I personally think no pattern or morph is more important then any severe issues that we could be preventing. There are soooo many beautiful snakes and we should know when to take a step back and retire certian morphs.
Exactly. Aesthetics DO NOT trump health and well-being.
truly
Seeing a snake crawling on it's back sounds terrifying
Not really, it’s just sad
Then don’t get a hognose. It’ll give you nightmares. Jk they play dead and it’s kind of adorable.
While I disagree completely with continuing Spider lines, I'm very happy that people are bringing up other morphs with issues! I think the reason spider gets picked is because it's EXTREMELY popular because of how long it's been around, so it's just the biggest target, and because so many breeders don't warn people about the wobble. It's easy to see that a snake has bug eyes, or a duck bill, but it's much harder to tell a snake wobbles when it's in a deli cup at a reptile show. I wouldn't dislike it nearly as much if every spider morph seller warned customers that their baby snake may have a severe problem with eating and with moving around as it gets older.
Exactly why I first got my spider I had no idea I own 4 ball pythons and my spider is so mean and he goes upside, misses his food a lot and other very weird stuff going on with him but I still wouldn’t trade him for another snake lol
@@zayexotic2423 I got a spider after getting a pastel not knowing that different morphs can have their own problems, he had it bad, couldn't eat properly and he unfortunately died a few years ago
As someone with Spina Bifida "spinal kink" is an understatement and does not accurately describe the severity of the deformity.
So true...
it is so sad, i think its horrible when people breed them to the point of having health issues and such, snakes are same as any other animal, they deserve quality of l ife and respect as well as any othr creatures
You don't know until you try. it's often in the anomalies that a lot of our understanding of genetics is made. and as Chris pointed out some quirks seem to be specific to certain lines, and others don't really bother the snake, they just don't look like what we expect.
It is a tough think breeding any kind of animals like the cats and dogs with the smooshed face or tiny little legs . I breed fancy pigeons and there are strange types that can have problems . On the plus side these animals wouldn't exist if they weren't domestic animals. They will never have even a remote possiblity of going extinct like some others do . So evolutionary wise they are winning. Also the purpose for videos like this is so people don't repeat the same mistakes breeding no viable animals. Most like 99% of the people who raise animals do it because of a love of them and there beauty so there care is utmost in mind . I check mine constantly for temp , humidity, cleanliness,and have a fit if they have shed on feeding problems and correct anything immediately.
People didn't cause these problems. It's part of the gene. The way you find out the gene has problems is by breeding it.
OK, 10 months too late but it's not breeding. The spider came from the wild. It was nature.
@@wendygoerl9162 yeah thats true too
I just adopted two snakes one being a bumblebee being veryy affected. It’s so sad to watch her it really brings me to tears but i’m happy that now i can give her the life she deserves. It’s just sad when people say it’s cute or it never happens.
Watching this to determine what morph I might want or want to pass on. Getting my first ball python soon and been research constantly the last few days. This is an important topic to me as it is really important to me that the snake I get lives a good quality life.
Did you end up buying one? I’m researching and checking out all these morphs and I can not decide 🥴
I would recommend a pied they are simple and beautiful! That's what my first boy is and he is absolutely amazing!
Glad to hear that you are being so responcible and straight headed, i feel like there are a lot of people that do very little research when it comes to buying reptiles.
Dang! Wrote a whole long post hypothesizing about the relationship between the neurological and eye disorders to the coloration. I guessed it had to relate to some sort of transcription factor. Turns out I was right. Found a paper that goes over what little is currently known about ball python genetics. Also found a 2018 post looking for grad students to investigate the basis of ball python coloration. Hopefully someone will start publishing more in this field so a better understanding can be obtained.
