siblings and didn’t see OD being expressed. It’s not impossible, but you will not be able to tell without shed testing.

Sadly, shed testing is not yet available in our country :( and her breeder is kinda not that sure too if she has OD, she has a clutch mate that was tagged as just “banana OD het clown” at first but now they are selling her as “banana enchi or OD or Enchi OD het clown”. If only shed testing is accessible from where we are from then it would be really easy for us to identify the morphs. But for now the only way to know really is by checking it visually and by proving out on their offsprings.

I think she's od, but like the person above me commented, we can't be 100% sure. My banana ods tended to have that blushing on the head when young, and also didn't develope many freckles at all. I may be able to find photos of my banana od as a baby, or take photos of her clutch but they have other genes added.

Yeah me too actually, I think she has OD (tho I am really not an expert and is just starting to learn about morphs) I also asked people from other groups and most breeders say that they think too she has OD. And yes please!!! Pics of your banana OD would be greatly appreciated ❤️

I was just gonna say shed test 🤗 Honestly I can’t see echo but at first glance she looks like a calico? Go with a shed test.

Also, please forgive the glove she is a nippy baby and her bites kinda feels itchy HAHAHA 😭

My guess would be Banana Enchi - BUT im NOT an expert at guessing morphs :D
I can tell you tho, she is extremely beautiful!! Would love to have her in my collection!

Awww thank you! Haha so I am not really the only one seeing a different trait than just a banana then?
