Banana Ball Python: Genetics and Pairing Odds

Banana is a co-dominant (incomplete dominant) gene. One copy gives the Banana look, and two copies make the Super Banana, a stronger version of it. Bred to a normal, a Banana gives about half Banana babies; a Super Banana gives Banana babies every time.