One really interesting detail, turns out melanocytes (color bearing cells) develop from the neural crest, which also goes on to differentiate into neuronal tissues. Therefore, if there is something mutated in the transcription factor genes (genes that code for proteins that then regulate other genes) expressed in the neural crest, it is very likely that both the color and the neuronal function will be affected. It definitely points to the likely cause of the head wobble and eye hyper/hypotrophy. Kinks might also be somewhat linked, but to me it is a bit less obvious how.
It would be neat to get a much fuller view of the actual reasons behind the genetic defects and thereby perhaps develop methods of intervention that might be able to facilitate the breeding of healthy individuals with the desired patterns. Find ways to either decouple or ameliorate the neuronal effects from the pigmentation effects.
Here is the only paper I could find on the subject: www.hindawi.com/journals/abi/2016/1286510/
Chris,
When I was first getting into watching reptile youtube channels, I wasn't as interested in your channel at first.
But now that I'm thinking about dipping my toes into the ball python breeding world, I can't get enough. All your information is so great and helpful. And you present it in such a simplified up-front way. I love it. Keep up the good work, because now I'm following your channel religiously.
Nice!
I had a spider morph when I was 7 he had such severe head wobble we had to put him down cause he kept smacking his head on his hides and he couldn't really function anymore so at 7 i got the choice to put him down and i did so he didn't hurt his head anymore.....his head had scars from hitting his head so it was just better to put him down cause we couldn't really help the head wobble at that point
I have a leopard spider but luckily his wobble is minimum to none, it’s a result of retained sperm, he only wobbles slightly up and down when he moves suddenly or gets in strike position too fast and losses balance. I never plan on breeding him either way but luckily none of the babies suffered from severe or even mild wobble.
You did the right thing friend
Right, stop spreading bullshit, it rarely happens and if it does it’s not nearly as bad as what you’ve just described 🙄
@@angelzfire312 my spider, black pastel, ghost is so bad that he can't keep his balance at all. He can't eat by himself. He's lost so much weight and has been to the vet several times. The only reason he's alive is because I force feed him. This happens way more than people think. No, I didn't create this animal. He was a retired "proven" breeder from BHB reptiles. To think that this poor guy has sired babies, and to think those babies might have that wobble too, is horrendous.
@@elissacousland44 It happens as often as it happens, no more and no less; there are non spiders with wobbles too and I have a Gopher with Inclusion soo there’s a lot we don’t know and are still learning but to say ‘all spiders are going to wobble’ is redundant and I don’t even like them as a morph I just think as a scientist that’s ridiculous, like just because something is on the internet doesn’t make it true?
I've got an Axanthic Killerbee, we call her Wonton. I have noticed a wobble in her that is very slight, and it only happens on feeding day when she is moments away from feeding. I think it varies spider to spider, and some have severe issues, and others don't. Honestly, if I hadn't known about the wobble I would have just chalked her quirk up to excitement.
The information you provide is by far the best I've come by for someone who is interested in getting involved with owning/breeding. I'll be doing my research here before I get started.
I appreciate that!
I had a BEL Texas Rat Snake several years ago. He was great, really gentle and easy to handle. He had bug eyes too. It used to be almost the norm with these BELs. I see now that this has been mostly bred out of these snakes. I do have a Black eyed Lucy ball python now, a super Fire. She has normal sized beautiful black eyes with red pupils. She will be bred to my calico male this season. (Jan Griffiths).
great video just what first time snake buyers need to hear!
I love his videos he's like a nice old grandpa telling kids about reptiles
Dude, we had the same problem with UPS in Fairplay, they wouldn't deliver in the slightest inclement weather. The recommendation on generator, especially in the cold is right on. Very much worth the back up. In the mountains you never know whats gonna happen. Enjoyed the last 2 videos, thanks!
Also albino can be associated with one or no eyes as well as cleft pallet. They say it’s more so if both parents are visual albino but also can depend on lineage.
