I think they're sitting in the throne together. They both have their own special abilities with other morphs. We have both and my I eye typically goes to the Hypos first. But I still love the contrast the DG can bring.
Couldn’t agree more, friends! Both are amazing and do amazing things!
As someone who’s been working hypo for years now, I’m so glad to see it finally getting the respect it deserves.
Hypo has definitely been getting recognition recently and we love it too!
My opinion... DG still king for sure!! And I saw the biggest decline in DG over the testing debacle! Anyone that was selling DG and especially hets saw a huge decline in sales and prices dropped dramatically at that time. That is what uncertainty does.
Hypo is still amazing and both have their place, they are like PB and j! Go great together! But DG being the PB because it's so much better by the spoonful by itself 😅
Great video 👌
I agree with this 100%. Over saturation had nothing to do with the "fall off the cliff" pricing of DG. The genetic testing "snafu" saying DG wasn't a "true" recessive led to an immediate stop to almost all DG sales. It scared a TON of people away from DG making everyone think you can breed a DG to a DG and potentially not get a DG in the pairing. Also only 1 person has ever called Hypo a "white trash" gene that I know of. I agree that Hypo wasn't worked by many people but there are guys like Mike Cano at Fabled Creations have been making ground breaking Hypo combos for many many years. Both projects are well worth their market pricing. Both projects make the long term goal of having ball pythons retain their brilliant colors throughout their life span possible. But for me DG>Hypo.
They are both must-haves! I’m using them both as cornerstones to my projects. I think it depends on what the goal of the project is, but overall, I like DG most. I REALLY like high contrast combos with dark darks and bright colors.
When so many people seemed to lose their minds over the issues with DG tests, I became even more of a fan. I want DG in everything!
Love DG! I really love that contrast too and I can’t wait to make some Sunset DG combos! Thank you for watching friend! We appreciate you!
The polymorphism theory most definitely hurt it. I hope people realize a het is a het like any other.
Hypo is definitely King! But I love em both together. Dg hypo project is by far my favorite project in the hobby.
Hypo is amazing and I love how well DG and Hypo work together! Thank you for watching btw!
Hypo the world!!! I have both, but I love hypo in everything!
Thank you friends!! We love both too and are stoked for both genes!
Hypo makes dark morphs way brighter
It's a must have in any dark combo makes them pop so much
Love the content
Completely agree! Love it!
Works for me. Glad I have it. I'll just work hypo into a project that others haven't.
Get it friend! Can’t wait to see what all you do!
I always loved the frosty appearance that comes with hypo and the tones in brings in, I always thought it had alot more potential .. I also love the how clean and refined desert ghost is along with the solid blacks making great contrast ..
I have both in my collection an I think both are amazing and i personally can't pick a favourite 😂
Also great video
We have both too and are super excited to work both of them!
Awesome video topic and great recap of the history of the genes. Personally, I feel Hypo is far superior to DG, although I think the two together work really well. I think the DG A,B,C fiasco hurt DGs popularity a good bit. Also, the rapid rise of Lace is also putting a dent into DG's market share. Personally, I want to work Hypo and Lace together to make what I think will be the best balance of the trio.
Lace is super interesting and I can’t wait to see how Lace fits in too! We have a Lace YB Het Clown girl we are growing up and I can’t wait until she is up to size!
Loved this video such great perspective and there’s so many things yet to be done with each of them!
Thank you friend! Can’t wait to see all the other amazing combos everyone hits!
Fascinating view point. I think youre correct in that its perspective. Taking value out of the equation imo dg does almost opposite of what hypo does. One sharpens and cleans up, the other ghosts out. Both have incredible potential and at this point in the hobby with the knowledge we have and testing avail we can all work whatever we prefer. Ill stick with dg😁
Agree! They do different things and both are awesome at they do! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting!
Hypo for the win!
Love it! Thank you for commenting!
Thanks for another informative show
Thank you for watching friend!
I’ve been team hypo for almost a decade haha I knew it was undervalued and would rise eventually. Do I think it’s overthrown DG? No, I don’t even really think it’s sitting at the table yet. I do think it could though, especially as more hypo DG stuff gets produced. Not every combo works but I think hypo DG is honestly the project with the most potential, it goes with almost everything to make a nicer animal.
Love that they work so well together!
I just picked up a od hypo male and he is a stunning snake one of my top 5 list
I love them both!!
