Absolutely stunning snake!
I know know how to reduce freckles, (good link regarding that above) but what morphs have the most freckles.
I like extreems and want both.

Cinnamon and black pastel both throw insane amounts of freckles with banana

I am a bit new to ball pythons.
I am undecided about which female banana to hold back.
The pastel banana with developing freckles or the super pastel banana or my lesser pastel banana with hardly any freckles .
Big freckles are nice like in the above picture but with my banana with freckles, as she is small they look like mites which puts me off a bit. I sometimes scratch them to just be sure 
. realy hate mites
Will they get bigger like the above picture?
I am still not sure, if its an extreme of large freckles or none I would be happy.

Sounds like all three snakes are very nice looking if you are having trouble deciding which one to holdback! (pics please) The morphs themselves tell me which one has more freckles. The super pastel obviously can brighten the entire snake and reduce freckles, although it will probably continue to get some more as it ages. The lesser morph may not ever get a decent amount of freckles, all bel morphs really clean up banana! On the other hand it seems cinnamon and those darker morphs can produce snakes with more freckles. If I were you I would holdback all three being females! 
That’s just my problemI have a half of a baby rack of holdbacks! If I had to choose 1 it would be the lesser, pastel, banana just because of the bel genetics in there. They can make many cool banana morphs, and you can produce banana bels that never dull out in the slightest!

This is a beautiful snake! I’m not a breeder so I can’t say holdback value in genes, but I’d be keeping that one for the looks! Great job!

They are all very nice looking! I would keep the lesser, for future breeding. I have done a lot with lesser banana stuff and really enjoy some of the stuff I am producing. I also though really like the look of the pastel banana you have. I like the orange on the head and the funky dorsal pattern and colors it has. Also the way the sides look very outlined and the bright striped tail looks great to me! I would honestly keep that one as well, just based purely on looks not genes.

Thanks, the lesser is growing on me, not to bothered about value I like pretty .
Thanks, that’s 2 for lesser and one for the pastel.
I prefered the pastel to start but I think I will hold back both.
One with potently lots of freckles and one with potentially less (er)
Be good to see what happens.

Those feckless are really something else. I hope you wind up finding out what genetic interactions are causing them to look like that! Maybe it’s time to look up these similar phenotypes in other, better understood animals to see if similar comobs in BP’s prove through more often?

This is off topic but if you like freckles and spots in snakes you should look at a reticulated Python morph called cow. I think you would like it!

I agree with @cherrehc they are all very pretty! I do think that lesser is a standout for sure! Bels and banana always go so good together!
