The 7 Albinos (Ball Pythons)

[@nathanestrada5967]

Lavender albinos are gonna be the number 1 albino in my opinion. Great vid as always Chris!

[@sertank735]

I like candinos better because they’re more compatible. I love lavender too tho.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I think so too!

Hi Chris. Albinos started the morph craze... H ERE WE GO💚

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Actually albinos were first, but I'm pretty sure it was the pied that really started the craze!

Appreciate your Vids Chris, one of my favorite females in my collection is one of my Candino's she is amazing, has a really nice contrast and has a remarkable head stamp that looks like a yellow crown on her head

Enjoyed this video mate. How are the retics doing?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

They are both finally eating really good, but I don't think Lucy is going to lay this year. I'll try again this fall.

[@earnestdickerson4576]

I love the albino's. And as i've researched, the ball python's are the most docile of all of them. just wish they'd get up to 7 or 8 feet max. Love ur videos. VERY informative.

So hey I have a question if I sent u a pic of my snake could u tell me wat kinda python she is

[@Mercedes_may]

Lavender albino for the win 💜💛🤍

[@ridiculousreptiles7045]

You didn't mention the Rainbow Albino. It's Not compatible with any other of the Albino genes, Albino/ Toffee/ Candy or Lavender. I produced 2 (Rainbow Enchi poss Het Hypo & Rainbow Super Enchi poss Het Hypo) in the first clutch I ever produced, back in 2018. Not too many breeders working with the Rainbow gene.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I just realized that about an hour ago, I was kicking myself for leaving that one out LOL

[@ridiculousreptiles7045]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures that's understandable, not many breeders working with the gene which is why it's still unknown to MANY.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I've known about it for a long time, I just spaced it out LOL

What do we think about lavender albino leopards I’m in the process of making them within 2-3 years

[@UwU-xk5cx]

One question, does anyone know if the albino straints that have darker eyes (lav albino for example) have better vision too?

[@fernandoalvarez3891]

So I have a question I know you cant breed albino to get caramel albino and get a recessive they will be het but if you breed albino to candy or toffee you dont need 2 of the same is that right I have 2 albino possible candino there still too young to know for sure dad is candino mom is albino

I definitely want some lavander albinos

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

They are awesome!

Chris Hardwick think about dg lavander

[@Masterscumal]

What is the .best morph to breed a !ucy to in your opinion

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Depends on what genes are in it, you can make a BEL a lot of different ways.

[@VMHealth]

Awesome vid Chris, I hope you staying healthy 🙂 since this is about albinos, I was wondering what a good price for a normal albino, there is one at my local pet store for 400$ is that a good price? 🤔

[@bambimae2925]

Morph market has them around $200

[@VMHealth]

Good price if I do say so myself 😉. But it is fully grown so......

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I usually sell them at shows for $250, but it depends on the market. If the supply dries up you can increase the prices, also depends on your area. Some people will pay more at a local show instead of putting the snake through shipping.

[@rosales1616]

What is the best morph to pair with a female normal? Just bought a normal female (3months old) and am researching on what to pair her with when she is grown up and ready. Again just beginning the snake hobby, so be gentle! lol

[@angiehardiman2324]

How can Enchi be id in a coral glow combo?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Usually the pattern is reduced and as adults it won't have many freckles at all.

Hi Chris, I've got a 6 mo old male albino that I'm looking to pair up with a couple females. I've just purchased an ARS rack system with just a few levels and now ready to start looking for a couple of girls. What would you recommend for females, any help will be appreciated. I'm just starting out so looking for any help i can get. Thank you! Love your videos, binge watching them lately, lol.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'd probably do straight albino females or albino pied /albino het pied females.

Is it better to get a long tank or a tall tank for a ball python

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

A long tank is better

[@musicallyinclined5991]

Can you do a video on black lace back or green pastel

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'll put it on the list!

[@isaacestates637]

Hey Chris, do you think a snakes appetite can be passed down? For instance if parents are picky eaters the hatchlings will grow to be picky as well?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I think it's gene dependent, seems like Bamboos have an aggressive appetite, same with my double het Albino Pieds. Also seems like a lot of visual pieds are super picky.

Culling is the secret to never having any kinks.

[@alexanderwiggin846]

I'm a noob what's culling ?

[@toddstrange9184]

@@alexanderwiggin846 To get rid of or not breed

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Most good breeders will cull (kill) any with major defects. It's pretty tough to do though.

[@alexanderwiggin846]

Thanks

[@sertank735]

There are both good and bad things associated with breeding. It’s definitely one of the worst.

[@Miastarot]

Kinking - defects in spine

[@madeiranmarvel2116]

Im hoping to hit a Pastel MonaMel (copyright on that name for Monarch Caramel... lol)... Monarchs are fantastic and as soon as Justin releases some of his combos many others will get on board. Most people prefer to jump on bandwagons instead of holding the reins.

Yes, you can see my sold snakes on Morphmarket. Right now I feel like I'm just getting started, I'll make more as I invest in higher end snakes in the coming years!

[@k-5215]

Hey Chris, I've been watching you for years and I just had an idea. I know you wanted to start naming everything unisex names, but since banana is a sex linked gene I feel like it would be cool to name all the males male names and if you ever eventually get a female you could name her a female name. I feel like it would be a lot more enjoyable naming a future female if you ever get one.... Just an idea, great video as always.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good idea!
