In this video I'll show you the potential of the Kingpin ball python and some of the confusing terminology when it comes to Kingpin combos.
Enjoy!

I only have 1 9yr old female ball python and don't see myself getting into breeding but always fascinated in learning and watching your videos.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Thanks!

[@BrianGundy]

I don't know how you do it Chris. My brain is too old to remember all those names. Great video bud. Brian

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Thanks!

[@TesseraCraft]

this morph combo and the last one you did were some of the best looking ball pythons I have seen.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Yes, some good looking snakes in this one!

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I am attempting memorize all the names of the same snake. I am going to watch this again and take notes as a reference. The Kingpin does make some lovely combinations. I am going onto Morph Market to see how my learning experience can be applied. Great video!!!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Excellent!

[@andrewbell7619]

The kingpin is such a beautiful and majestic snake, love your videos.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

It really is!

[@boop_n_snoots_reptiles9391]

A lot of tounge twisters in this video...and you nailed it 👏👍

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Thanks 😅

[@kevinquach61]

Wow, plenty of info here 👏👍👍

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

More to come!

[@shanevsthewrld]

Love the vids Chris! Inspired me to begin breeding!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Go for it!

[@josephbattaglia8757]

great video chris. never disappoint. What software do you use to edit your videos

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I use Adobe Premiere Pro, I pay a monthly fee to use it.

[@AzaGuilli]

Nice! I'm hoping to get a kingpin this season, and this video just assured me that's a good choice. :)

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You should!

[@johnmontano3733]

Did you end up getting one?! I just pick one up yesterday there beautiful!

[@AzaGuilli]

@@johnmontano3733 not quite. I finally got nuclear pinstripe enchi. :)

[@jetman1963]

Just got a lock after pairing my Kingpin and Dragon Fly today.

Grats

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Nice!

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Thanks! first clutch of 8 due in 8 days! Getting excited

[@francesmarie73]

I thought for sure you would show the jigsaw. I love my fire jigsaw.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

👍

[@jonflannery8984]

What lesser x pinstripe pairings are you expecting clutches from this season? The 3 gene with Spider is beautiful reminds me of the potato cake dessert. Wonder it doesn’t have another sweet tooth moniker.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Actually I'm not sure I'm doing a Lesser x Pin this year, I'd have to check my notes. Next year my male Lesser Scaleless Head will be ready to go, looking forward to more Lesser combos!

[@jonflannery8984]

Chris Hardwick Lesser is and has been on my “short” list of what I call “staple” genes. I like that GHI Kingpin female subadult on MM, thats also 3 genes I don’t currently have in my collection but I’m not sure I want the GHI in a female quite yet. Desirable gene for sure, but then again what genes aren’t desirable when you don’t already have them haha.

[@shortclipper6352]

Hey chris I have a question if I breed at batman ball python to another batman will I get a hole bunch of baby batman pythons

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

No, here's what you'll get: www.worldofballpythons.com/wizard?male=42,382,1100&female=42,382,1100

[@jdeanschlosser77]

I got a Fire Lesser that I've been debating which direction to go for days! Pin, Mahogany, Bamboo, Pastel... Probably just do all of em

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good choice!

[@matthewnunez7596]

Im thinking about breeding my female pinstripe i don't know if i should go for a kingpin or something else. If anyone has suggestions plz tell me!

[@jeremygordy4728]

I have recently got a genetic strip banana balled python on the 24th of April and he still hadn't ate anything I have tryed everything I no to try I have offered him frozen thawed white mouse and allso offers him live white mouse . I have tryed putting him in smaller encloser and feed him he will not eat for me. I have him in a teriuem he has nice hide heating pad allso heat lamp. Do u have any ideas . He was eating frozen thawed when the breeder had him

[@boop_n_snoots_reptiles9391]

Ditch the lamp not needed under tank heater is all a bp needs they are not a basking snake,try feeding at night, move to a tub (if nothing else works as a pet most people want them visible) but had a pastave stop eating for 3 months in glass set up move him to a tub and he started eating next day and hasnt missed a meal sense..also check morph market forums for more tricks I may have missed...best of luck.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I've also found if you try to feed for too long you can stress your snake and it makes them stop eating as well, like if you chase them around with a rodent. I'd offer once a week for about 30 seconds and that's it, I move to the next snake. He could be up against the 1000 gram wall, sometimes they start at 600 grams.

[@scther4938]

Is it easy to take care off

Waiting on eggs from my kingpin paired with mojave fire

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Nice!

[@jeremygordy4728]

All my other snakes have ate 2 or 3 times compared to his 0 times in last 3 weeks he is 6 months old

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

[@camoconstrictors6374]

Next time you produce a female bamboo let me know. I'm in search of one and I like Bobby's bloodline thank you

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Will do!

[@hhhserpents5495]

I'm Waiting on clutch 3.... how is your egg bound mama

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

She is still stuck, the eggs are about 14 inches from the vent, tough spot.

[@hhhserpents5495]

Chris Hardwick are you starting to consider a vet visit?

[@jeremygordy4728]

I'm getting worried about him

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

🤣

[@sunshinevaldez3056]

can ball pythons eat anoles lizards?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'm not sure about that one.

[@680ecks]

That doesn't sound correct if you mate two visuals together you would get all visuals? 66% would be two 100% het not visual babys would be 66% chance of having the gene . I.E. if you mate two pies you gat all pie babys .

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's right, if you breed two 100% hets you'll get visuals and normal looking snakes, all the non visuals will be 66% het.
