We GOT MORE EGGS. Will I get BIT by the protective mother?

[@toddb1765]

Love the chalkboard paint!!

[@MrMumble__]

Great video as always Matt & Camera Guy Curt. Congrats on the 3rd clutch of the year, can't wait to see what hatches!

[@nataleegwinn732]

Mother snake: yes!vacation before the demons come!

[@sunshinerae544]

Love your jokes 😎 always excited about eggs. Informative and fun, awesome dude, can't wait to see what you unveil. I saw some one on utube, the other day, when they got the eggs they separated them all and layed them in two rows on the same process you have done but it was cool to see how you do it.

[@OlympusReptiles]

you can, but no reason to seperate if it isn't needed. In fact, while rips are not common, an egg can be ripped. why take a risk if you don't have to?

[@samanthaward8486]

Congrats on your eggs can't wait to see the baby's love your show keep up the good work

[@HBPExotics]

Awesome video Matt...can’t wait to see some egg cutting videos..

[@marshallawmorphs3758]

That’s awesome, congratulations guys! Beautiful looking clutch and keep grinding

[@stephengaj8167]

Can you do a video about what kind of racks you should have when you are getting into breeding?

[@zekeharouff6983]

Thanks for the explanation on the q-tips. I don’t normally watch the clutch pulls, but I watched this one and the one after, but in backwards order and was wondering what you were doing. Maybe I should’ve went in order. Haha.

[@acsballpythons1607]

Yayyy eggs, I'm still waiting for some.....great video

[@adventureswithreptiles1659]

Congrats on the new clutch! 🙂🙂

[@DowntheRoad40]

Thanks for sharing guys, I think you should film all videos when y’all are tired because y’all are even funnier. Hey camera guy curt put a link to Jen channel in the description that way we can find it easier. As always thank y’all for sharing y’all hard work with us.

[@lordvillain3399]

Hey Matt I really like that homemade fridge incubator! Any chance you could direct me on plans or directions to build one?

[@OlympusReptiles]

We did a video on it

[@AdamandEveReptiles]

Good luck! These should be funky!

[@coryfalls]

Congrats on the clutch ya'll.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Some Clever tips! I think I saw the Calico in one of your other videos. He had a good amount of white sprinkling on him! I bet these babies will be pretty!

[@OlympusReptiles]

The female in this instance is the calico. But yes, I have a male too

[@Triggreptiles]

Congrats on the healthy clutch!

[@toddb1765]

Have you ever used mite stripes?

[@ericgritter4859]

Pretty sure its the air bubble so they dont drown in the amniotic fluid

[@Blockbwoy]

How do you let them breath? Do you put holes in the tub?

[@budyjames77]

"Pull it out for a second", that's what she said!! All joking aside congrats on the clutch and thanks for showing the Q-tip trick.

[@ballullmustang]

Really good method and like how you have some redundancy in the process

[@IrondoggReptiles]

Nice clutch congrats

[@charliewayne9827]

Nice clutch guys!

[@remar-6]

I like Brian barczyk he makes learning fun and spews ridiculous amounts of free knowledge. He’s also who got me into snakes. 🤷‍♂️

[@OlympusReptiles]

I do as well. He is also a genuinely nice person.

[@luislozada6768]

nice matt looking great

[@dodgydavy]

Nice healthy clutch

[@tylerkeuter8587]

Any for sale ?

[@kellymedhurst6529]

Congratulations

[@bellehollins]

None of my females will be ready to go until next season, but I get a little giddy thinking about it!

[@leetlebob8203]

Love you and your balls matt.

[@boxingboa]

Sweet clutch, you are so right we are in snake time not are time

[@sheldoncooper9000]

cool video, i just pulled my first clutch ever last week.. what was that mite treatment you used?

[@OlympusReptiles]

sheldon cooper just reptile spray off Amazon, it works well

[@bobmoston9514]

Y do you have to support them, what would happen if they was to lay flat

[@LewiatanHPC]

Hi guys! Got one question about incubating. I've read that water shouldn't be dripping on eggs. If you close tight incubation tubs, isn't there watter condensating on the lid, above eggs? Great video, as always ;)

[@OlympusReptiles]

Correct on water not dripping! That is why we increase overall humidity in the incubator to help combat that. If you do have condensation forming, slightly (like very slightly...folded up paper will do) elevate one end of the tub. This will let gravity be gravity and the water run to one side and not rain down.

[@LewiatanHPC]

I've read, that baking paper does well too, but the idea with lifting tub little bit is brilliant! Thanks mate!

[@DEAexotics]

great video and good luck on #3

[@clydet9169]

Hey how do ya know when a female is ready to mate? I have a small female and will they be in an angry mood during that time period! My first one ever! Great information as always!

[@lowlifeexotics3070]

Subscribed!

[@stephenanderson1358]

What is that mite treatment? I'm assuming it's safe since your spraying directly onto bedding, so I want to know all about it. I'm trying to get away from prevent a mite.

[@OlympusReptiles]

it is called reptile spray, can be found on amazon. I need to do a video on it and put in an affiliated link lol. It is made to spray directly on the reptile even.

