The average herper wouldn't know what they were to begin with since they aren't a ball python. LOL-Sorry I couldn't resist.

I found this a very interesting thread so far. Mark M. & Kelly Paul have really added some great info here. I've been wanting Banana pectinata for a long time. This recent mexican import is very interesting- the adult picture I've seen had a mostly black head.

The current US Banana pectinata stock has been here for a long time. Maybe they've been bottlenecked a bit over the years with limited genetic stock. Maybe the originals were brought in from a certain population that isn't the same locality as these new Mexican banana pectinata. I like the fact that we finally got some new/fresh genetics/bloodlines from Mexico for the hobby.

Great work everybody with the breedings. They are such neat animals and it's sad that more people don't know, or care, about them.