I thought your snake friend was gonna poop on you! He looked ready for pooping! 🤣
There are many dog breeds that have certain health problems as well. Like white colored poodles are known for epilepsy and great Danes have hip dysplasia I believe it Is etc....no one makevideos talking down on ppl that breed dog breeds known for having issues. Just saying. At the same time I dont know if I wanna take a chance breeding something that is very likely to have a problem. It's a hard debate!
Actually, there is a whole lot of criticism of those who breed flawed dog lines. There's also a major push in the working and molossar communities to move away from "show" standards and reintroduce healthy, functional dogs back into the lines. There are people working very hard to correct the breeding mistakes of the past. Let's hope it doesn't take the BP community as long to do the same.
@@TheCharleseye oh I guess I didnt research h that. That's good. Like pugs are so cute but they have problems. And I just dont thi m I would want to chance having kinked snakes or any messed up animals that will suffer....
It stems from people who are so dumb they immediately think that a genetic defect is strictly “bad” when in reality nearly every variant of every species on earth has a “defect” of some sort as that’s how genetics work. We just like to ignore them especially within our own species because it’s not pc
Actually some bulldog breeds like the Carlin are starting to become illegal to produce, as their quality of life is only getting worse. And that’s because there wasn’t enough criticism of it, people just accepted the problems and let it go on for way too long. Now certain breeds are almost irreparable.
One jaw being smaller than the other? How does that happen? Love watching your videos lol
Mouth problems can be associated in albino. There is such a thing as a small lower jaw like an overbite affect. But usually deformation can happen in the egg. Wrong incubation technique can cause deformation. Bad temps, humidity, things like that. I’ve seen terrible mouth deformation from a breeder where the mouth was completely sideways on the lower jaw sadly that is the truth in breeding so you have to do all your homework to prevent that as much as possible.
I have a pastel and her head is longer then the normal ball python. It doesn’t seem to have affected her neurologically. She eats great and acts normal. She’s just different looking
My Banana Enchi Clown has a weird shaped head too, really beautiful though.
I'm finding when I look at different one the head shape is slightly different . Some the head is peanut shaped and some are straighter on the side more triangular. I was watching someone who said it's different localities they originated from and affects the overall size as adults. I don't know if that is accurate . I have a normal with the straight sides of the head and my banana and ivory have peanut shape curvy heads. Noticable different shapes. I like the peanut head so cute ,they look like a cartoon drawing of a snake . They all seem unaffected by how they all are and seem totally normal and unaffected.
Well I did it again . I blame you a little showing your lemon blast .Was coming home from ME today and stopped at NERD just to look around . Asked about a female I've been looking at on morphmarket a leopard,lemon blast,yellow belly. They gave me a discount because no shipping so I got her . She needs to eat a couple more times so I have to go back up and get her . I'm going to put her with the banana YB male . I hope to get a ivory leopard some day. All the others eating very well . Love plastic tubs for heat and humidity can't beat them . In 56qt sterile tubs homemade rack working great .
THere certainly are alot of combos and single genes one must give alot of thought too, same as our Jag here in Australian pythons, make stunning morphs when put with other genetics but can certainly give you a snake with some issues to deal with such as wobbles and some are quite severe as well.
Just great! Seriously so enjoy your work!!
I have a double lesser BEL with pastel in her too. She seems to have a bit of yellow on her though. And she does seem to have eyes that are a little bigger, I guess. But she sheds it just fine, she's happy and healthy. Extremely tame. I thought about getting a super Mojave male for her. But I don't know if her pastel might create an issue as far as keeping the snake fully white goes???
I got the power issue handled. We have solar, and a backup generator. We live in AZ, where it's sunny over 90 percent of the time. Never had to use the generator, but it's there if we have to. (Jan Griffiths).
Great video! I haven't heard of some of these issues. Thanks for sharing
I decided on a corn snake instead of a python. I prefer their personality and when I started reaserching ball python morphs I was buffled.
