Clown Pied Heaven! + Can you OVERPAY for a Ball Python?

[@cobycrisp326]

had to watch it twice ….. beautiful babies once again ooooooooooowe!!!!!

[@Dub.45]

I think one of the biggest things about the price is that it's always a gamble when buying an animal to profit off in the future. You could spend 10,000 - 20,000 for a snake, but there is no guarantee's when dealing with an animal. So just for that matter I def. have a limit no matter how " right " the animal is for me. If the animal is over my limit, i'll buy the het's to produce it myself, which I find much more rewarding in the long run. Also you'll probably produce more than just one.

[@BrianKusko]

Did you repaint your wall? It looks good. Clown Pieds are the best double recessive out there in my opinion. Especially low white. Agreed, if your main objective is to try and get an animal based on cheap pricing it's just gonna hurt you in the end.

[@BrianKusko]

Justin Kobylka Maybe I should finish waking up before I watch 🤦‍♂️

[@SpartanReptiles]

Amazing clutches Justin! The sky is the limit with what can be done with these stellar animals! As always, job well done! 👍

[@royalkreationz]

You are right about about buying what is right for your collection. Earlier this year, Justin took the time to chat about a project and my looking for multi gene pied girls and how I plan to use them. I got a 5 gene girl, she is great, and a perfect fit into my project. Now, time time to sandblast some Gene X!

[@marshallawmorphs3758]

Great video... I totally agree with what you said about overpaying. If someone has the vision and knows where they want to take their collection. You’re gonna pay what you need to pay! Can’t wait to check out your table at Tinley, see ya there!!!

[@nhlpa17]

"I'm trying to tell you how to OD" that made me chuckle. Great video. Beautiful snakes.

[@boabasement]

Fantastic work as always and so true on what one will pay for what they want.

[@anastasiaortolano890]

Justin...you are 100% right on your pricing talk. People want to make money... but they don't want to have to put it out. You put so much hard work into your snakes.... some of your projects taking YEARS to get where u wanna go with them...I hope you don't ever go down for those people that don't find your animals worth it.

[@Roux-AtlasCreation]

So, i never understood the hype about orange dream morphs untill I saw one in person at a show. Now I'm sold. You do a good job of showing that color on camera. But A LOT of media online doesn't capture it and do it justice.

[@filovesronnie]

i love that you explain such tiny details to look for when ID'ing genes!

[@foursspythonskevin820]

Thanks you hit the nail on the head! I often wondered that question "how much is too much"?!!!

[@nice2355]

I'll wave at you from across the aisle at Tinley...I couldn't even get close to you in March, too many people drawn in by the awesomeness! 😁🐍

[@larsnef8777]

Soo Soo UNBELIVEBALL PIEBALLS !!!.. WoooooW !!!!!!..

[@free2race15]

Wow! That was very educational. And beautiful snakes too. I loved the ... too many morph names to remember... beautiful bright orange pied.

[@royalreptiles3722]

Gorgeous animals as always! Love the insight portion at the end 100% agree hard to overpay for the right combo to plug into your projects. Can’t wait to see the Tinley preview videos! Oh, don’t forget to bring your auction item this time and then try to give away a free $500 gift card 😉 lol see ya there!

[@JonFealy]

Can’t wait for the genetics video!

[@BlitzkriegStaffords]

omg that smiley face :) head stamp!! 1:10

[@sprintbulls]

Who in their right mind could actually not like this video taking into consideration the amazing animals and overall message on the business and economics. Thank you Justin. From Dre over @ The Kundalini Serpent

[@genetic-S]

Brilliant vid as usual Justin thanks to YOU and Jase for your efforts!! Great baby clown pieds! Congrats.

[@RoyalCanvasExotics]

😱just when I thought I couldn't see anything crazier! Man, those are some awesome looking pieds!!🤩🤩🤩

[@JoeyWilliams89]

The Leo clown pied should be called the "chocolate chip cookie" lol that's exactly what it looks like

[@nickisuthers5946]

Beautiful animals. The orange on the OD L YB Pied is amazing!

[@moans33]

Amazing Pieds!!

[@HypedUpReptiles]

my only issue with big breeders that have spent like 8k for a clown in the past they are not that price now, just like a pastel is much cheaper now. Asking for a price from a breeder is the dirty part of the conversation. but the person needs to shop around like for best quality to price like for high white pied for 500$ at one table and 600$ high white pied at another table you might just have a breeder thinking high white pied is that higher price, generally its about the trait and quality of the animal. I would rather pay the $600 from someone i know that always has quality. so in that way you cant over pay for a animal. Quality in Quality OUT. But if someone is asking for a high price they could just be greedy. I find most breeder just dont want the conversation or to even consider to lower the price that they set. Its about value and quality and breeder just have an ego about quality and dont want to consider your personal value. But from a quality person that selling quality animals and you have both value and quality.

