Ball Python EGG BOUND! For FOUR WEEKS! Then LAID AN EGG!

[@EbornikExotics]

Great content as always Chris, nice to see your animal ventures progress. Using my channel to document mine now too!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@sandyelliott3350]

I've been stuck on my two acres for three months. Brought in six months of feed for the animals in February. Knew this was coming in January. The hospitals that claim they had no clue just want donations. Good thing I live out of town. If I was stuck in an apartment, I'd go stir crazy. At least you have your snakes to stay busy.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Yea, no big change here, just doing the same thing with my animals and videos LOL.

[@sinandcyanide7505]

I'm in a tiny apartment with no storage space of any kind. 2 kids plus myself in a 750 sq ft 2 bedroom joint AND I'm way past capacity on foster animals and pets. I can't buy a lot of anything really because there's nowhere to put it but just shoving as much stuff as I can wherever I can fit it. Dressers, under beds, behind the tv. It looks like a hoarder lives here, and I still have to go out for some things once a week. One of my kids is supposed to have in home therapy for a disability too and we haven't been able to do that at all. I'm immunocompromised and can't risk having people here.

[@SplicedSerpents]

Have you tried adding spring tails to slightly moulded eggs? I would have thought they'd eat the mould without harming the eggs

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's a great idea!

[@johncomeau66]

Awesome so glad she passed the one egg. I bet the other one will pass to in a few more days good luck man hope it all works out for you

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I hope so too!

[@claudiodiaz9921]

Great video with very value information for any person who keep snakes most for ball python keeper thank Chris👍👍

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

My pleasure!

[@mcfly994]

Chris, I’m pretty sure press and seal doesn’t allow air to permeate. I believe it is airtight. It may be easier to use gasketed tubs to get away from the additional steps/hassle of dealing with press and seal. Glad to hear she passed one egg. Thanks for the video.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I was wondering about that, I saw another breeder trying an enclosed tub, not sure I'd be comfortable with that. I'd at least want to go in and give some fresh air once a week with that setup, or maybe drill a very small hole in a couple places for air exchange.

[@mcfly994]

Chris Hardwick that’s what I’m suggesting is happening with your current approach. I think the fresh air only comes from you removing the press and seal periodically.

[@renatoaguiar4561]

Good to know that she's ok. Let's hope for the best!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Thanks!

[@charleyhendersonj.r.6297]

I'm real glad she finally passed the egg...sorry to here about you having kidney stones right now..that really sucks and I know that they are painful you got my sympathy...another good video

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'm glad she passed it too!

[@hhhserpents5495]

I was starting to worry about her health but I trust your judgment. This is a relief!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I was getting worried too...

[@irrigationtim]

Good going Chris, very educational,.fantastic video. Positive news about your snake, Is good. You need Banana, Enchi , Clown egg's. Maybe some day you can buy a Leopard Pastel .

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Thanks!

[@680ecks]

I've been working the hole time going delivery to delivery . We have 1500 workers in the facility and trucks come from the hole east coast and from the mid west to our place every day . We had 13 or 16 people get it and they got sent home for two weeks then came back . I'm in MA and we have trips to southern CT so we have alot of exposure to NY State and it hasn't been a big deal unless you are over 60 and have other health conditions . You are safe to go to the vet or to town unless you have Asma or so other things then stay home .

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I have a bad chronic lung condition, I can't get it or I'm done for, and believe it or not I'm only six years away from 60.

[@680ecks]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures yes stay home, I need my snake videos ,kinda selfish I know . Hope maybe someday to get something I need from you. .

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

[@JosuesExotics]

Great looking eggs!!!!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Thanks!

[@timfoil2319]

Check this video out! It’s Kevin McCurley from NERD fixing an egg bound Kingsnake. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5m9e6p8rplrq5o So glad to hear she passed one. Hopefully the other comes out soon.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's pretty crazy! Looks like you'd have risk either way, not sure I'm comfortable enough to stick a huge needle into the belly of my snake...

