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 ^^

day 4 of intense effort to choose a new name. my external deadline is less than a week away. i have three tentative names, and one of them is being put through the ultimate test.

playing through Celeste for the first time with myself named it.

[–] inTheShadowOf@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

There's something so much harder about job interviews when the reason is better insurance for surgery. It's interesting how much that changes things. The times I interviewed previously I've felt quite confident, but now I'm emotionally tired and second guessing my responses. I didn't used to be like this :/

I don't always know what to post here, but I hope everyone's holding up okay with whatever is getting to you lately

horny af posting, bottom surgery mentionDear god, bottom surgery has got me feeling more horny than I have since puberty the first time. Really just want to top a boy and bite. xok Really curious of the implications of this for having identified as ace my whole adult life. makima-think

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

spoilerIt’s totally possible that genital dysphoria just surpressed your libido and made you think that you’re ace instead of a horny vampire.

[–] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

spoilerHorny androgynous vampire is a damn fine gender, might try it out.

spoilerJust pissed with people acting like the pope was a great guy. "ugliest danger of our time" and its fucking trans people. Genuinely upsets me a lot how quick people are to overlook such things.

down with cis

[–] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago

spoilerYes, I hear you on that. Anyone who states that β€œgender ideology” is a danger before fascism, climate change, rising militarism, ect is completely disqualified from being considered a comrade to me. Fuck the Catholic Church.

Name a more iconic duo than "not being able to figure out why I felt weird and bad all day" and "discovering at 7:30pm that I forgot to take my morning meds" catgirl-flop

Would it be harassment if I asked every trans girl who posts a picture on Twitter what their measurements are? niko-concern

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

Definitely strikes me as socially unacceptable behavior

[–] inTheShadowOf@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Didn't someone have a comment removed here for basically doing that to you lol

[–] Seryph@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 days ago

I mean it was creepier than just asking measurements since they (I forgor who) asked for pics

lately I've been tempted to get a PS5, but I'll think I'll refrain, not because it doesn't have games I'm interested in (it does), but just because it's ugly

Is transitioning a lifelong process or does it 'end'?

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

the dialectic is ever in motion. nothing is ever sacred or immutable or complete.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Might be a hot take but it definitely seems like it can end. I have an end in mind. Don't know if I'll be able to get there but 🀷 that's a different question I guess...

[–] Jenniferrr@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

It definitely slows down haha i haven’t been at it long enough to know if it actually ends though

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My coworkers were talking about pensions today. They're a little closer to retirement (within the next 10 years). Cause I started later in life, they told me I'd probably be working 30 full years (until I'm well into my 60s). They wondered what I'd do about it all. I told em "does 2055 sound like it'll be good years going forward from that or bad." And that's probably the biggest difference between generations (as real as they are) lol. One hand you have something stable but you had to work for, the other feels like the end of a thread of an unraveling sweater

doomerBy 2055 it won't matter anymore grandma. Blissfully unaware.

Everyone in my generation speculates when the good/bad year divide was too, but in the other direction. 9/11, 2012? 1991?

[–] Ceres@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago

yawns and stretches another successful day of oversharing now its time to sleep soundl- ooohhhuuughghgggggghhhhhh noooooooooooooooo what have i done

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

sad, 'tismI hate feeling like a third (or fourth or fifth) wheel all the time and being overstimulated and overwhelmed attempting to be social

Everything is too much and I feel like I only ever get brought along to things out of pity and then do a bad job socializing while also barely holding it together the whole time and eating myself up mentally for not doing better

I feel like I'm just inherently magnetically repellent to neurotypical socializing

I have no clue how they can do it, I went to dinner at a (pretty nice) restaurant and all the noise was just unbearable while trying to fit into polite small talk and I got a massive headache and spent the whole time feeling like an awkward blob that was just unwanted baggage and was on edge the whole time dreading putting my foot in my mouth or spilling something or making an ass out of myself somehow but apparently it was a nice dinner according to normal people

I just wanna hide under the blankets in a dark quiet room for awhile

Existing for me often feels like that awkward hallway dance thing where two people are trying to walk past each other and both step into each other's way attempting to let the other by, but the other person is every person and the hallway is the world all the time

I'm really bad at this

Everything is too much and I feel like I only ever get brought along to things out of pity and then do a bad job socializing while also barely holding it together the whole time and eating myself up mentally for not doing better.

People don't really do this. If you think someone is weird and unpleasant, it's way easier to just not invite them to things. Especially neurotypical people will try to cut any of that stuff out. They won't benevolently invite someone because "aw, they just need help socializing πŸ₯Ί"

What I'm getting at here: if they are inviting you places, it's because they want you there and they enjoy your presence.

apparently it was a nice dinner according to normal people

Listen to this person

If you can suppress the urge to cringe and instead look onward with wide eyes and a smile that goes to your eyes then you know you're doing your inner child proud.

So this is capeshit, my mom is watching end game and it's the part where the bow guy and Scarlett Johansen have to figure out who's gonna be sacrificed to get the soul stone. Doesn't Bow Guy... have a wife and kids? When it's time to recount the story, is he gonna tell them that he sacrificed the one he loved the most - Scarlett Johansen?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bow Guy

One of the most forgettable avengers lol, can never remember his name either.

But it does sound like the guy just says that you love, not love most tbf
