[@jimmyjckjones]

Number 1... is number 1.. indeed. Brilliant.

[@jeffegan9388]

Wow everyone of those snakes is inspiring. I cannot wait to see what you do in 2024. I’m new to balls I have 6 and will try breeding next year? My plan is to get a male sunset and make some cool double and triple hets and raise those up and breed back. My ultimate goal is a ultramel sunset hypo desert ghost clown I know really hard and will take a long time but nothing worth wile is quick and easy.

[@KINOVAReptiles]

That sounds great! It will be extremely rewarding to you personally to make those goal snakes!

[@1Down5UpOfficial]

That fire black pastel redstripe yb dg clown is absolutely INSANE to me 🔥😭 man I would love to see that animal in person 😳

[@patrickalilbitofeverything5181]

Freaking amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@seanbaros-qe1rp]

It's toss up between #10 and #8!! Have a nice day and a Happy New Year!!

[@cameroncameruci]

Whats your opinion on the sable morph?

[@michaelsesler1158]

for new participants, have you done a video explaining and highlighting what each of these "pieces" are? some are more obvious than others, but some are a little difficult for a newer viewer to understand

[@hopeemch8511]

Read the very interesting article in my latest New Yorker magazine for 2024, but there was only one picture of snakes so here I am to see more.

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Thanks for coming!

[@carlbenedict6742]

[@Theaddman]

[@youssefhafez4726]

❤❤❤❤

[@louv4437]

Clearly they are all awesome! But those coral glows! Damn! And number 6!? And wait! All of them lol

[@David-iv6je]

I'm a geneticist with my well-funded biomedical research ab. I'm curious about these. Mostly recessive traits I assume, though you say some dominants. Semi-dominants? So the combinations are pretty rare one you get more than a couple genes in play. A quad recessive would be 1 in 256 from two all-hets. So what do you do with those not expressing desirable traits? Or those carrying no helpful alleles? Do you sequence for molecular detection and then use PCR to genotype? And as somebody who works in invertebrate model organisms, do you mutagenize and screen for new traits? Curious about genome size (in megabases). Or maybe just recommend a good book. :)

[@KINOVAReptiles]

For the past 30-ish years, the industry has developed by visual identification of morphs (traits) when possible. Recessive traits are tracked through lineage and proven out through breeding in cases where whether or not an animal carried the trait was unknown. The vast majority of mutations we work with are incomplete dominant, but there are about a dozen or so recessive traits that are prevalent in the industry. Only a few quad recessive animals have been made within the past few years. Multi-recessives are becoming more common as we start breeding homozygous individuals. Within the past 2-3 years, PCR testing for some mutations has become available which has reduced the need to prove traits out via breeding to a degree. This is a new development though and not available for all traits.

[@David-iv6je]

@@KINOVAReptiles Love it! Thank you! As a professional geneticist I really respect what you folks are doing!

[@virgletomerlin5378]

They got the wow factor.

[@mauricewalker3877]

BEST MOST EXSPENCIVE COLLECTION IN THE WORLD 🌎 🐍 Justin’s killing it👍🏾👌🏾👏🏾

[@brianhobbs772]

Wow! How could anybody even choose #1 it’s next to impossible! this ball python genetic game has jumped way further then I could have ever anticipated Justin is the number one pick of all python breeders that’s my pick😂

[@michebling]

When i see your snakes i always ask myself...is this real life? Insane specimens!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

Haha. Thank you

[@TheNDDawson]

nothing like trying to market DG after the info came out on it and half the folks are getting out of it. LMAO On the flip, AMAZING creations as always!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

DGs have been selling more than before after the announcement for us - ppl understand that is only a minor change when it comes to making them

[@matt687]

You mean the info that it's a simple recessive after all? All the initial concern about the possibility of it being polygenic was for nothing.

[@TheNDDawson]

simple recessive? So like albino, pied, clown, etc? I dont think so. While not hard for some to understand, its not what id call "simple recessive" @@matt687

[@johnflynn3824]

Does brown ones with the brown chocolate spots that are all white what are those called and that one in your hand it's all brown the dark chocolate is really beautiful

[@jaredstafford5565]

All i can say is WOW !! I would love to have one but i can't afford one . Absolutely beautiful.......

[@brendanzuger3754]

Special clown is the best stuff

[@slitheryserpents]

💚💜💜💜💜💚

[@giddygumkins9453]

I appreciate so much that you are looking to make snakes that are gorgeous adults. It may help future animals be valued and well treated. Which makes it good for the snakes, not merely fun to watch!

[@KINOVAReptiles]

That’s true!

[@roscop.coldchain4738]

I was disappointed with the number 1 spot. I mean ik its subjective but 1 could have been in the 10 spot and 10 could have been number 1 and i would have been fine with that. I just think D.G is overrated. I would love to see a video with the best stand alone gene and what animals would top that list!?!

[@dannil9878]

Didn’t he have a company by different name before?

[@KINOVAReptiles]

We rebranded from JKR to KINOVA in 2021. It's the same company :)

[@jor.3954]

[@joshjacob1530]

Release them and make all the wild ones look cool so people can find them as pets

[@selene_7191]

[@thatguy1733]

We need to talk, I think I’m pregnant.