[@traciscott6293]

I'm going through this. I'm so glad you made this video. I just cant make myself leave my property. My girl played 7 eggs(they were nearly 150 grams each) a few broke while passing them. There were 4 that made it to the incubator. They stayed slimy and turn blue green black within 48 hours. The worse smell ever. My snake still has 3 eggs. Two the feel normal size and 1 between that feels small like a slug. It's been nearly a week. I massage and let her swim in warm bathtub for about 5 to 10 min a few times. She is now staying coiled and looks like she might pass them in the next few days.(I hope)

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good luck, fingers crossed. I bet she will pass them eventually, in fact I think it's better to take a chance letting her pass on her own vs. risking damage to the snake trying to get them out by force.

[@claudiodiaz9921]

Hi Chris my question is ?.i have female bp she have soom the eggs but she have a little kink over the vent . she can have egg bund o she can lay eggs normal but she can have risk for egg bund what can i do for help her ? Thank and cheers from TX 👍

[@EliteExoticsBp]

Glad she’s doing well and pasted the egg she’s a gorgeous girl .,I picked up an old Coca Cola refer ,I’m not ready for it yet but it was free so I’m storing it till I’m ready for it.✌️take care Chris

[@InkDaddy0417]

Hey Chris just giving you a friendly tip incase you didn't know. If you pull a clutch of eggs out of your incubator and you notice the a dimpled real bad or really deflated you can actually put some moss right on top of the eggs and that should fix the problem 😁

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good tip! 👍😎

[@sinandcyanide7505]

It's nice to see what's happened with no vet intervention for other people in the future. I'm sure there will be other people who can't take their animals in because of the virus and this makes those situations look less hopeless.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@Venom_life]

Just purchased my ars 70/30 with 2 55/40 levels ! What thermostat should I use ? Any tips you can give me ?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Nice! I'd go for a VE300 x2. You can control two different zones, I'd probably put one probe in the 70/30 section and another probe in the 55/40 section. Here's an Amazon affiliate link: amzn.to/3ezHLfw

[@josephvaughan7693]

You should’ve put the egg face up where you thought the embryo might be it looked like you put it upside down from where you said you thought you possibly seen an embryo

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good catch! I'm going to go down to the incubator and check it out...

[@tinaleighton6390]

I work in the medical field. And all I can tell you is that if you are sick and need to go to the doctor you need to go to the doctor! We are starting to see people now who have been avoiding going to the doctor or even go into the ER in emergencies because of the virus. But it is backfiring on them. They are much sicker and end up being put in the hospital much more often than usual because they waited so long. So please do not avoid treatment if you need it. Wear a mask, wash your hands real well, if you’re really really worried change your clothes and throw them in the washing machine and then take a shower when you get home. But please don’t delay care if you need it.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

[@Thetis058]

Good video . Question though about Bobby has he always been so chill and passive or has it been through you handling Bobby he became so passive ?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

He never tried to bite me, but he was pretty stressed out in some of my earlier videos, he would choke me out LOL

[@Thetis058]

Thank you and good to know .

[@GoingYooper]

Iv seen to many people try and help their female pass eggs to only harm the female. Everyone I have seen who just let them be lost the eggs but the female was fine. Hard call that no one like to have to make.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good to know!! 👍😎

[@soloherps]

I’m rewatching this I thought my girl would have her eggs by now she had what I assumed was a prelay she’s already and it’s been past 30 days I know it varies but she seems really swollen in the midsection where the eggs should be I have pics... I just think after 30 days imma try and help push them out

[@stephensmusicroom]

I love your attitude towards the pandemic. Both my wife and I are considered essential workers ... she works at a vet office and I work in military / medical manufacturing. I see so many people ... like 3/4 of the people I come into contact with who act like it is some sort of anti-american/socialist plot against our freedom to distance or wear a mask... I appreciate those who understand basic science. I just wish people could at least understand even something like my 7th grade health class where we studied basic bacterial and viral infections. I just don't get why 3/4 of the people don't get it. I just wish our President would listen to the science and take this seriously and pass the truth to the people..... we could save our economy and lives ..... sorry rant over........

