Coral Glow

What Coral Glow looks like

Same gene as Banana from a different breeding line. Visually identical. Name used interchangeably with Banana by many breeders.

Produces vivid yellow and lavender/purple coloration with dark freckle-like spots that develop with age. Heterozygous (Banana/Coral Glow) is a striking bright yellow and lavender animal. Homozygous (Super Banana) is lighter with more lavender and less pattern definition. Banana and Coral Glow are the same gene discovered independently by different breeders. IMPORTANT: This gene shows sex-linked inheritance patterns in the ZZ/ZW sex determination system of ball pythons. Male-maker vs female-maker lines affect the sex ratio of visual offspring. The gene is believed to be on one of the sex chromosomes.

How to identify it: Bright yellow and lavender/pink coloration. Dark freckles/spots develop with age (more prominent in males). Super form is lighter/more pastel with enhanced lavender. Distinctive eye color.
