High quality vs. low quality ball pythons

[@katiemathias4514]

I dig the honesty in your videos. Keep it up.

[@fyrepower6505]

When trying to decide if a multi gene animal has quality genes in there, just ask to see pictures of the parents. That can help determine if they are high expression/high quality individual genes or combos. Some breeders might seem to get annoyed this but if taking a couple pics is big problem, you might not want to spend your money with them anyway, no matter how "quality" their animal is.

[@newgenexo7580]

I went from occasional to daily, watching your videos! Keep it up with the quality and interesting content 👍

[@anna-flatmountainpythons9395]

Thank you for making this. As we are just starting a breeding program, I had questions about quality. Now I know, or at least have a better idea. 💕🐍

Just bought a pastel het hypo ball python and she is an amazing snake!!I've had Amazon basin tree boas..I've had albino burmese...I've had them all...and my girl I just got yesterday is,as amazing as any snake I've owned...even the venomous ones I owned years back!!!Never thought a ball python woukd get the blood pumping again!!!

Just now watching this and I have a bumble bee myself! It was really cool to hear you talk about it some 😊

[@evilspongebob6233]

I have a low quality enchi ball python but idc I still love him :)

[@russellsmith1786]

I recently got my first and it’s a bamboo, has Bobby always looked like that exactly? What would be a d Russo you would pair him with?

[@rcjer6473]

Awesome video bro. I really enjoy watching your channel. Learning new things everyday.

[@betsysingh-anand3228]

Meh. Ruby Sue was "low quality" but she was a good girl and had a good life.

[@solitario7713]

I guess I have a low quality pastel, but lily is such a good snake that I dont really care. I treat her as if she is the only pastel on earth. That's my baby

[@robertmoore1123]

Great information 👍. I'm playing catch up . We had a storm roll through and about got completely flooded out another hour of rain I would have been swimming with a dog a wife and geckos lol. We live about a hundred yards from a creeck and it left it's banks and had water about 2 foot from coming in . Then it receded fast . Luck luck lol. Have a great day

[@ssjordan34]

Glad you made these distinctions! This is very helpful as I look to get into buying and breeding.

[@fwiffo]

You were talking about ultramel the other day, I'm surprised you haven't gotten into that since you work with bamboo and pied. There are lots of lucrative 2-gene ultramel combos. Ultramel visuals (and lower-end combos) are very reasonable. You could get a couple on the side for not much dough. Just a few crosses to your other lines each year and you'll have lots of hets floating around in your collection pretty quickly.

[@KERRIESCARINGNURSERY]

If I got a bamboo I would want one just like Bobby cause his markings are so cool it looks like his spine is ripped and another type of morph is trying to come out of him lol 😝 love Bobby!!

[@Gottalovecarpetpythons]

Guess it is like us humans to some degree, get the good looking genes or you dont.

Attractiveness is subjective, so best to kill that thought. Someone is out there for everyone.

Yeah lol always another ugly person for ya out there ;)

[@umbraluna499]

I wonder what would happen if you mixed a pinstripe with a clown? Would you get a thin pattern clown, or a thick pattern pinstripe?

[@terryyoung5001]

I saw you at the show today in Denver! Wanted to say hi but didn’t

[@telsclark]

You are good I would of probably fanned out hes made me so obsessed with snakes!

[@KERRIESCARINGNURSERY]

I have a question Why does the morphs that have yellow or orange in them fade as they get older besides Albinos because they seem to keep the yellow?

[@axelcaquias436]

Could you do a head 2 head on similar morph combos like in butter/lesser black pastel/ cinnamon or on the different lines of a given morph like on axanthics or pastel

[@suzystone244]

Bobby is like .... Dude ... kinda scoping out the joint. I see dust bunnies moving ....🤔🤣❤🤗

[@GraysReptiles]

Another great video with describing qualities that you can look for.

[@rebelreloading5265]

This video is one of a kind ! Thanks Chris !

[@michaelscaggs144]

Chris me and a buddy are getting into the pied project we’re getting a visual pied and a het pied so we want to get a albino pied and get a female het albino and het pied will we be getting anything worth the front money investment? Also may want to get a banana het pied and a het pied hope to hit some banana pied. How could we hit a super banana pied?

My boy is on live feed right now and I got him a rat even though he is in shed, just curious as to whether or not he'd eat it. He didn't, so right now I've got a pet rat until after he sheds. 🤣 But it's a whole lot better than having to toss a thawed rat.

[@DasChristoff]

The low end desert ghost almost looks enchi. I wonder if breeders misidentify genes and without a true system in place to authenticate every single gene, mistakes and/or ignorance prevails. ‘This was a very informative video!!

[@ssjordan34]

I just thought of a question: What other snake species (besides corn snakes; I'm thinking exotic) would you consider breeding other than what you have now?

[@telsclark]

Should bread hognoses

[@DevilDog00]

How many snakes do you have in your collection ?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I think I'm up to about 116 right now LOL

You are my only mentor ... I really like you... You are genuinely awesome...

[@juniorlemke5484]

Bro! You're into arachnids as well?! Where are those videos?!

[@MC-nm7kr]

Only thing I want to add is that pied patterns have no effect on the offspring. You can buy a high white or a high pattern and both will give you random amounts of white/pattern.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good to know!

[@MC-nm7kr]

Is it a bad idea to handle a female that's been mating right now? Or is it ok? I'm holding my female who's been locked up more than a few times already... our body heat is 92 degrees so I'm thinking long term handeling could kill the sperm?

Holding them should be fine.

How can we get a Bobby Jr. from you?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I should have more for sale mid to late summer. I should be producing some really neat combos this year, I'm pairing my Bamboo Calico with a Pastel Pinstripe. Should get combos of all four genes on that one. Also making a lot of straight Bamboos if I can get my females to lay eggs.

Nice!

[@strictlyscales2380]

Only a couple of disagreements with this vid #1 Try not to compare baby desert ghosts to adults because babies tend to be much more yellow than adults. This is because they go through a color change which is what gives them their ghostly look. #2 the Same can be said for spiders as they gain more white as they grow. #3 Most clowns are good quality. Both of the clowns you compared are good quality but for most which one is highest quality comes down to opinion. For example I like when my clowns are busy patterned but someone else might like more reduced clowns. Other than that Great vid as always!!

[@CatNip379]

I think bamboo with blackhead it would be interesting

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That would be interesting!

[@SADDLEBAGS6969]

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Some of the lower quality snakes do not look like what they are supposed to represent, especially the Enchi you used as an example.

Low white pieds are not low quality.

Usually they are less expensive, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I really like the low white pieds. You can make them low white if you add Enchi.
