Awesome video! 👏🏼 if you ever want to record an episode of the podcast on this topic, I’d be happy to have you on!
Would love to! Shoot me an email to summer@kinovareptiles.com and we can set it up :)
We just wanted to take a moment to congratulate Justin, Summer and the entire Kinova team for leading the way on how to transition a Ball Python from its typical tub setup to a larger pet setup.
For years now there has been such a disconnect between breeders and pet keepers, and we believe that many of the issues are simply a lack of understanding of how the other side cares for their reptiles, and why the care is considerably different.
We applaud industry leaders like Justin who understand that there are different methods for different purposes, and that most of us just want to enjoy our Ball pythons as pets and create a wonderful home for them to thrive in, while displaying their natural behavior. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much for your kind words! We appreciate companies like yours that provide amazing resources for creating beautiful environments for animals to enjoy and work to push the hobby forward. As more and more of reptiles are being kept as pets, we hope this trend continues as the hobby grows and these animals become more mainstream.
I have two of your Evolution 4x2x2’s for two of my BP’s. I’m getting ready to order my third for my yearling. I absolutely LOVE your enclosures!!
@@loriw2661 Thank you very much for your orders and support. We really appreciate it 🙂
All excellent info. I have been keeping pythons since the 90s but I still love watching care videos. This is great info and well done.
Awesome, thank you!
Really nice job with this Summer!
Thank you Lori! Appreciate all your insight and research!
Hi I just watched your video of ball pythons not eating we have a 16-17 year old ball python named Sheila. She isn't really eating mainly from being blind in one eye. The previous owner did not take very good care of her keeping her in a wire cage and feeder her live rats for amusement until one took out her eye one day not to mention all the cuts from the chicken wire. We aquired her not long after I build a 4x2x2 bioactive cage for her and brought her back to health. She has always had trouble eating and would only eat live no matter what tricks we tried, but she still had the appetite for smaller rats. (with a bit of help to avoid more injury) In the last year however she has slowed down with her movements and will only eat a single mouse every month. I've tried all the tricks in your video, but I fear her time is near being her age and going though what she has.
A while back I asked about this and glad to see this video was made! I’m getting back into having BP’s as pets so thank you for making this video, very helpful!!
So glad it is helpful to you!
👏 bravo, great video and an important one 💪🐍
Thank you 🙌
Good informative video. Hopefully new BP owners will find this helps them be successful
I hope so too!
Thank you for recommending Lori Torrini. She’s amazing
She's awesome!
Great video guys!!! I would add that humidity also is a pretty big deal to keep right, I think humidity is actually the hardest thing for most new keepers to deal with
Great point!
Great info....
Great video and great information
Thank you!
Wouha magnifique 🐍🐍🤩

Glad you like them!
Thank you for the cool video!! I love the snake you used in the video!! Hope everyone is doing well. Have a nice day!!
Thanks! You too!
가즈아!
Also, if you can get, or purchase from the breeder, your snake's favorite hide (or favorite enrichment item, bring it home and use it! At least to start. A sandwich baggie of the used substrate also. Place the used substrate under the favorite item.
When you upgrade, do the same thing. Don't make EVERYTHING new. Make sure their binkies go with them.
Good tip!
Hello🇮🇩

Will any of this knowledge influence how Kinova operates? Is there consideration being discussed on how breeders can do better by their stock, especially when volume vs. resources can be a major limitation? I think how the organization chooses to move forward can be both telling and inspirational for others while avoiding those who may view this in a context of a 'puppy mill telling me how to raise my dog' mindset. Great information and presentation and I think greater adoption of such principles benefits the keeper and the animal as well as reducing bullet points for anti-reptile/exotic pet entities.
In order to produce the high-quality, genetically complex animals that we do for the industry, we follow a carefully developed keeping and breeding protocol that has been refined over 20+ years, and we have a dedicated team focused on the care of each and every snake to ensure their health and ability to thrive for customers. We are unable to completely change these highly specialized routines and risk the health of our 2000+ animals, but we are looking to introduce new protocols to provide more stimulation and exploration opportunities for our hatchling snakes. For pet customers, we are considering offering an additional service to start the transition process for them using the naturalistic enclosures in our "Special Projects" room where we house our pet animals. But this is all a work in progress!
@@KINOVAReptiles Thanks for the reply, I know it takes a large amount of effort if affecting change at such a large scale. I'm sure any significant change is a six-figure project but one worth it in the long-term if pursued. No hate here!
Not just ball pythons,but all reptiles raised in a rack system...
And going off topic,maybe breeders will work on breeding smaller ball pythons.
Why might they do that?
im just wondering what
type of ball python morph did you show at 1:27
🤘🏼
what is that breathtaking clown in the hide around 5:15 ?? Beautiful!
Cypress Special Clown!
@@KINOVAReptiles is it for sale or any like it?
👍🫵😎
Sometimes, things can not be helped
I've gotten in 9 or more ball pythons from several different breeders within a week
Only 2 died on the exact same day
Those 2 were from same breeder
Contacted breeder and breeder boasted on there thousands of snakes shipped out yearly
As important as it is to know how to care for something you are acquiring
Responsibility is as important to know as the term "puppy mill." There will be others in different sections exploiting a market
I got a ball python from a breeder after watching a few videos I feel the breeder I got him from I feel is a complete lie I desperately need advice because I feel this breeder lied to me
The breeder said I don't need Over head lights or a mat the breeder said i only need a heating lamp they also saidb don't really need water cause they get their water from blood
I was also told that I don't need to clutter it up I'm desperate for advice
I would recommend following the advice we outlined in this video.
@@laffaetteoutlaw529oh My! They 100% need water. That breeder was nuts. Just watch a bunch of care vids on youtube and you will feel more confident
