Absolutely love these videos, and Chris does a fantastic job consolidating the information and being entertaining! That said, it always make me laugh when he says "This is probably one of the best combos I've ever seen" because he says it in every video haha!

[@PreacherBoyRonP]

That line looks like a zipper from a distance!

Awsome video brother i appreciate that you go back to single genes and show us how the single genes look. i kinda just jumped into watching snake videos and didnt have the best knowledge of single genes i was kinda understanding but your video here made everything really really clear thank you!!!

So last month I got my first ball python from a reptile show, and it was labelled as Desert Enchi. So I just took their word for it. I'd done a little research on balls, and it looked like it could be enchi, so that's what I figured he was. Then, last week, I posted a picture of him o . A reptile group on Facebook, and someone asked if he was Desert Ghost. I told him no, he was Desert enchi, and he said there was no way there was enchi in my snake. And after seeing this video I think he's right. I think he was mis-labelled, and is actually a desert ghost.

[@ballpythons6776]

Better deal!

[@gavinswinford2023]

Ugh. I’ve been dealing with my turkeys today. Had about 9 hatch and I’ve been setting up enclosures for them. They are Royal Palms. You should do a video all about Chocolate Ball Pythons!

[@raybrozzo7850]

It already is and the things that are coming along with it like the cryptic and monsoon and sunset gene is gonna set this hobby on 🔥....I cant wait to ser what everyine does with it....and desert ghost is gonna be crucial in highlighting it ALL

[@rebelreloading5265]

I picked up a Desert Ghost Spider today. He’s pastel; fluorescent yellow with green eyes. It’s nuts man. Got him for a seal on a trade for my pinstripe.

[@jackb1775]

In December 14, 15 there's an reptile expo in baton rouge Louisiana would be cool if you made it

[@OlWolf1011]

DG takes Champagne's bubbles - and turns 'em into runway lights! 😲

[@chuck1376]

Another great video Chris! Love the Desert Ghost! Keep up the great work!!

[@dawnmurphy403]

Yes, it is the next big thing I believe also. I have a pastel DG male and a four gene het DG female that I can’t wait to breed. Hoping to find a couple normal hets at Tinley too.

[@jesusmora2360]

Wait you live in Colorado and I just found this out wow I enjoy watching your videos shows us new reptile owners how to proper care pythons

[@brittanyjerkins12]

Hey buddy alot of people I know are heavy on dg morphs it's being used alot now allways evolving mutation creation all have had videos on this through out the week

[@Tradman47]

I would call him stitches 🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@jesseb4827]

Can you do an episode on the micro scale sometime? Would be great to watch an episode on it. Thanks!

[@dvlexotics2177]

I agree and kevin has some crazy super micro scale combos right now.

[@raybrozzo7850]

Miguel just hit 4 scaleless in one clutch...shits gettin CRAZY

[@ravenwolf8549]

I have a question about humidity: I live in Florida where the humidity is usually pretty high already. I've been reduced to using paper towels in my ball pythons tub, with just a little substrate over the hot spot and the humidity is at 75% (luckily he's in shed right now.) I've got a fan going in the room also and I downsized his water bowl. Other a dehumidifier, what else can I do?

[@CCReptiles]

Raven Wolf I have the same issue in south east Texas. I am going to use dry repti chip with no moisture used to expand the block. Or make sure is has completely dried if i do use water. I use a smaller water bowl and am at the point where I might have to poke some holes in the tubs. Other than that not sure what more to do... Hope this helps some.

[@ravenwolf8549]

Thank you for that! I've actually been drying the substrate in the oven (425° for 15 minutes on a baking tray) and it's just as tedious as it sounds!

[@CCReptiles]

You’re welcome! My daughters and I just started our own channel as we have just started in the hobby as well and wanted to chronicle from the beginning. You’re welcome to watch all the mistakes we’re gonna make!! 😂

[@dogecat8692]

could you do blade next? I think its really underappreciated

[@kronicsoldier]

jeez it seems lots of the balls Ive purchased recently are het Desert Ghost just waiting to breed them out to find out.

[@jackb1775]

Dang I was close only 3 have viewed it so far

[@DjAD0NIS]

Have you ever seen an Albino Desert Ghost?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'll have to check that out!

[@chuck1376]

What are your thoughts on keeping two ball pythons in the same 40 gallon enclosure?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'd keep them separate.

[@DonKeller_dkexotics]

Oh how right you were. DG everything is nuts

[@jbctvworld488]

What about spotnose desert ghost?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That sounds awesome!

[@jbctvworld488]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures you have to do that project let me know if you have

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I don't have Spotnose in my collection, maybe someday!

[@taylorlorraine8955]

Early

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Nice!

[@GameOfMorphs]

yes sir!!

[@Boosky]

I made a song about chickens

[@Boosky]

Serious note, another great video. I enjoyed your video on taming and it has helped me with my new BP.

[@pathefinder59]

Ok how many rats per week are you feeding??

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I usually feed once a week, but during breeding season I'll increase with the females until they fast. And my big retic will eat maybe 10-15 big rats in a week, then I won't feed her for a month LOL

[@johnmercado9420]

Had to pause just to say this.. Pleas don't use a wooden table as a background for that pastel DG ever again. Get a black cloth or like a bed sheet solid color. Anyways back to the show. Good stuff tho man i dig your content

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I was reviewing the video and I thought the same thing LOL

[@jetman1963]

Chris I PM'd you on IG about a mini Bobby. I don't think you got it.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

No, I only do KZbin comments. I'm actually selling at the Denver Repticon first on October 19-20, 2019. After that I'll sell online on Morphmarket.

[@jetman1963]

Well. I am really close to you. 50 miles I would like one of Bobbies boys to get in the bamboo project but don’t want to go to repticon to get him. Could I come to you for a bamboo. I really like Bobby.
