How to choose breeding pairings in ball pythons.

[@jthinerman1184]

Bruh Matt you are so funny man😂😂 he’s out fuckin OOPS..😂😂

[@sheihokee4941]

0:50 jumpscare ! You got me :( haha

[@john_n_griffin]

I'm thinking about starting to breed ball pythons. And trying to learn by watching all your videos on everything from the financial startup to incubation tub setup to just everything. That way if it doesn't work, I have somebody to blame for it. Not really. Just watch your videos cuz you go in depth on all aspects of it. So thanks for all the info.

[@mikoajbielawny226]

Thanks Man !

[@tornandfrail]

I love watching you everyday 😊

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Very good advice!

[@Ochibason]

Thank you jump right in topic. Continue.

[@robsondesouza1982]

Thanks Matt, I really like the video...

[@treavonbrooks78tb]

Just getting started and wonder if mate a normal with a banana pythons what would I get

[@OlympusReptiles]

Normal and banana

[@joslinnick]

That Toffino looks a lot like an Ultramel.

[@fernandoalvarez3891]

Can you breed a mojave scaless head which is visual for het scaless to a regular ball python and get a scaless

[@ballpythons6776]

You'll get normals and scaleless heads....scaleless head gene is not a reccesive so you it cant be het for anything.

[@bvanwagner14]

Great explanations as always

[@justnikki1690]

What kind of snake is in the tank?

[@pieroduilio6141]

I have a pastel enchi pied male and a female normal het pied het clown what do you think would be a good match for each one thanks

[@OlympusReptiles]

Whatever you like, but definitely capitalize on the recessive genes

[@reptiliancain32]

In financial support of my reptile hobby and out of fun, thinking of pairing my boy who's a Clown Pastel Enchi (over a year and has kept his bright yellow color very well ) and my female Pastel Butter het Pied het Clown (she's not up to breeding weight yet)...Should I go for it? Long run goal will be Pastel Butter Enchi Clown Pieds ...

[@OlympusReptiles]

Ummm....... yes

[@reptiliancain32]

@@OlympusReptiles Thank for the inspiration of your videos🤙🏼

[@Bobbyholmesclubstep]

@@reptiliancain32 first generation offspring could yield a super pastel butter enchi clown which would be pretty sick (although I'm not a huge fan what pastel does to clowns) but the offspring would be low percentage het pied, so if you're really looking to produce pieds you should pair her to a het or visual pied and then breeding a visual female offspring to your male pastel enchi clown and working from there. Otherwise your odds of producing a visual pied off of a single het pied female would be low could take several generations. I'd buy a clown het pied male or pied het clown male to pair with that female and maybe pick up a banana enchi clown to pair with your current male. Those two projects running side by side would pay for themselves several times over with the first clutch from each and open up all kinds of cross over possibilities with your hold backs.

[@reptiliancain32]

@@Bobbyholmesclubstep That's funny as I've just now started considering that cz I also want to maybe add something like redstripe, leopard or OD to one or both but might have to just see what I produce from these guys first then use the money I make from them to do that+what you said😍😍 So excited either way tho cz its all so fascinating.. Also as much as I love normals my real goal was to not produce any as I feel there are already alot of them on the market and because of just how cheap they can be the people that typically get them don't seem to do too much research other then what a chain petstore tells em and/or sees them as a throw away pet. Not to say this is by any means always the case but definitely see more normals messed up on Craigslist then anything else.(sorry for the side rant) 😅

[@t.aexotics427]

Awesome video buddy...keep em coming 👍

"Go do the nasty😚"

[@karebearsanimalhouse7195]

How much would a baby female lesser banana go for?!

[@OlympusReptiles]

Not sure

[@drewisawesome1111]

Is it possible to find out what morph types are recessive or dominant/co-dominant without breeding them first or looking it up?

[@OlympusReptiles]

No, pretty much have to look it up

[@CatNip379]

Is that a carpet python and a fish tank?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Maybe? I don't know how old this video is. We have a small salt tank that housed an octopus. We have a carpet but not in a fish tank.

[@tornandfrail]

that didn't sound creepy at all right?

[@b3z3n14]

A new subscriber and new to the hobby, just watched your recessive video! i thought the same thing, male clown to some of my morphs. Enjoy your videos, very helpful! Have a good day, as for me its midnight here in the uk so off to bed lol. Great content thanks again!

[@SpartanReptiles]

Great explanation on picking your pairings, f#%* 😬 that slipped 😂😂

[@jayscrazzyobsessions4304]

What could i pair to a normal to not have normal babies

[@OlympusReptiles]

Any super or allelic combo.

[@jayscrazzyobsessions4304]

Olympus Reptiles would this be like a bel or a super Mojave ?

[@jajatus2002]

So what do you suggest I breed my pied albino possible het Leo male to? How do you know going rate of genes?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Compare on morph market.

