snake postI'd like to talk about one of my favorite ball python morphs, the banana gene. It is an incomplete dominant trait first produced by NERD in 2003. Incomplete dominant means an animal only needs one copy of the gene for it to express itself, however a "super" (homozygous) form exists when both parents pass the gene on to their offspring.

An adult and baby banana ball python. As you can see, they are bright yellow with black spots as adults, looking very much like a banana. They have white bellies. This is a different gene from albinism, and they have normal eyes. Here's a wild type for comparison:

One thing that is very unique to the banana gene is it is sex linked (the only ball python morph that does this, not sure about other animals). Female bananas will produce equal split of male and female, banana and wild type. However in males, it is linked to how the sire inherited the gene. If he inherited it from his father's side, he is a "male maker" and almost all of the bananas he produces will be male. The sex split and morph split are the same (50/50), but almost all the males will have the gene and almost all the females will be wild type. Same if he inherited the gene from his mother, just reversed (this is a "female maker"). A common myth/misunderstanding is that this holds true all the time, it does not. A male maker can still produce female banana ball pythons, and male wild types. Same for female makers, in the other direction. Roughly 3% of snakes produced from male bananas will be one of these instead of the "expected" outcome.


These are both super bananas if you wanted to see what they look like ^^

Does anyone here know what the best way is to change my name on my paypal account? I’ve read that some people could do it without any issues, yet others had to send them their ID, which I really don’t want to do.

found a surgeon offering facial feminization and masculinization here, even though i dont think it's legal. genuinely want to talk to him and ask him what he's doing but i also don't want to attract attention

gushpostingUgh I wish she wasn't 2 timezones awayyyy doggirl-tears which god do I have to strangle for making that choice?

She is such a beautiful person I had no idea I had it within me to feel this way about a person. She wrote me a fucking poem last night and sent it to me this morning and I'm entirely beside myself right now. It's so pretty.

She's such an artistic and creative soul and I love that so much. She encourages me to tap into my own creativity and because of her I have a writing project I've been spending a lot of time on. I never would have done it without her encouragement.

She's so strong and brave and fucking hilarious and sweet and thoughtful and smart. I love her smile and her hair and her wit and fashion sense. Fucking hell I'm so close to just telling her flat out how I feel because at this point we've both said everything up to but excluding that

Did the whole life in another world dream this one a furry world with me not being furry though (I am a furry tho) all I had was my wits strength and my slow cooker full of uncooked oats to get me by. Made it home after making friends and being a legend though I left them some oats.

whining about how I soundNo one believes when I make calls and claim to be myself. My name is masc but I got a baby femme voice so I got to do the birthdate, full social, mother's maiden name etc. "Can I speak to Mr Wmill" "that's me actually" "oh..."

I guess it wouldn't be so bad if my appearance wasn't so mismatching. Idk might need more sleep if this is bugging me
