They have almost identical characteristics and are impossible to tell apart when presented in a mixed group. They had different origins from Africa and were bred and developed by two different US breeders. Much like the butter and lesser two sided morph there is an overlap and distinction of Bananas and Coral Glows. The Banana Ball Python and the Coral Glow Ball Python Morphs They all have different beginnings but what they seem to have in common is an ability to make most morphs so much better and to constantly turn heads. Though they are beautiful snakes with friendly dispositions, the risk of lifelong neurological issues is a considerable downside to producing this morph.In the last few years there has been an intense explosion on the ball python scene of some brightly colored animals that includes the banana or coral glow, the toffee or candy and the mind blowing rainbow ball python. If you are interested in purchasing a Spider ball python, it might be best to adopt a rescue if possible rather than contribute to this controversial breeding practice. This condition is characterized by tremors, a lack of coordination, and poor reflexes, and its emergence has resulted in fewer breeders producing the morph. One potential issue to keep in mind with Spider morphs specifically, though, is a specific neurological condition often referred to as a “wobble.” Like most common morphs, there are many variations of Spider ball pythons, such as the Spider Mojave, Spider Clown, and even a Spider Banana variation, which is a mix of the aforementioned popular Banana morph. The thin stripes weaving throughout the snake’s entire body give them a lovely spider web pattern, which resulted in the morph’s namesake. While typical ball pythons have brown, gold, and black spots lined with thick brown and black stripe-like markings, those of the spider morph have much thinner brown and black stripes. Spider ball pythons originated with a genetic mutation which caused the snake’s markings to have a spiderweb-like appearance. Those yellow spots are stunning! #2 Spider Still, they deserve a spot on this list, as they are one of the first morphs we think of when it comes to coloration and overall appearance.

Nowadays, Banana ball pythons and many of their variations are pretty common and relatively inexpensive, depending on the exact gene expression of their color and markings. Interestingly, the Banana morph originated naturally in the wild and was further developed through more selective breeding over the years for a brighter yellow color and more attractive patterns. These are quite a widespread variety of ball python and a great start to our list of popular morphs.Ĭurrently, there are dozens, if not well, over 100 different variations of this well-loved color morph, such as Super Banana, Banana Spider, and Banana Pied, all of which are easily recognized by their distinct pastel yellow markings. Banana ball pythons are known for their light beige bodies accented by vibrant yellow spots and markings throughout.