[@charlesjeffery1155]

Can she take care of em herself (meaning the eggs) or do have to incubator? Like stay rapped around them for heat, n soak herself n her water bowl in take moisture back to the eggs for the right humidity? I've just always wondered why the incubator.

[@OlympusReptiles]

Charles Jeffery they can. Incubator I can have a higher success rate though. I can also get her back healthy faster and ready for next year.

[@charlesjeffery1155]

Olympus Reptiles oh okay

[@charlesjeffery1155]

What exactly do u mean with getting back healthier (remembering I'm new) do mean like they go off feed n lose weight? Or what heath problems should I look for? N Or Treat

[@davidcallahan4367]

What mite treatment do you use?

[@OlympusReptiles]

David Callahan it is called reptile spray.

[@josettetaylor5176]

The baby will drown if not embryo side up. When you candle them you can see the yolk center and the air bubble. BEAUTIFUL EGGS. I CANT WAIT UNTIL I DO THIS...I WILL CRY WHEN THEY HATCH. 😰😘🐍👍

[@theofficialironwoman994]

why do you remove the eggs from the mother ?

[@OlympusReptiles]

better incubation, better hatch rate, get the mother back eating quicker.

[@andrewcampdell8627]

can you talk about tiger gene pls and keep up the good work i am from jamaica

[@OlympusReptiles]

Unfortunately, I have exactly zero experience with tiger

[@hakkunuzimaki1686]

What would happen if you were to let the mother hold onto the eggs until they hatch?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Hakkun uzimaki she would incubate them. Maybe so good. But would be harder to get her ready for next season

[@lloydsaathoff]

Hey matt so i just got a new ball python i was hoping and wanted a female but it turned out to be a male but hes a pastel calico what would be a good gene to breed him with and could you do a video about calicos and other genes it goes wellwith and maby just a video with more information on the gene

[@lloydsaathoff]

Oh and congrats on the clutch cant wait to see the cutting

[@OlympusReptiles]

We have been working through a meet our snakes, do we probably will do that. Calico pastel....put to spider

[@michaelllewellyn5826]

Q tip? we call them ear buds

[@Ferla.Johnny]

Congrats guys , i have a few questions . 1 don't you wash the female before you put her in the new tub ? Fore the smell of the eggs? 2 what is the name off that product you use fore prevention mites treatment and where i can buy that ? And i also want to give you a tip 😀 i use a paper towel to tab gently on the head ,and then i can take her off the eggs without getting bit . Great channel guys

[@OlympusReptiles]

I honestly have never been bit removing. But if the paper towel works for some, sounds good! You can wash them off, but I have found that a full tub change accomplishes the same thing, and all have gone back on food without any strange incubating the water dish behavior. It is just called reptile spray. It can be found on amazon, and is made to spray on the substrate or even directly on the animal.

[@Ferla.Johnny]

Olympus Reptiles thanks fore the answer 👍 its good to now that it works by just taken a clean tub . I will try that for sure .and i will order that spray 👍 that with the paper towel was meant that I do it like that 😀😀 i was not meant to be ,that i now it better 😉👍 i learned a lot off you and your channel . Good luck with this season

[@OlympusReptiles]

feel free to use the paper towel i it works, I am not trying to rip it. I just haven't seen it, and I always believe if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@ryanfields9093]

Enemy of thw state right there lol.

[@johnkrous2425]

I like Bryan I'm subed

[@banningknudsen7439]

Do you ever let the mother incubate it herself I know with carpets people and let the snake incubator why not with the ball python.

[@OlympusReptiles]

Banning Knudsen see above.

[@evasark2957]

I want a snake so bad !

[@desmonddriggers6080]

A couple of those eggs were not upright.

[@OlympusReptiles]

Desmond Driggers they were all how they were laid. Exactly as they need to be. I bet that clutch will hatch 7 out of 7.

[@desmonddriggers6080]

Olympus Reptiles ino just noticed. But that would be great! Hope they all come out great

[@antoniodelgado8452]

Nice huevos!!! See what I did there?

[@LimeGreenGreenLimeLimeGreen]

Why don't you just leave the eggs with the snake until they hatch?

[@OlympusReptiles]

Brian Shrum higher hatch rate with completely controlled environment of an incubator. Alao, can get the mother back on food faster

[@superchop5647]

The only thing he had to do is lay them down flat on the same side, just a little to much

[@OlympusReptiles]

hmm. some say side doesn't matter. i try to keep orientated the same. My hatch rate of live healthy babies is pretty good (like over 90% consistently good....actually last two years are 100% and then 95%). I also cut. Basically, what i am saying is I do it the way i do because it works, and works very very well. It may not work the best for everyone. Maybe i even make it more difficult, but it works. If someone wants to just lay them flat, I would still brace them. keeps them from rolling. I will continue to do it the way I do it, and I imagine many others will follow. Some also won't, and that is ok as I am far from the end all be all of breeding. But I would certainly not say that what I do is a little much.

[@mitchzimmer5380]

eggs!!!
