you are constantly setting such a high bar for yourself, and the whole industry - which is great. and I've said it before, but for me, a big part of that high bar is how calm and relaxed your snakes are, and how you guys handle them so gently and with such respect. I have seen some other breeders on UA-cam showing off some beautiful morphs, but handling them with seemingly no regard for the animal's comfort & stress level, grabbing them out of the bins like designer bags or something. and in turn, the snakes look like they want nothing to do with being handled at all. I know it's a lot of work dealing with that many animals, but for me little things like not yanking open/slamming shut the bins, and treating them all as individual animals means a lot. I'm sure happier snakes also = nicer clutches! congrats once again! the light grayscale and dark morphs with clean negative space or splashes of paradox are my - top 2 faves!
I remember first getting in to BP'S and thinking DG plus axanthic is going to be a must have combo. This was before I could find any online. Just makes sense.
I have a lesser Blade triple het, and a lesser Spotnose triple het. So those are some projects in the work to see what will come out. But the end game would be a Batman Axanthic DG combo
Absolutely stunning! I wish I could afford one but they are probably way out of my price range 😢 But, dang would one of those look freaking amazing in an enclosure next to my Blue Eyed Luci! Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾🎉 on hitting so many on the last clutch!
Been following for quite sometime, amazing pythons for sure. My newbee question is about how they're raised. As a breeder, do they spend most of their lives in those containers? and if so, do you believe the lack of light reflects on the color in anyway?
Well most ball pythons spend majority of their time in burrows made by other animals, essentially anywhere that is dark. There are some breeders that do have smaller collections that allow their ball pythons to be in larger enclosures. Most of the ball pythons that I see on YT that do live in these containers still breed, eat, live long lives as well as get heat and cool spots in their tubs (one half has some sort of heating element and a cooler section if the heating area gets too hot for them). I have not seen any sort of metabolic disease that some reptiles can get due to insufficient lighting or nutrient deficiencies in the ball pythons. As long as they recieve food, water, heating, some sort of substrate and some handling, these ball pythons can live very well. There has been some research done by scientists on the discussion of this topic along with the type of lighting.
Thank you for that explanation. I appreciate you taking the time. My only experience was 40+ years ago in college I purchased and owned a Red tail boa for 5 years until he got too big and I advertised and re homed him. These ball pythons are amazing.
Hey guys, love the channel. Off topic question. My 2yr old ball hasn’t eaten in 2-3 mos and I know it’s probably brumation but he’s still very active at night and when I try to feed him he seems very interested and about to strike but then backs off. I feed him thawed food but should I try live or just be patient? Thanks and any comments are welcome.
Greatest snake ever! Hope you put a DG Clown Pied male to that 1000g girl when she's ready. I'm hoping to hit the firefly leopard axanthic clown this year, thats close the look of a dg axanthic clown so it'll be my poor mans DG Axanthic Clown lol
I am losing it! This clutch was beautiful. That 1k Gram DG Axanthic Clown is an absolute stunner! You all should be so proud of the work in developing such an amazing animal. I usually don’t comment but my goodness this combo took me back. Gorgeous snakes!
the Axanthic DG G-Stripe Clown will be the best quad. No ifs ands or buts. These babies look like super blades but it doesn’t seem to be detracting from the look at all.
If any one breeder out there could create a rainbow bp it would be you guys. I would bet my hard earned money. Rainbow ball pythons by kinova. The future in designer exotics.
Know if you asked fire to that desert ghost axanthic clown it will only look even better having a really reduced pattern and even more black and white and should only get better
What gene are you most excited to see added to the VPI Axanthic DG Clown?
I think blackhead would be really nice.
The hobo gene is going to rock the market with the super homeless being the full expression we will all see it soon
Something to play with the pattern, or any of the genes that expand the darker parts of the pattern, as well as keeping them as dark as possible
Blackhead, Leopard
Orange Dream for cleaning and brightening!
Awesome!
Glad you think so!

