The Potential of the 'Chocolate' Ball Python!

[@bluelinemorphs]

Honestly I’ve learned so much about morphs just due to videos like this - people hate on these videos but they really help. Keep it going chris !

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I think a lot of people complained when I made a whole bunch of morph videos all in a row, now I try to mix things up so it's not so much of one thing back to back day after day.

[@bluelinemorphs]

Chris Hardwick it’s your channel dude - they don’t have to watch it. Again you have enough videos where they can bounce around to different style videos ! I love them- I’ve been able to recognize different morphs because of your videos - keep it going brada

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I like the input, helps me to improve my channel.

[@bluelinemorphs]

Chris Hardwick no worries man - keep it going - it you have time check out my little channel lol

[@chesterswingjr9796]

Chris Hardwick - As a hobbyist looking to start breeding this coming year, I appreciate your morph videos, (as well as the others). Morph Market helps, but it’s better to watch someone who’s already been there, done that!! You go into greater depths of what each pairing’s could possibly produce. F••k the haters!!! Keep the great morph videos coming!!!

[@gosavetheuniverse6170]

Everytime I clock out of work I see these videos pop up on the top of the page when I get on KZbin. Love these videos! 😃 Thank you Chris!

[@jamesd556]

These morph highlight vids are my favorite of ur vids.

[@TheStressD]

The encyclopedia of Ball Pythons KZbin channel. Another great video mate, keep up the good work.!

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's what I've been trying to do, encyclopedia style LOL

[@TheStressD]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Keep it up mate, no one else is doing this and you have carved out your little niche.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's the idea, on KZbin they say 'different is better than better' LOL

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I love learning the potential of the morphs you present. Thank you for your information about African Soft Furs. I have seen them for sale and they are very expensive. Since they are slow breeders the expense is understandable.

[@w.charleyhendersonjr5049]

Like your videos... I've been watching your videos since I got my first ball python 5 yr old female on February 6th so I'm just learning how to take care of her... thanks again for your help ...I'm really getting hooked on ball pythons

[@Snakesok]

great video !

[@fiercetoaster270]

Lol I own the last snake pictured. She's even more gorgeous now!

[@josephirvan707]

can you do the raven Chris? nice video btw

[@anna-flatmountainpythons9395]

I have a really nice looking chocolate orange dream female I am hoping to pair with our orange dream pinstripe male next year. Thank you for showcasing this beautiful morph. :)

[@broadwayblueshirts6160]

My favorite one is the very first one you showed, love that one. And I like the banana ball python better then the banana chocolate ball python. Cool video!

[@taeviansworldofreptiles3828]

I really like that first one you showed

[@mararabb1]

The second one you show looks a lot like my chocolate. I love her.

[@bandsreptiliachris9274]

In my opinion ASF,s are good to have on hand. Only as last resorts tho. They work well on assist feeding cause there heads are small.

[@danielfoy3185]

Wow never been this early and definitely on one that I'm interested in working with

[@ruthless9609]

I know in PA you can't transport ASF's across state line. I got mine from a local breeder that I've bought at least 30 BP's from. I had a fire vanilla clown hatchling from him that just refused to eat for a month and a half. I actually had to take it back to him to see if we could get it to eat. He pulled out an ASF, unthawed it and it ate immediately. We worked out a deal on a male and two female ASF's. I will say if you can find someone who has them and is willing to sell some, you will pay a premium. They reproduce very slow and from my experience have small litters. For me mice reproduce quick but it seems like I was always having them eat their babies, so i stopped breeding mice. Rats take longer but are much better mothers. ASF's are somewhere in between, hence why they are so expensive. Good luck finding them..I definitely recommend any breeder trying ASF's but only use them for problem eaters due to their rarity.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

For mice I find that only young adult mice will eat their offspring, they usually figure it out after two litters. My mice can have up to 16 babies at a time so it's worth it, probably the next best thing to ASF.

[@ruthless9609]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures yeah when it comes to litter size mice are great. I have this one rat that has 14-16 pups everytime, then I have another that will have 3-4 only. But yeah I made the switch from mice to ASF. Thanks for always giving feedback... I really appreciate it

[@jimtheyid]

I've got a GHI black pastel,She's absolutely beautiful

[@snakecraftgamez2463]

Mine look like chocolate but just a black background no brown hint of color. Is it still a chocolate?

[@fry863]

i really like the asf's...they're mean so i don't mind feeding them off as much. that said, i'm not breeding yet, and after watching your videos i've decided i wont feed them to hatchlings i intend to sell once i get to that point

[@albertwing8820]

so i was told the other day that black pastel and cinnamon are the same.. i dont want to argue with the person... is this true can you clear tis up

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Not sure about that, I never compared them side by side.

[@colbertdavid3796]

Hi chris, what else I can feed ball pythons a part from rats or mice? And if there's way that we could use to make a snake eat a lot of food, and what is the best way that I should use my ball pythons will grow faster if they are hatchlings?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

You can feed African Soft Furred rats, hamsters, or baby chickens LOL

[@joshhi6431]

Did you do axanthic already? If not can you do all three of them or the main gene?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I did that one about a year and a half ago, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHjaeX2jZ5lmlac

[@reptilenature]

On world of ball pythons genetic wizard, what does the chocolate BELL LINE mean? And difference

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

That's a specific line of Chocolate.

[@reptilenature]

Chris Hardwick there’s also a BHB line, I’m trying to figure what my chocolate ball is because mine has some black and white coloring all around on the belly and some white shade scales on the bottom, and what exactly did people breed to make the chocolate? Thanks for the feedback

[@stevenblattermann7272]

Chris is this because I said do banana chocolate cus of mine lol ur awesome

[@tylersmith3700]

Hi Chris

[@colin2436]

Woot

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

FIRST

[@johncomeau66]

I absolutely love these morph specials. What is the best substrate to use when females are about to lay eggs ?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I keep the coconut husk in there but I clear out a spot in the back of the tub. They lay right on the plastic bottom right over the hot spot.