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I totally agree!

[@sinandcyanide7505]

Those people don't seem to understand that they are the problem. People who think this is some plot to control the masses are the ones who will keep it spreading longer and more widely than it has to.

[@Tigenraam]

Respectfully disagree, but off topic and contentious arguments in comments are annoying so I'd rather not get into it haha

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I knew the pandemic was coming in late January when I saw China building hospitals in a weeks time. I was telling people what was coming, no one believed me. Now that they are burying over 1000 people a day in Brazil double stacking coffins in mass graves people still don't believe it, that's even crazier... Interesting times for sure.

[@stephensmusicroom]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Yes...it was pretty obvious that it was coming .... I stocked up on N95s and other items back when you could buy a box of 10 masks for under $30. I worked in a microbiology lab for 10 years... all those little bugs know how to survive and reproduce. I just keep hoping that with all the new research they might just unlock the key to defeating all viruses.... wouldn't that be awesome!

[@michaelross5674]

I have a girl she laid 4 eggs and 1 slug thought she was done but wasnt put her back she laid another one. So got 5 now but she still has some in her.. I have been so stressed about this i keep soaking her and messaging her ... Im hoping she passes them ....i dont know what else to do cant get to vet yet

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Try feeding her, that's what did it for me. I fed a rat and she passed the rest.

[@shanecarter3766]

Pardon the terminology, but, how much of the python business is just a big circle jerk? Meaning, if Breeder A buys from B, B buys from C, and C buys from A . Nothing is lost nor gained. Just curious how much of the business is a circle jerk vs how much is from actual profitable acquisition.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Depends on if you want to keep expanding and improving your collection. Almost every company that I've worked for has never made a profit, they use all their profits to invest back into the company to expand. If you do make a profit the government here in the USA will take half in taxes. Better to reinvest. Some people do stop expanding at some point and just live off of the profits.

[@thabangmzinyati9754]

She will lay the other egg don't worry

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

[@michaelshurak4609]

I’m going threw the same thing right now,,, but I did take it to a vet, got charged $500-$600 for them to JUST tell me there EGGS,,, and then didn’t even bother to try to help me orrr my F,n snake bc they knew they just took alllll of my emergency money that I had left since during this pandemic I lost a lot of work and am barely scraping by,, i feel like shit for having my girl suffer like that with 2 eggs still in her belly about 10 inches up from the vent,,,,, the vet just took advantage of me and and wouldn’t even give me my snake back untill I paid them the rediculouse amount to “ tell me there eggs” since they couldn’t just go by my “word” rediculouse Ik,, my backs up against the wall and if you want to check the snake out I’m going to be posting on my Instagram #safehavencareandquality but even iffff you take it to the vet,, it doesn’t always turn out to be a good experience,, now I’m realllyyyy broke and in a bind knowing my snake could die due to money,, and the fucked up part is they won’t even allow me to do a payment plan for a surgery ,, so hope your snake passes that last egg,, goals bless man

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's messed up.

[@michaelshurak4609]

Chris Hardwick i know,, I even reached out to alotttt of bigger breeders that have been doing this for a long time and have experienced something like this asking for ANYYY advice or help that they could give me to try and help save my baby girl and nothing, not a single response or attempt to even try to offer advice and that was the first time I was really disappointed in the community bc one reason I got into this hobby as deep as I have gone so far is bc of how this community bands together to help one another but that sorta put a sour taste in my mouth and crushed a part of me that really looked up to some of those guys but yea,, I just wish I knew what to do ,, and I don’t know if they thought I wanted money even though i sorta made it clear by even saying “ I am not asking for money” lol but some advice or any help in any way you could offer to help get those eggs out of her in a safe way since what happened to me at the vet the first time,, but yea I don’t know why i didn’t get any responses back but yea