I never found any problems with morphs in corn snake except someone writing on a forum about diffused having neurological issues however it's not confimed. I couldn't find any references or articles about it. Also a palmetto gene that causes bug eyes (I personaly think that they shouldn't be breed and sold to public, breeders should at least look into buyers because enlarged eyes could be a potentialy dangerous thing, their eye can be poked more easily) 95% of corn snakes morphs are reccesive.
When I started to look into ball python morphs I was shocked that so many morphs have poblems and that many super variants are lethal. It's really concerning that so many morphs have problems and people still breed them. I think that they should be breed in lab to preserve their genes and find a way to make them less dangerous or non-lethal. I would never breed a spider or any other morphs that can potenialy make animals life harder. Brachycephalic dogs are even worse the same goes for persian cats, because we made them like that. French bulldogs can't even breed naturaly without human intervension. I digress.
People are even less educated when it comes to scaleless snakes. Again if I even owned one I wouldn't breed it to get more scaleless or at least make sure that future owners have expirience. People don't understand the difference between scaleless ball pythons and colubrids. Colubrids even when scaleless have belly scales pythons DON'T. Some people really don't understand the gravity of this difference. I once read a post on forum made by a guy who wanted to get a scaleless ball python. People told him about it and how it's a huge difference but he was like "I never knew but I still want a scaleless". I was so angry at this guy.
"Super" champ is also lethal. Never tried to produce one. Never will. I do have a champ calico male produced in 2017, and his mom is retired from breeding. He hasn't bred yet, but his first "date" will be a Black Pastel Lesser this next season. (Jan Griffiths).
Great video chris !! Keep them coming !
In many breeds of dogs, head wobbles are linked to a Vitamin D3 deficiency within the breed and need a monthly supplement. I wonder if anyone has ever done any blood testing of vitamins and minerals of these morphs?
I've always preffered morphs that look more like a normal Ball Python. Maybe a little more green
Love your videos man, totally respect what your doing and look up to you brother. So just in the spirit of sharing information, addressing the Bannanna gene. Male Bannannas as you know will all be either, male makers, or female makers. Depending on which parent they inherited the Bannanna gene from. For example if you Breed a female Bannanna to normal male, then all the male Bannanna's in that clutch will be "female makers". Now when you breed that male down the road, then all the offspring he produces that carry the Bannanna gene, will be female. With about 93-97% accuracy. However, all the offspring he produces that DO NOT carry the Bannanna gene, will be male. Also with about 93%-97% accuracy. They won't actually be a 50 50 split.
Thank you for this explanation. I have a 9 month old male banana and he will probably be a female maker. I do not plan on breeding him though.
I have a lesser piebald and I was wondering if the smaller eyes can cause any quality of life issues? His aren't super tiny but I thought about breeding him but I don't want to if it could cause unhealthy/unhappy babies. Quality of life and comfort should always come first. Thanks in advance!
Lesser eye problems are only associated in the combo. So if you breed it don’t breed to a het pied or another lesser and it should come out fine. They don’t pass on that anomaly so if you bred it to anything outside my remarks it’ll have normal eyes.
I just bought a Pastel caramel albino Ball Python but it has a bad wobble can corkscrew but he is 8 yrs old and extremely friendly. He doesn't turn himself upside down but head will go in weird directions.
I hope you report the delivery service. That’s ridiculous. Thank you for the great info :)
I disagree with putting bananas on a list of morphs with problems. A sex linked gene isn't a problem. It causes absolutely no issues in the snakes and requires no extra work by the keeper. In fact, if it wasn't for the Banana, we wouldn't have realized that BPs are XY, instead of ZW.
I'd say a morph that gives us a major breakthrough in our understanding of a species, has zero health issues, does something entirely unique ("ripening" spots and sex linking), and gives us amazing combos, is the exact _opposite_ of a "problem morph."
It's a problem if you buy a male maker and expect to get females LOL
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Yeah but I'd call that a research problem, not a morph problem. Lol
That definitely doesn't make it an anomaly. It means you didn't research before you bought a common snake.
