Hello! I recently got this ball python and the only gene they told me it had was Banana. What do you experts think?
Banana spider.
Because of the spider gene he can get a bit of the ‘spider wobble’. Don’t be too surprised if he gets confused when trying to go too far from the ground. They basically have an inner ear issue that causes balance issues. Especially when stressed.
There’s been a lot of pressure and negativity put on the spider gene for the wobble even though other genes in the spider complex can also cause wobble. That may be why it wasn’t mentioned…but that also reflects poorly on who you purchased it from for not bringing up the potential lifestyle issues.

Luckily I didn’t pay a dime for this one! I have noticed a bit of a wobbling when they telescope.
