Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- If you don't know exactly what morphs are in your snake, it can be difficult to figure out, but there are ways to do it. Today I'm going to give you a few different ways that can help you figure out what your ball python is - or any snake for that matter.
We're going to do this while I reveal my newest 6-morph combo Freeway & Super Asphalt ball python clutch. I'm getting help from Dave at Muscle Serpents University and Jon at Jon's Jungle for this clutch ID. If you like information combined with cute baby snakes, this is the video for you.

"Someone with low self esteem who found a new ball python keeper" 👏👏👏👏 You, Bob Bledsoe, hit the nail on the head as usual.
Aw thanks Shannon!
Ron and Delilah made some CUUUUUUUUTE babies!!! It's always super cool to see how genes, in various random combos can result in babies that all look so drastically different from each of their siblings. if I didn't know, I wouldn't guess that some of those even have the same parents.
Thanks! Yeah they look sooo different from each other and their parents
Past Bob seemed to have a rough time making this video, but we appreciate all of his (and Future Bob’s) hard work
That last baby is one of the most beautiful snakes I've ever seen. I'm sooooo in love! Be still my heart! ❤❤❤
🤣🤣🤣 How's THIS for irony: you can't call me a 100% morph whiz because I DIDN'T REMEMBER Delilah possibly had orange dream in her when you invited me to the Green Room to prove my know-it-all abilities! 😣😭 And the possibility of orange dream in her was definitely mentioned in at least two videos before I appeared on your channel. I won't forget again though, because I'm getting her sweet little baby with some of the same genetic question marks!! I can't wait to welcome her home!! 😍🤩😍
"99.8% Morph Whiz"
😆😆😆
Congrats on your new baby!
Past Bob is just doing his best.
We appreciate you, Past Bob!
Thank you! Future Bob is grumpy sometimes
Congratulations on your new little loves!! They are all 100% het adorable
Aw thanks so much!
Thank you for this video! I plan to get a ball python at some point in the future and this is suuuper helpful in learning about the different morphs!
I made the mistake of going on Reddit as a new keeper and instantly thought I was doing everything wrong. I came back here so fast 😂
I'm glad you like it here!
Wow, they're all gorgeous, but I think the second one out was my favourite. And Kent's snake is lovely too, such a pretty little thing.
How was I ever scared of them? They're precious!
Thanks Leese! I'm so glad you're getting over that fear :-)
@@GreenRoomPythons Getting there. The baby BPs are cute as anything but I wasn't so sure about the massive rat snake I was confronted with when I walked round the corner in the reptile shop. To be fair he was standing up (can snakes stand?!) and waving himself around at the glass at the time so that was a bit intimidating; The Inspector is definitely cuter when he does it.
What a gorgeous clutch!!! That last one is spectacular!! As far as the worst way to find out what your snake is would be to ask Kent. Lol! But his diagnosis are hilarious😂
🐍❤️🐍
Thanks Lori! You're right, Kent is a terrible person to ask!
A fascinating episode - well worth watching several times. We are far from being morph experts, but the variety shown in this clutch is awesome, and it was fun to see the effects of the different morphs and to apply them to our snakes. For example now we know what aspects of Sarge's look are due to him being a pastel. Thanks for the great content as always!
Glad you liked this one Keith! I was a little worried about it being too long but I figured the people who watch my channel a lot will enjoy the length ;-)
I love that last one. His head reminds me of a Skull Crawler from the King Kong/Godzilla universe, which I love!!
And please get Kent's snake an inhaler for crying out loud 🤪🤣
Snake inhaler is on order!
I love all the little babies!!! And I’m so excited to see Amy with her little girl! I love her little name and everything! This clutch has me drooling!
New video idea! Future Bob reacts and roasts old Bob’s videos 😅
Hahahaaaaa! Future Bob is such a sasshole.
@@amybentley1291 omg yes he really is!!! Well said!
Thanks Taylor! Amy sure picked out a good one. I love your future Bob segment idea!
Great video Bob, beautiful clutch and well said about internet trolls. Appreciate the positivity you bring to the reptile community!
Thanks so much!
i think all of your FW's are Spotnose. the 1st- by the headstamp, how black dorsal is, & horiz. yellow on the sides. the Pastel- by the headstamp. Pastel Enchi FW's have more defined headstamp with the eyebands & connect the neck.
