This was an excellent video, and phenomenal points that I also wish I had know before we really started. Some of these have to be "learned the hard way" to an extent, such as finding the balance etc. Great stuff thanks for sharing!

[@user-uv8ep3uw7o]

Thank you for all the hard work you have done for this industry! Always happy to learn through all the helpful videos and advice. Helped me a lot building my own business in South Korea. 🙏🏼 Can’t wait for some new hetflix & patreon videos coming soon!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Thank you! We're happy to help! :)

This makes me feel so much better about starting with a small collection (8 snakes 2.6) and letting everything grow organically. The way i built my collection im definitely going to be holding quite a few back once babies start coming, but until then i have been enjoying watching the ones i have grow.

[@Lemasterscales]

Great Advice And Great Video Justin and everyone @thekinova team!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed it!

[@familyjewels9854]

Awesome advice, I definitely get all excited seeing everything else people are making and want it all but have stuck to my original plan and love and will continue to work my two favorite projects sunset and ultramel, of course I have others but my focus has and is still those two. Keep inspiring guys.

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Thanks for watching!

[@r.k.s.morphs6940]

You always have great information and love watching what you are bringing to the reptile world .

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Very kind words! Thanks :)

[@patrickalilbitofeverything5181]

Awesome snakes and great information 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💪🏽🫡

[@Asd1234Killer]

i see you comment on 95% of the snake videos i have you are dedicated forsure

[@patrickalilbitofeverything5181]

@@Asd1234Killer yes I love this community

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

What a great video. Back to basics. Really enjoying the gene breakdown videos

[@celticreptiles3766]

Loved this video much needed information and I really appreciate it

[@KINOVAReptiles]

You are so welcome!

[@jessee6885]

Yes, this and more. Great video! No one achieves a high level of success monetarily by buying huge amounts of animals on their first or second year in, measure your success by your personal happiness and that of your animals. Many people lose so much time and money because they get into the hobby for the wrong reasons. Get into this because you enjoy it. Again awesome video.

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Well said!

[@SuperDonBone]

Great video and good pointers.

[@lanedj801]

One of the best videos you’ve done!

[@806pythons7]

Great lessons that I have learned and continue to learn. The advice & tips are always appreciated. Stay Safe!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Thanks, you too!

[@TheSilverVixen]

If I ever get the money and space for it I would LOVE to tinker with Champagne Lavenders (my only BP is a male Champagne het Lavender), I love the look of them so much. Meringue has a lot of white too, he's the lightest Champagne I've personally seen.

[@GPCRalph]

Excellent video. Good insights. Thank you for preparing and posting this.

[@KINOVAReptiles]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)

[@xboyya520]

lesson 5 is exactly what i need to do🤣🤣🤣i think everyone should see this video haha👍

[@crypticoils]

Awesome advice from the 🐐! I've run into some of these mistakes myself and would have loved to have avoided them!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Absolutely! It's so common!

[@1spaceman604]

thank you for your videos man just started buying racks cant wait for the first few girls too be here. been taking in as much info on the breeding as possible would love to see a video on buying adults vs babies

[@Arctic_Morphs]

Absolutely love this information!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@ReachOutReptiles]

Great advice! Passion needs discipline to last. Well said, Justin. 😎🤙

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Thanks Garrett!

Number 7 is more important than anything else. All the other numbers are about not stressing. Number 7 is crucial.

[@kilburnreptiles]

Great video!

Thanks!

[@snakemannn1744]

Well done ,,,,,, Very nice of you to share your wonderful educated thoughts to help us better our selves on care and breeding tatics for the future for greater success ,,,, Thanks Handshakes '

[@gingernorman5663]

I love sunset!!

[@eugenereardon4557]

You have some of the best combos that anybody ever makes I’ll tell you the hardest is the investment combos are so expensive. I just started breeding about it about two years ago and I did some nice Mojave’s I’m going to do a banana clown and a fire pinstripe this year and hopefully I get something good I was just curious what do you think about that combination? I did my first show this year and did not sell one of my snakes and I have some really nice Lesser and Mojave stuff like that but nobody bought anything but I ain’t given up yet I love watching your videos, and the education that I get from your channel❤❤❤❤😊

[@seanbaros-qe1rp]

Your ball pythons are wicked!!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Thanks so much!

You just need to have the right morphs and you can get there it all takes time

Saludos y felicidades porque tienen unas vivoras concolores increibles y espectaculares por eso son ustedes los mejores saludos

[@stevie-green]

At 1.38 the snake on the left white with grey ish patterns looks enchi but what else is in there , its identical to 1 I have but I've never known what the combo is

[@georgebennett4722]

Hey Justin, I tried looking but couldn’t find one. Do you have a video or info on your feeding schedules for your females?

[@joshscritchfield693]

The combos I have in just my 2 adults I can make so many different combos and I can what all goes with what and not just with my 2 snakes

[@zakiblack5025]

kinova a guide for starter breeders what snakes to buy now with 1000 dollars

[@jjmfour2049]

Sounds like somebody has been trading stocks lol. Keep taking care of the game, life is an investment!🔥💯

[@livingodditiestv207]

So what is a "small collection"? 100 animals? More? Less?

[@RickyGIII]

Less lol

[@KINOVAReptiles]

I’d say 20 or fewer. Different definition for everyone probably

[@jjmfour2049]

However many you can genuinely care for and doesn't make you feel overwhelmed. Health is the pinnacle of wealth. The one thing you can't make back is time!

[@MalleeK96]

A question can you have the male and female live together all year round so they can breed when they whant or is that s bad thing?

[@KINOVAReptiles]

You can, but typically it is not recommended unless you can provide a large enclosure with various options for hides, heating, water, etc., so they do not have to compete for resources. Ball Pythons are not difficult to breed so there's no real need to do that.

[@crazycanuck8177]

Clicked on your website page and now my pc has 19 viruses. Other then KZbin and steam this pc is normally used for nothing else.

[@Varenyam86]

Ah yes, wish I'd seen this a bit sooner 😂 then I'd chosen a project and started buying animals to fit the project and not random "ooh shiny" 2 gene animals because I liked how they looked already 😅

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Happens to the best of us!

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

I have an odd question and u r the only person I can think of that can answer it for me. I commented in a video (won't say who) and they were talking about the best genes for clowns. Ha had the obvious yb, leopard and sn. I commented that he was missing rs and he said rs is an illusion. It's a unnecessary gene and was just a marketing ploy. Now, I'm a mid size breeder and use a lot of rs in my stacks. Alot have nothing to do with clown. Like RS weirdo or rs dg. Now I'm bothered only cause this person has a very large channel and is very well known. I'm kinda baffled. Any thoughts?

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Everyone has their opinions and larger breeders aren’t always right. The public loves RS, and they are ones who decide what gene become popular 🙌🙌

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

@@KINOVAReptiles that was the most diplomatic response I've ever read😬 ur the goat J
