@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures u have any venomous snakes?

[@alphadraconian3483]

Hi Chris. My husband and I love you and all your videos. They are awesome and very informative. I personally love snakes and have had over 55 + snakes. Over the years back from the 1990s until now, different breeds of snakes, from my very first adorable cute baby ball named Ozzy back in 1991. To Ball and Burmese Pythons, Red Tail Boa Constrictors, also different breeds for King, Rat, Corn, Gardener Chinese Rainbow Gardens, so different kind of snake. And each is beautiful and cute in its special way. So now my husband wants to start to breed some of our new ball pythons for the first time. We just got 4 new beautiful Ball Pythons. 2 females and 2 males, all beautiful, gorgeous, and all so cute. A gorgeous male Banana super fire with Ruby red eyes named him Lestât. A beautiful female black-eyed leucitic super fire named her Lucy. A gorgeous cute male Super Pastel Enchi Ball Python male named him Lucifer. Also got one possibly a normal beautiful female Ball Python named her Wadjet. So my husband is watching you and your KZbin videos channel, so he’s in love with them all and also wants to breed them, the two males to the two females. To possibly get the super banana super fires and super fire black and blue-eyed ones etc. Also the breeding the super pastel Enchi to the regular one. Thank you so much for all the work making wonderful informative videos, any advice you can give him or us would be very much appreciated. 🥰❤️🐍❤️🐍❤️🐍❤️🐍❤️

[@amazinggrace5994]

You have helped me so much!!!!!! You are the reason my baby boy didn’t die you are the reason I found out I had a little boy snake you have really been a blessing!!!! My baby was way way way to small he was a few weeks old and smaller than a hatchling and still is but finding your videos I have began to assist feed him that went very good!!!! My little baby boy dingo is with me a lot of the time at least every other day he gets out of his enclosure and lays beside me while I watch videos he actually crawled into the arm of my robe and fell asleep he is so precious!!!! I adore my snake and I am always so happy to see such amazing snake breeders and owners your animals are top notch and always look so healthy and as happy as a snake can be lol I’d love to purchase my next snake from you I would love to have a Mojave pied ball python!!!

[@randystache78]

Hey Chris! I have just started watching your videos on best/worst genes, how to set up snakes, how to make money, etc… and I just realized you kind of disappeared from KZbin almost a year ago. Just want to let you know your videos helped a lot! I am about to have my first clutch hatch. Your advice has been the most helpful. I hope you understand how many people appreciate your advice, but also are concerned about your disappearance. Hope all is well! Much respect, Randy

Wonderful to see your snakes. Your Dinker project female is very beautiful as well as your Desert Ghost projects. Your comment about the scaleless head scales being thinner and feeling different than regular scales was interesting as well as a jumbled pattern.

You pretty much feed a rodent that is as thick as the thickest part of the snake, that's the max. I usually go a little smaller than that.

Actually I watched a video from NERD and he had super microscale ball pythons. They had no scales and also had no heat pits! The super scaleless heads have heat pits above their mouth. Who knows, maybe I have a microscale line! Still haven't made the super to prove it out yet.

[@sydneynicole8947]

i love your channel and your vids but I always get nervous when people breed spiders.

[@baum8981]

About the retics breeding project: Dav Kaufmann has an interview with a dwarf retic breeder who explains how the size of the babys is typically closer to the size of the mother and goes really into detail how to get smaller retics U might already know the video, but if not it might contain some good info for you as well

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I heard that a few years back that if you have a smaller female and a bigger male the babies will end up smaller.

[@VonBandyk9]

I always wonder, why doesn't chris breed- Fire pied x bee desert ghost Fire pied x lesser clown Banana enc clown x pied Pastel ench Desert ghost x pinn pied Pastel ench dg x clown Thoose are my dream pairings. I am 8 years away 😂. You have the ingredients but won't bake the cake. Why? Dg male x pastel calico female is going to be sooo nice! Congrats! Love your channel.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You'll end up with a lot of hets, Pied x DG gives all double hets, long project LOL

[@drikonrokon852]

Even though where I bought my male from says he's normal but I was wondering if you can help me determine what he really his and his genes

[@Caitio22]

I have a male fire yellow belly. Getting a female leopard pastel pinstripe. If I decide to breed them, is that a good mix?!

[@CatNip379]

What is your website by the way if you have a website to sell your snakes on I'd like to check them out please and thank you

[@jetman1963]

Awesome collection. Do carry insurance on your snakes? I've given it some thought.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

No, I think it would be hard to prove the value of each one, especially if they drop really fast. You'd have to update your policy every 6 months LOL

[@peggyjohnson4316]

Do u know what a yellowbelled snake is

[@DIDToddlers]

Have you ever had to deal with fungus on a snake? Like little bumps on the back? I stopped using coco and switch to paper and got a thermostat. Havent seen an improvement. I'm using tubs. Any and all advice welcomed.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

No, not enough humidity here for that, most of the time it's bone dry.