Same!
Nice video, I like them both 👍! Working on Enhancers for now, planning to add Hypo at some point ! I think the biggest thing that fucked DG is DGa and DGb.
Great episode. Really respect your researching and delivery. Often feel you are reading my mind. Seemingly hit on the same topics I’m currently thinking of. I’m heavily invested in both genes.. most recent buys were hypo, asphalt het pied and enchi, Mojave triple het VPI, DG, pied. I have hypo, Ultramel, Pieds too 😁🐍💪🏻🤘🏻can’t wait to see what I like best year 1.
With a title like this, I couldn’t not watch! Great video and overview of Hypo.
Hypo has been killing it! Can’t wait to see what all you produce friend!
I have always loved hypo my ghi Mojave ghost is just as vibrant as when he was younger the color has only gotten better it's the most beautiful grey color too. I have 4 hypos and plan to try to make tsk hypo, clown hypo and puzzle hypo all eventually😍
Those sound amazing friend! Can’t wait to see what all you hit!
I've been researching nuclear farming in agriculture for a few years now, and i believe it should work on ball pythons as well. Basically, plants would be irradiated while they were generating germ cells, which would induce new mutations that farmers found desirable. Now that I'm getting into ball python breeding, i think ill use this method.
I love Desert ghost, But I like the GHI Mojave in Hypo.
Both are amazing! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting btw!
Hypo 🤘🏼
🙌🙌
Awesome video Steven. This is a tough one. I can tell you the “buzz” seems to be around Hypo right now and I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to get it into my collection. I think a big advantage it has is it can go to just about anything and come out looking good.
Yes! I love the attention hypo has been getting recently! Thank you for watching btw! We appreciate you!
Great info thanks
Thank you man!
I honestly wonder what morphs could still come out of nature in the future
Right? I can’t wait to see where the hobby is in ten years!
Hypo was also the cheap way to get into double recessives and eventually pair to make triple hets. So many people had het hypo stuff so it was kind of a BOGO deal and the least expensive way to have the most potential for your direction. This is at the time where triple recessives started to gain traction
I know because that’s the gene I got into at Pennys’s the cost of other recessive stuff.
Completely agree and it works so well with other recs! Definitely a must have!
Personally I prefer DG for the contrast but Hypo definitely has its place.
DG does amazing things with contrast! Thank you for watching and for commenting!
BOTH! Ideally when used together. DG was hurt 1st by the name being affiliated with Desert and 2nd by the polymorphism theory. But it is so good, it will not get lost. Ditching it has proven a loss in the past and nothing has changed, so it will be a loss again for those who drop it.
😊 beautiful snakes
Thank you friend!
When it comes to dark morphs I prefer hypo over dg but I think dg hypo looks better than both
Hypo with dark morphs is amazing! Thank you for watching and for commenting!
Shout out to you Steven for giving Kevin at NERD his "just due" and recognition. I hate the aspect of our hobby that doesn't give props and praise to the OGs of the hobby/industry. Even to this day, Kevin works with morphs and genes that your average ball python breeder doesn't know or recognize, yet when you see them....THEY BLOW YOUR FRIGGIN' MIND!!!!! .....such as Odium.
They discovered so many morphs! They will always be a legend in the ball python world!
I prefer hypo over dg individually but that’s me.
Others can pursue the dg while I perfect hypo combos they can later add. I’ll let them enjoy the rat race.
Hypo has definitely grown on me a ton especially with sunset stuff! Thank you for watching btw, Brandon!
Hypo over DG all day ❤
Hypo has definitely been on the rise! Thank you for watching btw!
Hypo over DG, but Lace over both!
Has Hypo overthrown DG? In my opinion for now DG is still above hypo.
But with kind of this video which shows the difference hypo could up-level the Ball Python combo, the hypo will at least reach the level of DG.
And yeah, DG will slightly down just because all people has DG in their collection.
Completely agree! Hypo does awesome stuff and I feel it is just recently that it has really started getting recognition but DG is just as critical and still a bit more popular
It’s a diarchy.
Love it! Awesome show with Shane last night btw!
@@LeviathanSnakes thank you!!!
I've been saying for years Hypo is superior to DG.
Super happy the hobby has started to shift its opinion on hypo!
Didn’t watch yet but DG is much better IMO
I think it all depends on the exact combo but we love DG and Hypo both! Thank you for commenting btw!
