BIG Chocolate gene discovery - Changed all my breeding plans!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Chocolate and Spotnose are allelic? CRAZY!

[@beachbumxoticsadamh3360]

Whoa! Mind blown! Thanks for sharing this Justin and thanks for the shout out. You continue to prove why you are one of the great in this industry. Appreciate all the time and effort you put back into this for all of us.

[@spencercurtis86]

I love how he shares this info, saving people a bunch of time and heart break. Such a class act!

[@BrianKusko]

Very interesting! Always appreciate the new information coming out of JKR.

[@DarisHolt]

My boy‼️

[@BrianKusko]

L.D. MUSIC I've got a couple pounds in the Uber too 😎

[@DarisHolt]

Brian Kusko hahaha respect ‼️

[@MrMITCHELL959]

THANK YOU JUSTIN, FOR ADVANCING THE INDUSTRY AND LETTING THE REST OF US KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DISCOVERING!

[@tacticalveterinarian]

Ohhhh myyy!!! Craziest thing is that I mentioned that "possibility" about 3 years ago. Spotnose is weird for sure, I've got some other "possible" Spotnose gene combos that act really strange. However, my clutch numbers aren't anywhere near yours, so I can't publicly say anything. Thank you for confirming and SHARING your clutches!

[@cameronleeleatherworks254]

Really compelling to find out abt new allelic genes. Also feel that its worth mentioning that i absolutely loved the musical score used for this one.

[@royalbusinessreptiles1275]

Justin, we missed your videos. Please, keep them coming!!

[@BigDawgDG]

And this is why I watch you and Tony on the Tube, always something to learn in this hobby. Thanks for sharing with us! ✌

[@fairytalepythons195]

Thank you for passing this info on, this is the kind of openness the community needs. It’s amazing how long exclusive breeding has been focused on and how we are still learning new quirks of these genes ☺️

[@garden.state.pythons]

You guys need to do more video's, its really amazing the footprint you've put in this industry. Always hatching beautiful and next level Ball Python combos. Keep setting that bar. You guys rock!!!!!!!!

[@paytonmacdonald]

Yes, more videos please!!!!

[@SmallTownXotics]

[@scaleenvy3522]

What an awesome thing to find out! Thanks for sharing this discovery! The babies are beautiful ❤️

[@1softkiss]

Gosh I sure do LOVE those Dark Knights one of the best looking Ball Pythons to date Justin !! :) I've always been crazy about the deep dark colors in all species of snakes but especially the Ball Pythons. Great information for others breeders to take into consideration and cool of you to share these results with others !! :)

[@thomasmiller6799]

So glad you are putting videos out again justin and that is amazing you just now figured out chocolate and spot nose are aleilich!!! There really is still so much to do and learn about ball python's. Great work!!!!

[@thefacelessvaper2833]

Such a beautiful and amazing chocolate collection 😍

[@mattiem3367]

Incredible video bro! Loved how you mapped it all out for us! Proud of you for coming out with another video so soon ;)

[@SalmonBoa420]

When JKR post new content im ready to be inspired and see real creativity at work.

[@SpartanReptiles]

Appreciate you sharing this new information concerning Spotnose and Chocolate. Looks like I’ll be holding onto the rest of my Chocolates

[@thefacelessvaper2833]

[@dorianstarks4348]

This just keeps getting better and better!

[@michaelthomas115]

Awesome to know. Love informative videos ESPECIALLY when it comes to reptiles ball pythons in general. Crazy to see how much smaller the twins are compared to their siblings.

[@TheScalesFamilyReptiles]

That’s insane! Thanks for all the info Justin

[@theballpythonproject6598]

Bitter Sweet! Thanks for sharing. This makes looking for that Spotnose Dg het hypo (or double visual) even more crucial for my chocolate plans!

[@SmilingJimsConstrictors]

Great info man. Thanks for sharing what you find out. I know there's a lot of people that appreciate it.

[@tracywilliams5779]

I love your videos, you give great information to try and help people to understand how to properly care for their ball python. Thanks so much. And keep up the good work.

[@BentleyJax-River]

Super informative! This is the kind of video I really love. You explain the whole genetic make up. Thanks again for another awesome video!

[@musiccityballs5449]

Justin thank you for you beautiful work and sharing it with all of us.

[@convictedconstrictors574]

Crazy you posted this video 10 min after I started reading the Ball Street Journal, never read it before so figured id start reading them.

[@miguela.alvarez7284]

You are one of the master breeder. Amazing and intresting as usual. I dont keep reptiles anymore but I love it so thanks for sharing and lots of success to you all..

[@SalG262]

Amazing animals as always! Always on the cutting edge

[@jonflannery8984]

Thanks for the interesting and informative content! Always going to be the quality level to aspire towards. Certainly agree allelic combos are more than the sum of their parts.

[@BuyestFan]

Hat off to Justin! :)

[@816morphs2]

Wow that dark night has really held his good looks!! 🤩

[@StanWatt.]

Loving everything especially the fangs lol

[@tomasstrandgren7177]

Wealth of knowledge and shearing all this information is very grand.

