Your Questions Answered
What does "Het. Pied" mean for breeding?
This ball python carries one copy of the recessive piebald gene. To produce visual pied offspring, it must be paired with another visual pied or another 100% het pied. Breeding two hets gives a 25% chance of visual pieds in the clutch.
Is the banana coloring stable?
Yes. Banana morphs are known to develop more freckling with age, but this individual shows a high-quality, clean pattern. The base yellow coloration is vibrant and will remain, making it a standout animal.
How do you guarantee the genetics?
We source directly from breeders with documented clutch records for hets. While there is no visual marker for the het pied gene, we stand behind the genetics as represented based on our trusted sourcing. It is a breeder-quality animal.
