BALL PYTHON MORPH GENETICS for DUMMIES: Recessive Genes

[@karebear41486]

This was super helpful - thank you!!

[@SNKELTD]

Awesome! You're welcome

[@matthewsalyer9804]

Thank you for a more clear and easy to understand video. I recently started working with reptiles and I know nothing about BP genetics, I’ll be rewatching this daily to help out. A lot of other videos the speaker just rambles and talks as if the listener knows what they are saying, you on the other hand keep explaining it so thank you!

[@SNKELTD]

Awesome! I was actually thinking of remaking this video soon too!

[@robr471]

Probably the best explanation of morphs and genes on KZbin. Great video.

[@SNKELTD]

Wow, thanks!

[@andrewmason1955]

Congratulations on getting monetized. Great explanation, I now have more understanding of HET. That Leopard Clown is stunning.

[@SNKELTD]

Thanks Andrew! I'm glad I could help!

[@Chris83A]

Congrats on Monetization! Definitely cleared things up! I'm looking forward to your next "Gene's for Dummies video!" Incredible how many combinations are out there!

[@SNKELTD]

Thank you! I still see new combos weekly that I've never seen before!

Great vid ,,,, Man yes ,, my brain needed the understanding of the situations at hand ,,, great vid '

Glad it helped!

Good easy to follow and understand descriptions.

[@SNKELTD]

Thanks James!

[@ScottDJohnston]

Great explanations! Very clear. I'll be bookmarking this for future reference. I'm just getting started, but excited for the future. I have a Pied Het Albino male, and picked up a Pastel Enchi Leopard 100% Het Clown 66% Het Pied female, and also a Banana Champagne Mojave possible Het Red Axanthic and 66% Het Pied female. Regretting getting 66%'s a bit, but at least the babies will all be 100% Het Pied at least. I'll see if they prove out to be Pied, and am looking to get a Visual Clown Spotnose male down the road. Great content!

[@SNKELTD]

Thanks Scott! Hopefully yours prove out. You'll have some amazing pieds if they do!

[@ScottDJohnston]

Thanks bro! Really appreciate the lesson!

Congrats on the success of the channel man. This video helped me. Alot. I'm just getting started. I have some male juveniles but I also have a 900 gram chocolate mojave. My question is do I still have time to acquire a breeder female to pair with my mojave this season so I can get my feet wet and try my hand at breeding. If so what would be my best bang for my buck of a female to look to buy to try and breed to my mojave this season. Thanks in advance for any advice.

[@SNKELTD]

Hi Rocky, I'm glad the video helped! I don't think you're too late. People really breed year round now. With a chocolate mojave male you could go 2 different ways IMO. 1. Try another BEL gene and hit some blue eyed Lucy's. Mojave, lesser, butter, mystic, etc... 2. Try another dark gene. Black pastel, cinny, blackhead, mahogany

[@irishfanrock3494]

@@SNKELTD yes that's what I was thinking. I was looking for an adult female lesser for sale but keep missing good deals. I was offered a 3000 gram female Pewter that didnt breed this year for 600 but wasnt sure if that was a good deal or not. If you have time let me know your thoughts of that option. Thank you so much for replying.

[@SNKELTD]

I would say that's a fair price. Maybe not the best deal you'll find, but I don't think you're overpaying. A 3000g 2-gene proven female should lay a nice size clutch. Check morphmarket for sold adult females with the same genes to know where you stand

[@irishfanrock3494]

@@SNKELTD thank you again for taking the time to respond again man. Appreciate the advice.

[@SNKELTD]

Glad I could help!

[@conwkr1]

so I have a baby female GHI Lesser Ghost. What should I put her too in a few years? I have 36 animals that in a few years I will be breeding and I would like to know your opinions about the future pairings and what I should be looking to buy based on what I have already. I have never had a clutch and I don't really know what does what. I have looked at morphmarket and world of ball pythons. However the odds are very confusing.

[@SNKELTD]

With 36 animals, it's kind of too vague to give you a straight answer. What you really need to do is breakdown the females into groups of 3, and decide on a male that works best with them. If you breed mojave, lesser, butter, and other BEL genes to this girl then you have odds of hitting a bel

Thank you, this really helped

Hi.

[@SNKELTD]

Yo!

[@jasonmason6909]

This video really helped me understand better…. Thanks

[@RobFeldbauer-qt3bm]

I love talking about genes and morphs! It just confuses me so much going from ball pythons to talking about retics mid conversation. They talk like geneticists and say het for 1 gene (which i understand is scientifically correct) but does get complicated with those recessives in ball pythons lol

[@jasonmason6909]

I am new to the ball python community!! Just bought a DH albino pied male…. If I was to breed him , to make sure I get a visual pied I should buy a visual pied, correct?

[@SNKELTD]

You can't "guarantee" a visual pied because being a het, on average he only passes on the pied gene to 50% of his offspring. But yes, your best bet would be to breed him to a female visual pied. 1/2 the babies should be pied

Love it i leaned alot bro, i was having trouble understanding this but I think I pretty much get it now Thank you😊