[@CatNip379]

Where do you do majority of your shopping when it comes to buying snakes cuz I'm in the market to buy my first snake and I just want to make sure I know where to go and get a good price and get a good breeding line if I get addicted like you say once you have one you can't stop LOL what is your recommendation when it comes to shopping for ball pythons and I really want a pied head ball python

[@preppergirl2866]

Chris, do snakes require a worming like mammals ? How do you know what to worm them for? What wormer can you use?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I've never wormed one.

[@mallorimoreno4250]

Do you recommend buying from dynasty reptiles?

[@AuntBsSouthernSerpents]

If you bred one of the triple hets to a normal piebald. Would that make the percentage go down to 66% albino and clown?

[@royaldesignpythonsorionjon720]

I actually like a all white belly cause I had a normal when I was a kid that had black in the belly so I like a all white belly but I wonder now what I actually had back then.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Yes, that's interesting.

[@royaldesignpythonsorionjon720]

I feel like Het Pied markets aren’t really different than a normals belly I’m still not really seeing the markers? is it the white flames? Or flaming from the bottom like camp fires Maybe if I had both in front of me.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

This video may help you out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2Oce2qNgtKfoLM

[@SADDLEBAGS6969]

Could you show the difference between asphalt an a normal? An why are the asphalts worth 400?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'm not an expert on the Asphalt, I can't tell the difference LOL. If you know for sure you have an Asphalt it could be worth that, most people will breed a Freeway to something and get snakes that look normal and could be Asphalt or Yellowbelly, those are pretty inexpensive.

[@VonBandyk9]

The double recessive is a long project. The hets you would create now,would be amazing and worth more than most visual clowns or pieds. Worst case is a normal double het. I can't find a normal double het clown pied, desert ghost pied Desert ghost clown Female for under 500.00. Male 400.00. You add an essential co dom for these projects like Fire,enchi,pastel, and you increase value by 2-3 xs. You seem too be a research junkie, like me. So I was just trying too pick your brain and see why. Covid-19 has me at home with way too much time on my hands. 😂. So I can ask the questions I think about instead of guessing.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good point!

[@TesseraCraft]

it was a busy day for me. so your corn snake looks to be a hypo morph, also thought your corn snake is a little thick, it is better to be thick then underweight.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I actually bought that corn snake as a 'blood red' but many people told me that is wrong. I don't know my corn snakes LOL

[@TesseraCraft]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures yeah bloodreds are one of the worst defined corn snake morphs. I would bet that bigred is a (hypo, or strawberry, or lava) + redfactor + masque. Masque is a dominate morph, so 100% or 50% of the offspring with be masque if just one parent is masque. Redfactor is one of many incomplete dominate morphs that make a corn snake more red. Corn snake breeders are not really sure how many redfactor genes there are because they all seem to act and look the same for he most part. The ball python genetic equivalent would be how the black pastel looks compared to the super. Hypo and strawberry are ellilic but strawberry is more red by a shade. they both are hypo time morphs. Lava is also a hypo type morph, but it is rare still, so it is far less likely you got one at random. Bloodred is a morph with selective breeding. they are bred to have vary small saddle borders so as adults you can not see them. The gene that your snake is missing is diffused. Defused hides away the pattern of the snake as it gets older. Big red is an adult, so if he had diffused his pattern would really be covered up. If Bigred had diffused you could safely call him a bloodred hypo corn snake. Diffused is also a recessive gene Corn snake breeders work alot with recessive genes, so I think it is funny that ball python breeders complain about getting supers, or recessives. if you ever want to do some corn snake videos i would be down for collaboration

[@user-xg8ij1hs3x]

So if you breed a het pied with het pied will you get a pied or do you have to have a pied?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

25% of the time you'll get a visual.

[@Venom_life]

Just bought a adult SH spotnose you think I should go codom male sh or clown combo male ?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Either way sounds great!

[@johncomeau66]

Are the albinos in your retics compatible or would u get double hets

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

They are compatible, I would get 'lavender albinos' with one copy of the lavender gene that's attached to the albino. If you breed two lavenders together you get whites, lavenders and purples.

[@atrioxreach1451]

I have a Question Can you Breed the Triple Hets even if they are “brothers” dont afect the babys???

[@SoCalChris]

It depends how many generations down in some cases. Probably would be okay, I wouldn't do it too much though or you may get some slugs and kinks

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You can inbreed with reptiles, it's not the same as other animals.

[@atrioxreach1451]