[@HBPExotics]

Awesome video Justin....and those pied leopard clowns were awesome...and very well said on purchasing snakes...can’t wait to see the next video on genetics...

[@littlehawk299]

Those oranges, wow

[@BillPerryBCPythons]

Stunning animals and yes can not wait to see you and your amazing animals at Tinley🐍 Absolutely spot on about the value of snakes.

[@anna-imal6632]

U really have good quality ball pythons!

[@lukemills8653]

Before i open any new JKR video i prepare myself mentally for the onslaught of awesomeness I am about to receive. Amazing animals and projects as usual - but I'm going to throw it out there and say for me the OD/YB combo regular pieds wow me more than the clown pied combos I've seen. The one thing i do love about the clown pieds though is the clown head and the extra potential clown brings in the long run. Can you pay too much for a snake? Depends. Breed for own personal very specific goals and collection? Its no rush.. you can wait a year for that male to drop in price so Its entirely down to how much money you want to spend on your hobby. Breed for mainly business? A potential purchase' worth is directly proportional to the snakes you already own. A £5000 male could be hugely overpriced or an absolute steal. So yeah i agree, its hard to overpay for the right snake. Realizing if it is actually the right snake is the hard part hahaha

[@Sofia-im9lf]

Gorgeous snakes as always and really good points there Justin!

[@distinctreptiles]

Great video! Thanks for telling us the pairings of your clutches.

[@richardyingling6972]

Beautiful snakes as always, plus some darn good advice. Lots of love, support, and respect from Arkansas.

[@tomasstrandgren7177]

Absolutely unreal pieds and a must have factor is off the roof

[@tttoooaaaddd]

So much to love! How about some Ultramel Pied updates. Thanks for sharing!!

[@SolidSerpents]

That was a good one. Nice vid today.

[@misskerry539]

Nice balls !!

[@76pault]

Everyone calls Ralph Davis the king. Your gonna take the throne. Awesome animals.

[@1981snakeboy]

Another fantastic video of some more stunning animals Justin,totally agree with your final thought on pricing.

[@user-zo3lv3hv7f]

Betiful morph!!👍

[@ravent3016]

Lovelovelove your pieds! Great breeding!

[@ballsbyjp8092]

Such amazing animals.... congrats on the odds this season

[@mrcrawlingstv]

I'm really glad you pointed on the fact that you personally like a 50/50 pied. For obvious reasons. I know that they are a popular gene at the time but like the spider at one time it is a very lucrative gene. Do you personally have a interest in the pied gene or are you doing it because they are in demand and you are in business to make money? I have loved the genes you combined and created in the past. It made you famous. Case in point. I really hope you continue to keep moving in directions that others aren't. You are a pioneer and I am inspired by you. I hope to share some ideas with you in the future and possibly work with you on the projects I would love to produce and keep the market moving forward as you have. Continue the great content. Sincerely, MrCrawlings

[@mrcrawlingstv]

Straight up the majority of people will not spend over $500. Some will stretch and go $700. Most will not. Unless they are other breeders making money on these animals.

[@powistonpiedpythons9286]

I have a normal Pied male from a pairing of one of your normal pieds to a 'normal' normal pied. His last large saddle is bright orange compared to the front 2/3rd's lol

[@ThePythonBurrow]

Wow!! Beautiful combos!!

[@douglasbeauchamp9161]

I agree with you on the correct snake is most always not over priced it maybe out of your budget but I will never complain just say I need to save up a bit more or find a way to get a few funds.

[@TheBaggedchrysler]

Phenomenal snakes bro

[@teamtik2.024]

Absolutely 👌. The animals worth exactly how much it's worth to u.👌

[@voxsonic1010]

So awesome pied! I Love Thanks

[@MorphMixologyReptiles]

incredible stuff as always! someday... someday...

[@chrisdunn4457]

I just appreciate you giving me that ODYB, pied, leopard, fire for 500.00! lol j\k!!! Dude, the price is what it is and you always work out a deal if you can! Thanks for such amazing snakes brother!!;)

[@bruce9897]

Awesome patterns

[@stevengonzales3853]

Straight heat!

[@blakehendricks860]

Are you sure that yb clown pied isn't also a leo. It has a very similar head as the leo yb clown het pied

[@jamesgregg18]

This hobby requires a lot of time and patience. If you buy a low quality animal then you've wasted that time and eventually you patience will run out. If you create an animal that excites you then, the price is worth it. Commit and buy the best thing you can afford.

