The Potential of the 'Genetic Stripe' Ball Python!

[@piratenpyrooo]

Just got my g-stripe, lesser, pastel and im soooo in love with it!! Looks so good! Alot of good mixes to make i see 😃

[@GeekyGeckoCreations]

VERY COOL! Love ur style videos

[@carissahanson4308]

I am getting a male G-Stripe today! My friend got him a year ago and this is my first snake. Loving your videos!

[@Ouro_kin1]

Just got a lesser g-stripe for my first bp, he's creamish silver, and has a white stripe with gold borders. I absolutely love him

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Awesome!

[@ravenwolf8549]

That genetic stripe clown was absolutely gorgeous!!! And Bobby had me crying I was laughing so hard. He's too much! 🤣

[@dylanmason2105]

Thanks for these videos! Huge help in deciding what project paths to take and avoid!

[@joet3682]

I’m learning so much from your channel Chris plus the few dozen others I watch lol...I’ve been researching adult females on morph market per your suggestion on breeding quickly...one morph I have my eye on is a puzzle Mojave I saw...I’m trying to find a pinstripe puzzle so I can breed them together and make a jigsaw puzzle...I haven’t seen anyone make that combo yet

[@suzystone244]

Bobby: Dad Dad Dad Dad ....Daaad. Chris: Brags about Stripe ..... Whatever .....🤣🤣💣💥

Chris, i just won a superstripe in an auction from freedom breeders! im very stoked! cant wait to mix it in with what i already have!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Awesome!

[@robertmoore1123]

Great video as always thank you for your time and help 💯💯💯💯🤙🤙🤘🤘. I like the reduced patterns . Can you do one on the bongo and red stripe genes .. thanks in advance .

[@egvividd8312]

I bought a genetic morph and she is the best she was having eating problems but we got that under control and she is so happy getting weight back so that’s good.

[@jordanmiller1871]

That $100 Genetic Stripe on morphmarket is mine now. 😂❤️

[@michaelscaggs144]

Chris a show is coming up on oct 5 and 6 in Greensboro nc I’m going to look for a fire or a super pastel how much should I pay for them looking for females 1700 grams or more

[@joet3682]

Michael Scaggs check morph market to get an idea of prices before you go

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good luck finding an adult female that's not a normal, you probably won't find it at a show, better off to look on Morphmarket.

[@michaelscaggs144]

Joe T what should I breed with a male super paste that can produce something nice 👍🏻

[@joet3682]

Michael Scaggs pastels tend to fade once they reach adulthood but a decent combo is a pastel spider...or you could get another super combo morph and breed them together and get a bunch of pastels and whatever the other morph is...guaranteed not to get any normals that way. Orange dream keeps its color into adulthood so it’s a bit better gene than the pastel....as for which morph it’s up to you and what you would like to see

[@robertmoore1123]

I think the red stripe makes the color brighter ..

[@ericwilson2320]

Love your videos got a question is it expensive to set up at a show and do you leave your snakes there overnight thanks again

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

It's usually from $100-$150 a table, maybe more at bigger shows. You do leave your snakes overnight, they have security around the clock.

[@MitchellGWhitehead]

So you ship any hatchlings? I would like to purchase one of the bamboo babies.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'll ship after the Denver Repticon on October 19-20, 2019.

[@MitchellGWhitehead]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures my wife and I are going to the reptile show in Cordova TN to try and find a coral glow black pastel. I'm pretty excited about that also.

[@joet3682]

Haha I didn’t know ball pythons were arboreal but Bobby was definitely trying to get as high as possible lol

[@LSSteve]

Hey Chris could I send you some pictures of a couple of ball pythons I have to help me identify their morphs better. I pretty much know the base of what they are but I think they could have some more genes too.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Sure, upload a photo somewhere and post a link in the comments section under any video, I'll see it.

[@TheZooman23]

Nice video !!!!! Have a question why is the Raven morph so expensive.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Expensive morphs have a low supply and a high demand.

[@TheZooman23]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures ok thanks. Do you think you can do a video on the raven

[@forfun212678]

If u are doing more of these gene highlights, I think u should do some of these. I know some of these are higher end and not cheap but amazing when doing combos Acid Black Lace Cafe Candy Carbon Citurs Coffee Confusion Hurricane Monsoon Quake I could many more but that are a few off the top of my head.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Great ideas! I actually did the Monsoon already, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inaTknlsnr5qnbs

[@collinbyers8904]

Is a pastel genetic striped bp the same as a pastel striped bp?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Not sure about 'pastel striped' but the genetic stripe is a recessive morph, you'd need two copies of the gene for a visual. Everything you breed it to would be het for genetic stripe.