I have a nearly 6 foot champ pastel female with slight wobble. She didn't have it as a baby. She got it after she was 2 years old and laid her first clutch. She's 7 now. None of the males she was bred to had any spider (which would be lethal crossed with champ anyway), and none of her babies have it. She does eat very well---a medium rat weekly, and always acts like she's starving when food is offered. She is no longer used as a breeder, last clutch was in 2019. Still a nice pet though, but heavy. She is a paradox with a ringer. (Jan Griffiths).
I have a bamboo with some spider in it and its flawless
great vid, very informative.
In the delivery guys head he’s like this is where people go to die lolol
I’d be livid if my package was delivered like that!
in regards to these snakes, I would advise that you only by these animals at expo's where you can meet the snake in person
I agree!
Solar is kick ass! we have solar power up at my buddys little shop where we hang out an work on cars an stuff, we do have a 4k genny for running the welder or air compressor etc..
I scrolled down to the comments before finishing the video, and I thought that "solar" was a new morph I hadn't heard of. ;) With a name like that, it sounds like it would be awesome!
Hey Chris 1st thank you for all the vids you do and all that editing, searching and info. Quick question what is a good age to start seeing kinks and others issues in Ball python morphs. Im afraid of being lied to at a store or a reptile expo.
This is super late but maybe someone will see this. Kinks show up from the time they are hatched. It’s a visual defect born with. You will see a seized up curve somewhere so the best way to check is to hold it and have it crawl up and over a hand like it’s on hand treadmill that way the spine will straighten out over you hand in an arch. Kinks are associated with a left or right shift so if it crawls directly over something you should see that shift like arching to check for scoliosis. Any age you should be able to see it.
My BEL ball python has a round dilated pupil on right eye, and a normal slit pupil on her left. Her normal eye, the pupil adjusts depending on ambient light, but her round dilated pupil remains dilated even if I shine a flashlight onto it. Is this a common genetic problem of bell with mojave and lesser parents? Please help
That's true---I've never seen female Deserts on MM either. I have a male Desert x Lesser that's really nice. Crisp clear bright markings. "Dudley" is my 2nd main boy after my Calico boy, who has lots of nice white. (Jan Griffiths).
Chris you have that LONNNNNNG money 💰 I’m praying my pockets and accounts catch up to yours one day really SOON 🙏🙏🙏
Edit...I would definitely find out who that driver was that left that package and Get a hold of his Dumb a** Supervisor!! Lol
how come the banana /coral glow have two snakes that look completely different and yet they're both CG/banana without any other gene's, why is this?
I love listening to you talk lol ! This is very sad tho .
Any way to identify each snake? Like with dogs and horses. You could then back trace where these defects come from.
Not really, it's all in the genes.
Thats how it is in horses, or what we have seen w cloning,.
What do you think about owning a Desert Kingsnake? It looks like they are more docile then the California Kingsnake. It seems that their diet is really versatile.
Spider morph? More morphs? O~0
Its crazy to me gow much people harp on Spiders, when many morphs have their own issues. Including dog and cat breeds as well
then we should harp on spiders AND the rest of them
Hook up a Generac... natural gas... they are awesome! And waaaay cheaper now. Well worth it
Paradise Chris. Miss the four seasons! Deplore the desert Arizona on every level possible. UPS does dumb stuff everywhere though if you get a “ special “ delivery person;)
I actually just talked to the driver today, apparently he was out for three weeks and had a guy covering for him. I guess he was scared of my driveway LOL
I had a FedEx driver pull up to my building, sit a minute, and leave. After some calls they told him to come back, but a couple of hours later, I got a call from a Walgreens saying he'd left it there. An overnight package clearly marked "live animal." The whole day was a nightmare. I ended up going to get her from the Walgreens and the guy had come back after FedEx and Walgreens called him so I got to give him a piece of my mind in person.