Thank you for the kind words!
I love the black and whites!
Ughh! That's a dream snake for me... I love most combos that include just one of those 3 genes and when they all combine its just mind blowing to me
Wow! Jaw dropping project forsure!
4:22 "the natural beauty" wait... what?
Absolutely stunning baby snakes. Congratulations on overcoming the odds for that extra special one.
I don’t know how you do it Justin! You never cease to amaze me. You have some beauties here!🦋

I remember first getting in to BP'S and thinking DG plus axanthic is going to be a must have combo. This was before I could find any online. Just makes sense.

Fabulous - good luck!!
So beautiful!!! Axanthic is my favorite……by far! I hope one day I can afford one. 🐍❤️🐍
I hope so too!
Great video Mr. Justin
Wow you would think it would look better as it grows not what i expected
Absolutely stunning! I wish I could afford one but they are probably way out of my price range 😢 But, dang would one of those look freaking amazing in an enclosure next to my Blue Eyed Luci! Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾🎉 on hitting so many on the last clutch!
Thank you!
You know you're doing something right when the misses are amazing lol.
Sweet.

Thank you! Will do!

Love the clown project . Kinova crushes it again ! God bless .
Incredible combo

We'd try live if you're concerned, but it's also very normal for them to go off feed over the winter at that age.
I would love too see blackhead in that combo 😍
Black pastel 😊
Those are insane looking snake’s definitely killed it
Damnnnnnnnn ,,,, Great Stuff ,,,, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo '
Cool ❤
How available is this morph?
We have the only ones in the world.
One of the best snakes out rn
That is amazing Snake❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
Greatest snake ever! Hope you put a DG Clown Pied male to that 1000g girl when she's ready. I'm hoping to hit the firefly leopard axanthic clown this year, thats close the look of a dg axanthic clown so it'll be my poor mans DG Axanthic Clown lol
Awesome!!!!
mans opening these eggs like they're lootboxes 😭
They're all beautiful 😍
Beautiful
Amazing
Amazing video I learned a good bit I can not wait to breed my girls.
How frequently do your snakes eat when you're breeding them. How frequently do they eat as you build them up to be ready to breed.
I am losing it! This clutch was beautiful. That 1k Gram DG Axanthic Clown is an absolute stunner! You all should be so proud of the work in developing such an amazing animal. I usually don’t comment but my goodness this combo took me back. Gorgeous snakes!
Thank you so much!!
I would love to see a Desert Ghost Axanthic Clown pied
the Axanthic DG G-Stripe Clown will be the best quad. No ifs ands or buts. These babies look like super blades but it doesn’t seem to be detracting from the look at all.
🤯
Personally I think an Axanthic DG Pied would be the better triple recessive.
Would love to hit that too!
Wow. Wow. And WOW. That's all i can say.
If any one breeder out there could create a rainbow bp it would be you guys. I would bet my hard earned money. Rainbow ball pythons by kinova. The future in designer exotics.
over here impatiently waiting for these to be prevalent enough to be able to afford one
We're working on it!
The best ball python I've seen, just make a Pompeii axanthic DG clown
💚💜💜💚💜💜💚
All I can say is wow
Know if you asked fire to that desert ghost axanthic clown it will only look even better having a really reduced pattern and even more black and white and should only get better
I bet you’re right!
@@KINOVAReptiles I'm just basing that off of KD Construction axanthic fire combos make a clean black and why snake
How did you get that snake to 1000 grams in a year
It’s actually 14 months. Just feed one rodent a week
I missed this when it came out. Awesome 👍
epiccccc
🇲🇽👍#1
Every video lol crazy
A thousand grams...you mean a kilogram?
Now make the snow dg clown
We'll do our best!
Vlogs wouldn’t be way better is they were longer than 5-7 minutes
+
Speed is too fast. Not enough time to read or really see the snakes in the eggs.