[@Ibaneddie76]

If you want some investment advice buy a few recessive visual females when they are (not) popular and start producing interesting combos that you thought of yourself. All it takes is for someone like Justin to produce one crazy looking animal with G stripe in the mix and those females that are going for $200 on MM will suddenly shoot up to $2000, I've seen it happen many times. I've also seen it happen with Co-doms as well. When I first got back into Ball Pythons you couldn't give away Blackheads or Ghosts now they are both really popular in the right combo.

[@austinmoss9089]

You should add what substrait you use and the rat food you use in the description

[@KEEPitSWEPT]

Just found this channel. You should see my BLACK HEAD GENETIC STRIPE ORANGE GHOST!

[@aaronskalos9054]

Hello i am a new ball python owner. My ball python rarely goes in her hide she's pretty active at night but doesn't hide during the day just lays behind her hide on the warm side of the tank I have check temperatures again and again everything seems right any help would be greatly appreciated

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Each snake is different, some hide some come out more.

[@aaronskalos9054]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures thank you . love watching the videos

[@nola72]

From all of the reptile shows you have been to, which of your morphs have you sold the most of? And which the least?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

The cheapest ones sell the fastest, and the Bamboos. Coral Glows are good sellers too.

[@rrsnakesarebeautiful3092]

Bobby is amazing he's a beautiful bamboo. I have a female bamboo possible ghost. After watching many of your videos i had to get a bamboo. I have 3 genetic stripe's. 1 male banana cinni genetic stripe,2 females, 1 normal genetic stripe and 1 butter yellow Belly genetic stripe and there amazing when i first seen the genetic stripe i got 3 from my local reptile shop there were going to keep them as they were not on show but because i knew the shop owner he said i could have all 3 and he said i was lucky as he wasn't going to sale them at all, got other genetics stuff got a plan for making different mixture but I'm a hobbies and they my babies and breeding is only so i can keep the snakes i have in my collection and on my second breeding June July should have two female's laying if everything goes well. My frist season was a hardest one as i didn't have an Incubator which i now have, I've made a home made one and one baby from 6 eggs layed. It's been an Learning experience for me and I'm doing better this time around. My babies (snakes) are amazing and have changed my lifestyle for the better. Helps with me mental health 🙂and they are important part of my life.... I've never given up were I've had people saying i would give up after a year it's now 4 years ago that they said that to me and i wouldn't give them up at all. Snakes are beautiful art. Ball pythons, corn snake, & boa in my collection 🐍another great video but Bobby is the star with you to.....

[@BigDave-rc6qs]

wouldnt mind seeing a feeding video for patreon. im a big fan :)

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Maybe I will! Both of my retics are in a crazed feeding mode, I'm scared to even open the enclosure to feed them, they come flying out! LOL

[@BigDave-rc6qs]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures haha i bet that can be erm interesting. maybe invest in a full suit of armour lol get your smelting skills out again ha

[@ashlysmith7525]

Hey Chris I know you have a very strong knowledge on snakes and genes so I was hoping you could answer a couple questions for me. I own a female Butter Genetic Stripe and a Male albino ball python. If I paired the two would I get albino genetic stripes? And if I paired a genetic stripe with any other morphs would they have the genetic stripe pattern?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Genetic Stripe and Albino are both recessive. If you breed them you'll het hets, won't look albino or GS. You'll have to breed the hets together to get visuals.

[@ashlysmith7525]

How are you paying for all of this isn't it like 30 grand or more for all of yours yearly cause just 2 is 900 $ yearly for food and substrate

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Actually for all my rat food, rat bedding and snake bedding I pay about $3,000 a year. I sell ten snakes at $300 each and cover my expenses.

[@yuthot5963]

If I may ask how many ball pythons do u have ?

[@julihath8046]

That's a shame about feeding videos. I think they can teach a valuable life lesson. Unless you are a fruitarian, every time you eat, something had to die to provide that meal for you. We are simply maintaining the illusion that we are any better than the snake in that.
