About this product
Banana Mojave Ball Python — 247+ sold. In stock at Morphdirect.
The Banana Mojave Ball Python is a proven morph combining two of the most popular genes in the hobby. This snake is for the keeper looking for a reliable, visually striking animal with predictable genetics. The Banana gene provides vibrant yellow coloration, while the Mojave refines the pattern and intensifies the contrast. We added this line to our catalog in January 2026 and have found the breeder to be consistently reliable with excellent feedback on animal health and temperament.
Stand-Out Features
- High-Contrast Pattern: The Mojave influence cleans up the typical Banana pattern, creating a more defined, high-contrast look as the snake matures.
- Predictable Genetics: As a double co-dominant morph, breeding projects with this animal yield predictable and valuable offspring.
- Proven Feeding Response: This line has been selectively bred for a strong, consistent feeding response on frozen/thawed rodents.
- Excellent Temperament: Known for a calm, handleable disposition typical of well-started Ball Pythons.
- Vibrant Coloration: The Banana gene ensures bright yellow and orange hues develop with each shed.

Your Questions Answered
Will the colors change as it grows?
Yes. Banana Mojaves are known for their color development. The yellow and orange pigments will intensify with each shed, typically reaching full vibrancy by 12-18 months of age. The Mojave gene helps maintain pattern clarity during this process.
Is it guaranteed healthy?
Yes. Every animal undergoes a health check before shipping. It comes with a 7-day health guarantee from arrival. We document feeding records and provide a detailed care sheet. One note from our staff: a customer once returned a similar animal stating it was 'too tight' in its enclosure—this was due to an aftermarket tank with incorrect dimensions. The animal thrived in a standard, properly sized setup.
What should I have ready for arrival?
Have a secure 10-20 gallon enclosure with a proper heat gradient (88-92°F hot side, 78-80°F cool side), humidity between 50-60%, at least two snug hides, a water bowl, and appropriate substrate like coconut husk or cypress mulch. Avoid handling for the first 5-7 days to allow for acclimation.
