I love how you take the time to walk us through the difference morphs using morph market! Love you're videos!!

[@KimChi-iy7jd]

I especially love the chalico orange dream combination! Thank you for showing this!

[@raredog939]

I was at a large scale breeders facility yesterday looking at a Champagne 100% HET Orange Dream. Super bright thick orange stripe down the center of the back head to tail tip. I took pictures, wish I could show you. Really impressive :-)

[@djowen23]

Good job on educating your viewers great video keep them coming👍👍

[@jalaineshults9634]

Good evening! Got here on time tonight lol. Your videos are always so informative but also interesting.

[@VictorLopez-qz2yx]

You never disappoint! Love your video

[@robertmoore1123]

Great video . Od is definitely a great gene to mix with other genes. The old with the spider combos are sick .

[@bluezs111]

For whatever reason I thought snakes were slimy until I held my first. It was love at first hold! Love the videos, keep them coming!!

[@CCReptiles]

Fantastic morph with clown and pied. Ozzy Boyd posted a crazy super Od yellowbelly leopard Enchi I believe. Unbelievable!!! Great video!!

[@SADDLEBAGS6969]

The orange dream spotnose looks like an enchi 🤔

[@GoingYooper]

Working on my first super OD's right now. Happens to be Cin od Het Gstripe x cham od mojave fire. keeping everything crossed. Great video.

[@MitchellGWhitehead]

Sweet video brother

[@fadhilramadhan2846]

Hello Chris I'm from Indonesia that there's no content creator like you about combo morph and I love content like this Chris about Ball Python

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'm glad you like my channel! I'm trying to be different LOL

[@MrRondeezzee]

Shhhhhhh that super OD fire spider yellowbelly is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GameOfMorphs]

Wow the OD / Calico is very nice, add spider to that and wow.. cant wait to pair my lesser calico an od spider!! man you are getting me so excited about some of the morphs i can produce.. you should take a look at my most recent snake video i did, i think i named it Snake Tour or something..

[@longrod3841]

I know it’s a old video but I’ve watched you in preparation for my first snake that I got a few months ago! I plan on breeding and I got an orange dream vanilla from milbradt and I love him (:

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Nice! Stay tuned for tomorrows video, I think you'll like it!

[@centuian]

watching your videos is making me want tot get into this hobby lol . would you please do beginner videos lol thanks

[@OlWolf1011]

Scaley FLOWERS! Too high-price for me, though! Awesome!

[@RoSSoRoSKy]

Love the orange dream. Thank you for the great content. I am wondering would pairing two HI OD would still produce HI OD ?

[@melteague117]

I really like how the Hidden Gene Woma looks a lot like the spider gene.

[@steveriso3802]

Enchi goes amazing with the spider orange dream.

[@georgewilliamsiii4677]

My Orange Dream is so cool. I just got her. She has a pattern and colors of an african sunset. Deep black with dark orange to yellow to white. Beautiful. Ball python encyclopedia hardwickitta lol

[@Gabrielaalvarezdogmom]

I want an orange dream so bad. Especially pastel orange dream

[@richcorbett6491]

Hey guys maybe you should and I missed it but I was wondering what that would look like with the Bobby Thanks for sharing

[@savagecrawlersllc1471]

Superfly orange dream is insane

[@MrRondeezzee]

Question bro, when you bbn pair your male and female together to see if they lock? And if they dont lock on the first try how long after do you separate them and try again?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I pair for three days every 2-3 weeks. I usually don't see the lock.

[@sistina5852]

Can you do a video on the special morph?

[@lukeumstattd2413]

Slightly off topic but, please do more about Woma. I just got a Woma female and am looking to get a leopard male so I can go for the Ravenclaw! Super impressive combo in my opinion.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

👍😎✌

[@axelcaquias436]

Im actually working with a dream bee het axanthic wondering how it would look in visual form 😆

[@rayfamilyreptiles417]

Hey Chris, I actually have an Orange dream Spider. I’m not positive she’s a yellowbelly she looks extremely similar to the one shown! I know you talk about the spider morph head wobble a bit and when I look at my ball I don’t ever see it unless she or stretched out trying to escape her enclosure. Would this be considered that neurological defect you talk about?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'd say most times you can hardly notice the head wobble at all.

[@Alex-e6b2f]

Can you do the blade gene please!?

[@sharissab.6415]

Hey Chris I was wondering if you have an email address for questions we have ? Or do we just ask everything on here ?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I just do comments here.

[@sharissab.6415]

Ok so my question is, I have a Female ball python baby 224grams. She eats like a champ. I am getting into breeding and I am scared to over feed. She eats every 4-6 days. Is that too much ? She would eat every 4 days but I feel like it’s too much but I am not sure since bp’s like to go off of feed sometimes... should I feed her when she takes it ?? How often do you feed your baby’s 200-350grams ?

[@francesmarie73]

I have 2 unrelated pastel orange dreams. Another year and they should be ready to breed. Mine being European or something in my unrelated pair give them a vibrant tone. I also have a pastel yellow belly I want to breed my male pastel od to. Also have a female calico to breed to. I am thinking making od het ultramel too. As I said if you want a snake then just find out what we need to do and I can certainly hook you up with a great od combo that should be worth way more than import fees.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Sounds like an awesome project!

[@johncomeau66]

Hi Chris I was wondering if my snakes don’t eat the rat I had heated for them is it ok to put the rat in the fridge over night and re heat the next day to try again?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Most people only try once and toss them out.

[@johncomeau66]

Chris Hardwick so not a good idea to reheat the next day ?

[@MrRondeezzee]

What's good bro

[@karliwellman7388]

hi Chris i was wondering if there was a way i could send you some pics of my ball python to maybe help me identify what morth he is and someone said he looked like a pastel orange dream

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You can upload a photo on the web and post a link here in the comments section and I'll take a look.

[@karliwellman7388]

i have people saying he possibly have enchi or yellow belly or both too

[@DakotaHammer]

Hey Chris, I’ve previously commented about going to the Denver repticon (which is still true). I was wondering what kind of adult females I could get for around 300$ if any

[@DakotaHammer]

Todd m ok thanks. I have an adult male I got from a friend (citrus pastel yb) and I’ve been looking for some codoms to breed him to but don’t know pieces too well. Hopefully everything works out and I can start breeding soon!

[@benjaminblankenship980]

Here I am 2 years later buying orange dreams for $100.

[@vincentthekeeper2163]

As far as I can tell the Hi Intensity Orange Dream is just a line thing based on quality and line breeding like you said. It doesn't necessarily breed true.

[@GameOfMorphs]

Od!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

YES!

[@cen_tah_ree7092]

Man Chris u need to invest in some base morphs from NERD if ur willing to spend 1500 on one snake u can buy 1k worth of decent supers from them . Cheap

[@christhacker1813]

How is the self cleaning tubs going

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I gave up LOL

[@joet3682]

Do you freehandle your tarantula at all or is he just a show pet?
