The 'Lemonblast' Ball Python

[@JosuesExotics]

I didn’t know there could be so many different morphs of ball pythons. Thanks for the info!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You bet!

[@paganfox165]

I have a shy little lemon blast male named topaz, and he is the cutest

[@josephvaughan7693]

Hey Chris you should do a video on ball python egg progression I’ve looked it up a bunch and it’s hard to find any info on the development of the embryo eventually becoming a hatchling like there’s plenty of breeding timelines from pairing all the way up to laying and very detailed and lots of sources but not anything about egg development.

[@josephvaughan7693]

Mike wilbanks did a video on cutting eggs early he cut a small v into the eggs on day 44 and they seemed fully developed other than that I can’t find much info on egg development

[@ryanearl1081]

There is very little info throughout the 60 days. Would be nice to see a video with weekly updates on how the eggs progress. Do the eggs ever get hard like a chicken egg before it starts to dimple towards the end. And end with an egg cutting!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

If you keep the humidity up the eggs don't change much on the outside, and the shells get real thick to where you can't even candle them. You'd need a catscan or something LOL

[@TheMRvojta]

I just got mine baby lemonblast ball python today and desert ghost , the breeder showed me what it would look like if I mixed them and it was true, thank you so much what a great video about the morhps!!

[@reptisisters8265]

We are going to get into ball pythons soon and we are so excited at the ReptiSisters about it! That’s a gorgeous scale baby.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's awesome!

[@eatgreedy1384]

I like smoking and watching your videos over and over I appreciate all the info just ordered a lemon blast and you ensured me that I made a great decision thanks for the great info 👌

[@Snakesok]

great video. Thanks for the info !

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You bet!

[@charleyhendersonj.r.6297]

Thanks again Chris cool python..you could do a lot with that snake...good video keep up the excellent work ...I really appreciate the way you put out the info..

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Thanks 👍

[@EbornikExotics]

Love the lemonblasts! Just got some hatching!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Nice!

Can’t wait to get that Enchi Lemonblast Het Desert Ghost

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

He's an awesome snake!

[@tonyaction5284]

Awesome education!!!!

[@Bentadeo]

I have a little baby lemon blast her original name is catilina but I always call her shnek because how she’s so derpy

[@Jan-qy6ff]

I have a banana lemon blast named Neo, I love him..... he's so friendly just like Bobby, I think I lucked out when I got him.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's awesome!

Thanks Chris you rock

I've got a woma bamboo lemonblast. Looking to breed it with my pastel vanilla bamboo when she gets big enough.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Awesome!

[@joecostic9348]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures you were my main inspiration for getting into bamboos. Once I found out they were in the BEL it was a no brainer.

[@claudiodiaz9921]

Lemonblast. Combos make great ligthan yellow snakes i like that colors thanks Chris×👍👍

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You bet!

Kingpin is like clown! Now we know what made or is close to what made clown gene :D Mojave pin pastel also like clown...

I have a pinstripe spider and a pastel what paint jobs will I get

[@lewislighting7776]

I have a killerblast spotnose pinstripe looks very simular but has the spotnose and pinstripe down its back ive always wondered what to breed her with i dont know how close to the lemonblast she would be but shes so simular

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Nice!

[@alanprado1049]

I’m looking to get my first 5 tier rack system. What’s the best substrate to use and how do you control the humidity with the substrate you use?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

This is the best substrate, it's Prococo coconut husk chip. Here's an Amazon affiliate link: amzn.to/3eAMOMS I actually buy it by the pallet and use it for all my snakes. To keep the humidity perfect it should be damp underneath and dry on top, if it's too wet it will mold a little, if it's too dry it won't stay put and will fluff up and get all over the place. You'll be able to dial it in with a little practice. It smells great too!

[@ChiChisWorld]

Some of these morphs have such little difference I don't know why name it something else. It's all confusing.

