The Very First Clown Pied Ball Python EVER

[@epicwolf3]

How cool to get to tour a place that helped get you started in the hobby! That really black axanthic was awesome and that 1991 has a couple years on me! That's crazy to think a snake is older than oneself.

[@kaylahall1219]

Oi, you are jus' a wee Ba-by! 😉 Since I have to much room to patronize being 32. 😂

[@familyjewels9854]

Crazy just got a shipment of tsk shipment supplies this week with more boxes coming today. This was the main reason I really wanted to be with you guys. I would love to have seen that collection in person.

[@BrianKusko]

Family Jewels didn't even know we were going there until the last minute. You should have just crashed the party like that Reachout Reptiles guy did.

Awesome video 👍👍👍 That TSK spider was mind blowing!!! As well as the black TSK

[@steventolley9243]

Many people forget that TSK we’re the originators of the Mojave Ball Python. And their Axanthic line is superb. Another great vlog.

[@fuzznutzz3080]

Years ago TSK put out a ball python breeder video. I originally purchased it on vhs. Their video along with VPI ball python breeding guide really helped me early on. Sure the videos are now outdated as far as morphs are concerned. But the husbandry and care info still applies. Amazing guide for new keepers that are thinking about getting into breeding. They did eventually release it on DVD. Not sure if you can still get it. If you can, I highly recommend it for new breeders. For the most part I've followed their advice, tweaked it to fit my needs. It would be great to see more of these videos featuring pioneers of the industry. Maybe Dave and Tracy, Pete, and Ralph.

Wow talk about a clean operation, TSK are an amazing company. I picked up at least 5 ideas just from this video. I also decided to try and produce an axanthic killer bee, that thing is (killer)!

Wow those Axanthic are spectacular. And I agree TSK is the best Axanthic. Thanks for getting her on camera again. More women in reptiles exposure... I love it!

[@officeemail7818]

You should do a video that answers the hard questions people wonder, like do they ever get out for full stretch, how can they really sell all those babies, the money side of the business and the true life of most of these animals. I know not many say it but I know they wonder.

[@BrianKusko]

I am more than willing to make that video answering these questions. If you care to expand on those questions in more detail please do. That way I can make a video that answers them in the most complete and inclusive context possible.

[@BrianKusko]

Maybe expand a bit on your stance. I.e., do you believe that these animals should A) not be sold at all or B) not be kept in captivity.

[@officeemail7818]

Brian Kusko thank you for that prompt and honest reply. First let me say I’m ok with responsible captivity, I guess I’m just torn about rack systems as a way of life, will those gorgeous snakes get outside time? A chance to move naturally at full length? what happens to unsold babies? Are snake breeders making money I believe not as much as some think, bad buyers, those types of things maybe just a video that clears up the behind the scenes questions.

[@davidkelly1298]

[@johnknouse8846]

Sorry to hear that

[@LindaPoorman]

That black one is gorgeous, but I don't think I will ever understand the naming of the kinds. Pied I get because of PieBald horses, but a lot of snake designs just don't fit in my head. I have minor brain damage and some stuff just doesn't make sense. I am never being critical, I really don't understand

[@gearsmags4415]

I just received a 2020 hatchling and the breeder included a card of it’s last feeding which was a live hopper mouse . Is there any frozen thawed option that I could go to since I can’t find hopper mice in my area?? Someone anyone please help I’m new to this!!

What does xanthic mean?

[@BrianKusko]

Axanthism is a mutation that interferes with an animal's ability to produce yellow pigment.