[@Kayetana89]

thanks for the helpful video but if you want healthier snakes dont burn candles! As a candlemaker and business owner they are horrible to burn around reptiles and animals who cant get up and leave the room :( Obviously people will do what they want but just something to consider. But Love your collection! I hope to be there one day!

[@kevintramell3705]

I don’t want to be that guy but you put that last male snake with a different female

[@mattgambrel715]

All the males were getting moved as they have multiple breeding partners

Bother the way, that was me in other account

[@kevintramell3705]

Olympus Reptiles oh ok. Gotcha well I was just looking out haha

[@lowlifeexotics3070]

Excellent vlog Matt. What would you pair with a champagne female if you had a pastel enchi a vanilla leapard POS het pied and banana pied to choose from as possible mates?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Pastel enchi, because I like what both those do with champagne

[@lowlifeexotics3070]

@@OlympusReptiles Thanks Man!!

[@derriclee7811]

Super late comment but where would one look to see what your snake to could possibly be breeded with? I’m just curious because I have a pastel enchi banana butter male which I feel like would be more complicated with so many genes at play no?

[@OlympusReptiles]

That can breed with pretty much anything. But yes, more genes can make offspring identification hard

[@hughjasole673]

That's why I was excited to find my super pastel calico, not only because of the calibee I'm hoping to get breeding him to my spider but I'll finally have a chance to make a bumblebee which I've wanted to make ever since the spider ball python was called a spiderweb ball python back in the day.

[@jasonirelan1737]

What's that snake that's in that tank on the right?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Jungle jag carpet

[@jasonirelan1737]

Olympus Reptiles Thank you for telling me. Take care and God loves you.

[@geekedup5829]

How often should I feed my juvenile ball python

[@karebearsanimalhouse7195]

Your snake should be at least 1500 grams they say ... females anyway. And breeding season is from dec. To Jan. I think.... and they usually will lay their eggs around April-June with exceptions... I'm not sure how the males should weivh... if it's the same or not. Not an expert. Just some things I've heard.

[@karebearsanimalhouse7195]

Omg. Once a week to every ten days.

[@rossgraveley]

Matt what is the snake in the tank I always see it but i have never seen you say anything about it or i haven't seen any videos yet of it so far

[@OlympusReptiles]

Lots of videos on it. It is our Jungle jag carpet python!

[@christopherlogan4377]

1st off love this channel second I was wondering what all can I breed to albino ball pythons for some beautiful clutches?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Need to have at least het albino, it really helps.

[@LewiatanHPC]

Hi Matt, how come mystic potion (and purple passion as I see) is super combo since it consists from different genes?

[@OlympusReptiles]

The are allelic. So the genes connect at the allele and act like a super

[@LewiatanHPC]

@@OlympusReptiles Wow, that's nice. Is there any information about such genes? I looked at Phantom, Mojave and Mystic on WoB and there is no information about this :/ BTW. I'm also in love with Purple Passion/Mystic Potion. I have Mojave females and Phantom and Mystic males so hopefully I'll hit one of these in this season :) Also I'm not a fan of albinos, so I'm not huge fan of Toffino (I don't like red eyes), but Toffee on its own looks so fkng awesome. I'd like this to be my first recessive project, but for now they are hardly available (or even unavailable) in Europe.

[@OlympusReptiles]

I don't know where you can find a list we did a video on some of them though

[@LewiatanHPC]

@@OlympusReptiles Great, thanks :)

[@hahacoll]

Great info guys. As someone who is looking to get into breeding I’ve been stern on what I want to invest in and what I’m looking to produce. Purple passion x Mystic Potion are on the list once we’re in a bigger place

Have you been peeking at my breeding book mister?! Lol jk. I picked up a proven breeder mystic female a few months ago and I already had the Mojave male. A few more steady meals in the female and hopefully they'll be humping like scaly rabbits! *crosses fingers*. Good luck on y'all's odds!

[@robijakus6860]

when yomeone's talkin' bout genetics like it's something super complicated or hard to understand i always feel like that this someone's talking to either americans or some very stupid people... i mean over here we have to learn these things in what... 8th or 9th grade... i mean come the fuck on it's common knowledge and it's not that hard... in all actuality it's super fuckin' easy

[@OlympusReptiles]

For some it is difficult. For others it is easy. I personally didn't have any struggle with it. However, I suck at math. Also, you can take your little dig on Americans and kindly shove it directly up your ass. I don't go insulting whatever place your from. But fact is, we probably either beat your ass it saved it in WW2. Athletics we dominate (see Olympics). The world's economy turns on ours, as well as a few others. I could list point after point for the United States. So, please. Stop that shit.

[@katiemarcum3316]

Matt, great video as always! Where do you think the market is headed in terms of genes? Looking at this from a business stand point, you do the want to get a full clutch of pastels right. I love pastels they are great but you are the going to run your hobby on selling pastels alone. I guess what are the best genes to jump in to?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Honestly, anything recessive is good. And anything super/allelic

I thought something bad happened in the intro. You looked and sounded sad
