What’s in this ball python?










Just got this so called black axanthic is what the previous owner said but just curious on what you guys think.

Color doesn’t look right to be black axanthic, and definitely isn’t het banana, as banana isn’t a recessive gene.

Looks like a pastel, that is starting to darken with age to me. The head and stripe behind it is very cool though! Nice looking snake! @nswilkerson1 is definitely right it is either a banana or not, there is no het. Banana.

Looks like a pastel. Definitely not black axanthic. That is an expensive gene.

Ugh. Was worried about that. Luckily I didn’t pay much for him and got some other guys in the mix with him. But that’s why I posted it, he seemed way too light.

I agree, looks like pastel.
