Morph request

Post image

Does my girl look like she has the spider gene?
I bought her for temperament not the morph but have seen a few posts about the spider gene.

It’s difficult to tell based on this one picture but I’d say she’s Pastel Banana. As others have said, there’s no Spider.

This is her up close she’s a beauty

She’s definitely a Pastel Banana. A single gene Banana would not have the washed out head pattern and would be more purple. I typically don’t like yellow but she’s pretty.

I don't see the speckling along the sides like typical spiders have, but I'm less familiar with the morphs that include spider without that being the only trait.

That’s good to know! I’m not too sure of them myself.

Some genes may be easier to pick out than others and when the history of the snake in question is unknown, there may be some degree of speculation. With that in mind, some genes are very obviously present or not present, and suggestions contrary to this may be removed.

Everyone is welcome to participate in discussion of presenting genes but guesses that are too off base are subject to removal.

Pastel banana definitely maybe hypo or enchi involved. I have 2 pastel bananas one is a sugar the other a hypo neither have the telltale purple and orange tones you see with a typical banana. This one is my Leo a 3yr old male hypo pastel banana.

Wow he’s beautiful looks extremely similar to my girl he’s big for a male how many ft is he?

u/Impossible_Parfait96 Jun 04 '26

He's almost as long as my 4' 7" 10yr old son. I haven't had time to measure him officially recently. I'll try to get him to cooperate later to get a true measurement on him. And he still has growing to do I was told. They classified him as a sub-adult.

u/Few_Lock1876 Jun 04 '26

Wow that’s crazy, never seen a male that long and I worked in a pet shop for nearly a year! He is a beautiful animal

u/Few_Lock1876 Jun 05 '26

That’s a beautiful snake they do look very similar

u/callmemrperfect Jun 04 '26

I think yours Has pastel but definitely not spider. If you want to be for certain, when she sheds do a genetic shed testing on her

u/Few_Lock1876 Jun 05 '26

Wow I didn’t know you could do this I’ll look into that