[@alexdimarco4044]

Coral Glow Lemonblast Owner here, hes such a vibrant yellow with lighter markings. I am wondering can I mate him with a Candino? Would like to get some bright oranges out of it

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You can but you'd get all hets, half het for Candy and half het for Albino. Then you'd have to breed those back to get the visuals, I bet they would look great!

[@dylanjwicklund92]

I have a bamboo lemonblast poss HRA 66% poss het hypo

[@gentchnelson2632]

I love lemon blasts, hopefully the fam will be ok with me having a snake one day

[@lenamari6657]

Make sure the snake is okay with you having a family.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Good luck!

[@emma-ln5wv]

I just bought a “lemon blast” and it has the pinstripe pattern and it’s light pink all around with a cream orange belly. It doesn’t look like most lemon blasts that I’ve seen, does this sound like a lemon blast to u?

[@brandongray169]

I am considering buying this one.. crazy you suggest it

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Awesome!

[@hhhserpents5495]

I'm thinking of how many snakes I want LOL

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Me too! I need a warehouse LOL

[@summitserpents4193]

Hi again Chris, I have a leopard albino and I'm here in Pueblo if you want to work leopard into your collection. I'd be open to loaning him to you to sire next year.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Wow! I'll have to think about that one!

[@Lil5ive55]

This is a super random question but is there any way I could send you a picture of my new ball python I wanna know what morph she is because she’s supposed to be a lemon blast but they come in so many different patterns it’s hard to tell lol

[@KaijuLover85]

Today i picked up a lemon blast female het pied for $150! Going to grow her up and plug to my pastel banana het pied!

[@jazzymullin2217]

How did it go

[@brentfurion3866]

This might be a silly question but what is a Lori Ball Phython? I know Lori is Brian Barczyk’s wife, just wondering if snake breeders use the term “Lori” as a legitimate morph or does Brian Barczyk only uses that term for a specific morph?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I actually saw that first video where she was interested in holding back for breeding and she marked the tub with her name 'Lori' and I guess the name stuck LOL. Looks close to a Red Axanthic to me, it would be interesting to see if it's compatible.

[@KazehareRaiden]

My distant cousin has a spider lemonblast

[@johncomeau66]

Hey Chris great video like always. I was wondering if you could send me a link of the label maker u use?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I don't think they make it anymore, here's an affiliate link to a new open box label maker on ebay, this is the one I have: tinyurl.com/yabvsmce

[@MrMoemoney7411]

I have a lemon blast clown, doesn't look anything like that tho

[@TesseraCraft]

are their any rodents that are prolific like mice and rats, but are in between in size?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Not really...

Nice!

[@JobForARetic]

Hey Chris, I really love your content, but I feel the need to point out a mistake you’ve made a few times when describing genetics. For example, when you explained that the different lines of pastel are different genes that are compatible and located on the same allele, and if a super were produced using the two lines it would have one of each gene, then that super would produce split half and half offspring of two different types of pastel. But it’s not true, in reality the intensity of expression in the pastel gene is a line bred polygenetic trait, meaning that both the low intensity and high intensity pastels have the same gene for pastel, but thousands, possibly millions of genes in the background influence the intensity of expression. Think of Bobby for example, he is an outstanding example of a bamboo, but he has the same exact bamboo gene as any other bamboo, it’s all the unknown genes working together in the background that make Bobby a high intensity bamboo and allow him to pass on his high intensity expression to his offspring. If you bred Bobby to a lackluster low expression bamboo, you would produce a super bamboo, you would not produce a super bamboo with 1 Bobby line bamboo allele and 1 normal line bamboo allele.

[@JobForARetic]

Thank You!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'm not sure about that, I always thought it was similar to Orange Dream. Check out this snake, it's a super with one copy of a high intensity OD and a low intensity OD. www.morphmarket.com/us/c/reptiles/pythons/ball-pythons/247975

[@JobForARetic]

When do I start and stop putting my males with my females?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I start mid October and cycle the males through for about 3-4 months.