Just shipped out a bunch of snakes, the guy paid over $2,000. He was waiting at home next to his front door, the FedEx driver didn't even ring the bell, just left the snakes on the front porch in the snow. Luckily they didn't sit there too long, scared the heck out of everyone. I had big writing on the top of the box 'Keep At Room Temperature'. YIKES
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures I'd be so upset. This guy marked it for a delivery exception saying that I wasn't home! The breeder got a refund for the shipping and FedEx were supposed to call me back about some kind of action for this, but when I call now, they just keep saying they'll call me. It was 2 weeks ago now.
What about Ivory Pastel Super Yellowbelly? (White with a faint yellow stripe down the back, black eyes, and a faint grey splotch on the tail). Have a new female that seems very healthy so far. Eats well, strikes good, and is very calm.
Kevin McCurley has produced a homozyous spider in which the whole clutch was 100% Spider
why would a responsible breeder breed in a neurological condition into a snake , responsible breeders try to avoid this from happening .....what is the benefit of profiting off of a sick snake
The neurological issue comes _from_ the morph, so it's not even something you can breed out of the line. :/
Yet again a great vid , keep it up !
Hi Chris. Great video again. Can I trouble you to make a video explaining the difference between the leopard and the normal ?
Very very insightful thank you 😊
I'm new to the hobby and looking to pick up 3-5 bp to grow and breed out. It seems like the clutches are seasonal. What time of year is best to pick up some juveniles? I know they'll take 3-4 years to grow before they breed.
Usually you'll have the best selection in the fall when most breeders hatch out their eggs.
oh no I only knew about spiders ! Thank you sm for this video I was about to get a champagne
My girl is pinstripe Mojave her dad was 50% het pied as well I didn’t want one with to many genes in cuz they always end up with issues but would you say pinstripe and Mojave have quite good chances of having no issues genetically
I got a 8ball flame with some paradoxing on it and it's acting like it has some hind of neurological issue it's eating just weird how it moves I just got him today ill keep my eyes on him any tips would be helpful
The package...smh..2 months ago they delivered my baby asian water monitor to my door, i was home, he didnt ring didn't doorbell, he put it infront of my door upside down, it was 90 plus outside and i randomly checked and there it was.... 😕
chris, what do you think of a GHI Mohave het Desert Ghost x Pastel desert ghost? or would you pick something else for the pastel desert ghost?
Sounds like a good pair!
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures thanks, I think this will be generational project
I wonder if the lesser and pied combos eventually could lose their eyes all together.. I've seen older eyeless snakes. They get that way by living. Lol
Do you know, the OTHER reptiles? I breed poultry. Rare poultry. SOME chicken breeds( the very rare ones get star gazing( MORE prone) I have fixed it or cured completely with selenium and vitamin B.
Teresa Tanasi
Do you breed any of the all black chickens?
Mine is a butter genetic stripe and she tends to bend her neck back when she climbs im worried
I actually like the champagne😕 I wanted to breed it to my yellow belly. But not anymore! I need a snake to breed with my yellow belly.
Or maybe if someone breeds a super spider with another Super spider that would probably fix the spider head wobble
Is head wobble the only neurological issue people recognize in snakes ? (Ahh, okay. Spinal kinks are another)
Coming from a welder, be careful with long cords. You lose power and is easier to pop a breaker depending on what you’re powering. If you’re running long cords run 10 ought and you should be fine
What?
Spider BPs have neurological issues?
"buT KEvIn wAS tHe FIrsT tO bREEd ThEM"
honestly, a lot of Spider BP breeders are prioritizing the aesthetic and the "cute quirky, not-at-all debilitating Spider wobble and corkscrew" over the health, well-being and quality of life of the snake
I hate how everyone goes after spider ball pythons when there are so many other morphs with basically the same problem.
Lucistic blue eyes big or small are amazing
I agree!