[@goldenboyreptiles3307]

Those are some amazing clown pieds! I’d like to see what gene x would do to those orange dream yellow belly clown pieds 🤔

[@Murphys_Law9]

U got the best morphs

[@martinslvstad8043]

Cool ,thx for the tip on the leo pastel pied ,now im 100%

[@p.f.l.8553]

Super great ball python.. Justin, I have one question, can I keep ball pythons in a room with temperature of 73 degrees F (or around 23 degrees C)? Thank you for your answer...

[@ravent3016]

Money can equal Time in terms of getting a jump on your breeding plans. Sometimes it's essential; other times patience and persistence will have to be the means to reach a dream.

[@petehall4832]

Love thoes clown pieds

[@patrickcullen2422]

Awesome Combos love leopard

[@mikerichardson297]

Nice 🐍's...🔥👍🏿. Right it's all about the person and what your looking for. If the person really has to have it they will pay or have an idea of how much they are trying to pay. Good video.👍🏿

[@chrisgraham2837]

Jkr never fails to deliver, I’m saving hard as we speak Justin hope you can help me if I give you my budget and my goals then make a plan for my shipment 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@greghager330]

Here’s a question. How do you price your animals? For example regular yb from some guy down the street or a jkr yb? Where does low end start and high end begin? Sorry for the multiple questions.

[@batoulornitho]

mindblowing as usual !

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Good topic! I have been wondering about my Pastel Clown; whether he might have yellowbelly in him. If I can manage to get a good picture of his belly I'll send it to you to see what you think. He has some of that broken up blotchy pattern where his sides and belly meet. If so, that would add an extra dimension to my breeding plans that would make them even better! I love those first two Clown Pieds! Wish I had the money to buy one outright. :-( If I did it would have to be on a long-term payment plan. I agree with you that Pieds really look best when they have a good amount of pattern to balance out the white. I really like the orange head on that second one! I have never liked regular pieds all that much because their heads always look like normals, however these heads on yours are really pretty and the coloring is really rich! I hope you'll do some more videos showing how to recognize certain morphs in combos! That information is really helpful!

[@crystaltripi6775]

What fabulous little babes, and agree if you are a breeder than you reap what you sow, but it's kind of sad for people who dream of having an amazing snake just for the pleasure of looking and interacting with will always be just a picture since they don't view their animals as investments but family 😢 thank you ever so much for sharing and best wishes always..Hope your fabulous family is doing well..

[@reesespythons]

Wow!!!!!

[@JohnSmith-wn6br]

It seems like at that size they dnt strike that much

[@john_n_griffin]

Yeah you can overpay. Especially from breeders that think they took part in the conceiving of the eggs. I understand they have bills too. Electricity to run the thermostats, feeders, substrate, etc. But Christ, doesn't mean you have to price everything that people have to take out a 2nd mortgage.

[@PythonsUnlimited]

I'm here a year away from my first chance at Leo Clowns/Pastel Leo Clowns!!! And then u come out first thing with leopard pastel Clown Pied!?!?!?! Justin..... be honest here, what are the cheat codes??

[@willyzuniga4036]

Great video, amazing animals, and even better advice #justjkrthings

[@TheCharleseye]

From a pure business standpoint, the only way you can overpay for an animal is if you don't recoup the cost. If you're using high end snakes to breed high end snakes (and you're not feeding them beluga caviar), you're likely going to make your money back and then some.

[@bobsloan9930]

Where can we buy your snakes?

[@thiryfamilyballs7076]

I completely agree on not being able to overpay for that perfect snake. Shop with your eyes n don't look at the price tag. You're not going to be happy settling for an inferior animal

[@Hulley29]

I swear I think all these names are made up.......Yes, I'm showing my ignorance! :) Beautiful BPs, I cannot wait to add one to my home.

[@JPReptilesCanada]

FINALLY!!! I got first comment 😀 ok brb watching the vid haha, beautiful clown pieds correct me if I’m wrong one of those is mine haha

[@MrDavidcarp]

✊🏿🐍🐍🐍

[@bcreationz8618]

Cheap animals are usually unhealthy and/or a bad representation of the morph/snake. You get what you pay for!! That applies in to many ways to type out lol.

[@derekhaas6201]

can barely hear you

[@johnchase4408]

It's EASY to overpay for an animal. Only rich people that NEED to be the 1st to own & reproduce don't mind astronomical $$$$ for a snake that will be readily available for a fraction of the price in abother year. Ridiculous.

[@ivan2543]