[@HBPExotics]

Awesome video Justin...like the chocolate gene

[@michaelshurak4609]

Thank you very much for sharing and now I know where I’m pushing my disco inferno vanilla cream clown project,, already have spotnose and now need to get some chocolate lol

[@glennjustus9839]

So much fun, every time I watch this...

[@nathanbrickwood6444]

Shows the importance of documenting everything and keeping good records

[@banginbzproduction6189]

Good info! Thanks for the footage playa!

[@Whatcamo1]

Well that was unexpected awesome info guess that also changes breeding plans a little this season 😀

[@ballsoffthewallreptiles.1831]

Awesome ball's my man, Wow talk about cutting edge work with ball pythons. Justin you are the MAN! Keep producing the best of the best. Love from Cali.

[@KidCole88]

Great discovery. Appreciate the insight on the project, Justin.

[@loriw2661]

[@pdsreptiles5648]

🤯🤯 good information justin!

[@Mercilesswon]

I promise this will be discussed tomorrow on reptiles unplugged! Lol

[@lazywolfreptiles]

Great information, Justin. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@HectorGarcia-kd8gq]

Love the video jkr and now I know what to take my projects out with Arroyo Gene

[@luotingkun]

Great discovery! When I heard the first clutch and tony said "at least no normal clowns" I started doubting are chocolate and spotnose allelic genes... That also explains why sn and chocolate change clown so much, it is double homozygous animal right there.

[@genetic-S]

great info thanks justin! love those tiny ultrapieds!!

[@verdeslam44]

The Dark knight reminds me of carpet pythons or what you'd get if a carpet hybridized with a ball. He's just incredible.

[@mainsqueezereptiles6264]

Lol, now Chocolate $$$$$$ just went up.

[@BuyestFan]

Why?

[@BuyestFan]

Just because of dark knights? So you can't get spotnose and chocolate combo without both parents having chocolate?

[@franwi1722]

This is really interesting..... Changes a few things and raises a lot of questions

[@douglasbeauchamp9161]

who would have thunk lol interesting and some great info for future breeding

[@veronicasponchia5838]

My dream snake is that pumpkin emoj pied

Amazing looking snakes J.

[@hhhserpents5495]

That is mind blowing

[@nhlpa17]

Good information to know. Thank you !

[@todmichael5972]

Was just craving chocolate!

[@wendelin0307]

Wow, who would have thought that!😱

[@AcadiaBallPythons]

what!!!!! WOW

[@willowehrich6207]

I actually kinda suspected something like this because sable has a similar head wobble to Spotnose and such. And of course sable and chocolate are allelic too. It was just a hunch tho so it's super interesting that it was true!

[@willowehrich6207]

@Ball Gazer I have a lot of theories on wobble morphs. And at the end of the day all I'm saying is I had a hunch that proved to be true.

[@willowehrich6207]

@Ball Gazer Also, I didn't go into detail of all the research and thought I've put into this exact subject. Please don't assume you know the back story of others theories and thoughts.

[@willowehrich6207]

@Ball Gazer I don't actually think that chocolate and spider are allelic. I think that the wobble morphs are separated into two or more complexes that happen to have wobbling in common. Of course there is a lot more research and breeding trials needed to gain the full picture.

[@richcorbett6491]

Hello isent Tony’s snake also pied thanks

[@LanceKirkman]

Fun!

[@miguela.alvarez7284]

It would be cool if you can prove that and also the size is recurring and a smaller easier to keep ball python.. js.

[@harmony7839]

💖 tiny babies..

[@stevemunn367]

Great snakes as always Justin 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@zabrienmccall8016]

Albino Dark Knight?🤔 white knight ?

[@ballsandbeardsreptiles4992]

Very interesting! 🧐

[@DnAReptilia]

Now...will Raven do the same? I know it is kinda the same as chocolate ...but is it?

[@DnAReptilia]

@@KINOVAReptiles guess i gotta get a male spotnose then an give it a shot!

[@JamesM527]

Can the ultramel pied twins ever grow into normal sized ball pythons? If anyone can answer it would be appreciated.

[@JamesM527]

@@KINOVAReptiles Thanks for the response!

[@quirijnsiersma88]

But this would mean you cant make a super chocolate spotnose clown?

[@twicedamc]

Quick question. Would you try to feed the ultramel pied twin, who skipped shed?

[@NeoCardina]

did you give the snake to your sister? lol

[@NeoCardina]

@@KINOVAReptiles c'est la vie lol. Love your videos and your crew.

[@johncomeau66]

Do the twins usually end up getting to the same size as regular ball python or do they stay some what smaller

[@johnknouse8846]

All those people who spent tons of money trying for a shortcut to the dark knight are in tears right now! No shortcuts!

[@bronxballpythons9300]

👏🐍👍 great video

[@kyleraymond3049]

What morph was the very first snake in this video in the intro?

[@kyleraymond3049]

@@KINOVAReptiles awesome thanks for getting back to me. Such an amazing looking snake!😍 also do you ever have any of them for sale?

[@tashalachacha]

Wow,, I don't know if I'd keep snakes, but they truly are beautiful to look at. Can they grow into man eating size?🇺🇲🙏🤔🇺🇲

[@KINOVAReptiles]

No, they only get 3-5 feet long