13years ago i own spider ball with a lot of yelow. I sell that girl and now my son intrested snakes😉 im looking spider again🙃
Fish tanks! Show them off.
I should! I pretty much switched to a ball python only channel, really helps the views. People can binge watch LOL.
No wonder you don't find these morphs in the wild, they would never survive 😔
Which morphs are best (health and activity-wise)??? Cause I'm about to get a baby real soon... which ones should I be looking at??
I’m not really into any ball pythons but with the amount of genes ppl are combing Made me not wanna buy one anymore, I bought a western hog nose and a speckled king snake instead of a ball python. With ball pythons I don’t trust any big snake breeder
He Chris, random question. 'Why is it that everytime I'm thawinging out my mice/rats, they're always so bloody'? Is it possible because they weren't euthanized properly?
Are they vacuum sealed? Make sure to break the seal before thawing.
Rats can secrete a red fluid from a gland. Behind the eyes and nose when stressed I have found that when I buy frozen thawed rats from some pet stores. This is quite common
Missouri state university thinks there black head spider study might be able to produce a viable super spider black heads but it sed they are looking to get another generation of the mixes before they try
Interesting!
Looking to buy a male about 800 grams do you have any at the moment
Are pewter, pinstripes, or cinnamon ones unhealthy? What about lemon blast? thanks!
Lemon blasts and pinstripes are both fine. I’ve also never heard anything bad about the other two
great vid as always, liked and subbed
Thanks for subscribing!
Does anyone know if super blackhead has issues?
Can super fire have a head wobble?
it's almost like we are seeing a pattern here with supers :X
I thought the HGW didn't have any head wobble/neurological issues?
From what I've seen it's similar to the woma and spider.
Chris Hardwick good to know, I was thinking about getting a male with HGW and a few other genes to pair with my bamboo female because I really like the Plutonium (HGW/bamboo) morph but I might shy away from that now. Thanks for responding 🤘🏼
@@sandytoes4226 I have been breeding hgw since 2012 and I don't know what you would put it with to make it wobble.
Can the snakes with small eyes still see well?
Yes, she seems to see just fine.
Woot
IMO the market is totally oversaturated with morphs. I honestly prefer the natural coloration of the species and it's a little disheartening going on website after website looking for a "natural" one and only finding expensive morphs.
Huh? There are a lot of normals on MorphMarket?
I’ve found Theres a lot of normals and they’re super super cheap
@@candykkhorsesngp925 exactly! Like 20 euros.. suuuuper cheap.
My desert female ball python laying 5 egg this year, and the baby can surval
What you just said is exactly what I did. I was shopping for a first pet for my son, he chose ball python. The first one that was really chill and beautiful, we took home. It is a spider and I had no idea what that meant when I got her. However, based on everything I've seen from videos and articles to my own personal experience, I think I will be breeding my spider.
I have been breeding hidden gene woma since 2012, and I don't know what you would put it with to make it wobble. I guess Champaign or spider from what you are saying. I got mine from NERD and mine don't wobble since 2012. I will keep trying to make some that wobble I suppose.
Interesting, I haven't heard much from people working with this gene...

29th! Lol but really, GREAT video. I'm shopping morphs. Any advice for Mojave?
Go for a BEL!
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures I really like the Markings on Mojave though! Any issues with the ones with the bones down their back? Ghi I think?
I like the Fire Mojave. You keep the markings and you don't get the muddled colors as they get older. Honestly, I'd mix Fire with anything. If you want something that does crazy things with the color and pattern, you can't go wrong with GHI Mojave.
Just saw your second comment. No, there are no issues with GHI Mojaves.
Ghi mystic or special are the genes I’d go for with Mojave. Each has a unique approach to breeding if you decide to go that route.
Have any of your female gone through there pre lay shed yet ?
I don't track the sheds, but I have several that are really close!
Very cool super exciting