The stripe/pattern on most freeway combos is darker, once you start throwing brightening genes in a lot of the freeways maintain the darker colours whereas Highway washes it out. Lovely video as always
Glad you liked the video! That's right freeway combos tend to be brighter as the snake ages.
Great job Bob! Such a beautiful clutch and I can't wait for my little girl!
She just took her first meal a couple nights ago!
@@GreenRoomPythons 😆❤️❤️❤️
Hey Bob
I just wanted to let you know I love your videos I learn so much from them and they are fun to watch
Hope you are having a good day!
Thanks so much for the kind words, I appreciate it! Glad you're enjoying the videos :-)
Great one man ,,,,, I do appreciate to learn about the genetics ,,, A must know for me ,,, I do appreciate these kind of vids ,,, keep emmm rollin '''''
Glad you enjoyed this one!
The member with the extra-long name that needed to be extended off the board had me cracking up😅this channel is so fun
Best kents corner ever 😂 also thanks for the informational video and perfect timing as I was just researching ball python morphs a bit cause I got a mojave pied this past weekend at a reptile expo here in south FL.
Glad you liked it, congrats on the new snake!
Crazy how different they all are. Off topic question, how's that boa doing? Will there be any updates on that in the near future?
He's doing great, yes updates are planned!
delicious n Ron gave u some pretty Lil baby snakes .congrats Bob
Thanks Ava!
Gorgeous babies! All the babies from the Green Room are beautiful.
And sounds like Anya might be growing on Kent, he sounded a little concerned there wasn’t an inhaler for her when he thought she was asthmatic 😂
Lastly, great info as always!
WOW WOW WOW! Congratulations on this absolutely stunning clutch!
Thank you Heather!
Such beautiful snakes! I always forget how small they are when they hatch. Learning ball pyton morphs is super interesting to me, I like how you describe what each gene does as far as patterns and colors go.
Thanks, I'm really happy with his new little ones!
Had my sound turned all way down in bed and thought you said enchi spotnose asshole, I was like poor guy he can't be that bad. ❤
🤣🤣
Wow. Excellent clutch! It's fun to go over each snake from each clutch. 😀
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Great Video! Just picked up a YB double het dreamsicle for my fire pied.
Congrats!
We need 10 more videos like this please! ❤😊
I'm glad you liked it!
You and I both will have to arrange a meeting with “past Bob” and speak with him about all the confusion🤨BTW, Dave at Muscle Serpents is a beast with identifying morphs!!!! He has some of the most amazing Ball Pythons on the market!!!
When should i move my ball python to a bigger enclosure? Mine is a baby female of about 180g, at the moment i keep her in a tub 30x20cm, the other enclosure i have to move her is 80x40x40cm
You can move her whenever you want, just to make sure she has plenty of hiding spots and security
@@GreenRoomPythons ok thankyou so much🥰
Great video: loved seeing the latest clutch. Ron & Delilah must be proud parents (anthropomorphizing, of course).
They look proud when I open their tubs!
So... does a superfire mix well with anything? I have a beautiful superfire male...
Your male will give one copy of the fire gene to every baby and fire looks great with many different morphs.
Oh wow, what a clutch! 🥰 They're all gorgeous!
Thanks Charlene!
Ok but now I want to send you a pic of my lil bal I got my daughter from morph market. Just to test ya! 😉 What a beautiful clutch.
I don't test well 😄
Also, does Kent need some VHS tapes to tape over? I've got some old family home videos I wouldn't mind "accidentally" donating to be taped over.
😄😆I wanna see those!
Awesome video like always my friend! I see you had to use the phone setup since Kent wouldn't get close to the clutch! 😂 Also, that's a very cool clutch! 🤘🏻
Thanks very much! Glad you liked it :-)
Hey I have an off topic question when in your opinion is the best time to handle your snake day or evening my mostly stays in his hide during the day
I usually handle them when they're out, but not always. It just depends on how they react to being brought out of their hide during the day.
Thank you
Great channel! Dave is the man!!
Yeah I really like Dave!
Tried to locate a link to that guy on Zoom’s YT-channel. Since English is not my mother tongue it can sometimes be a bit hard to catch what peopla are saying. Can you please tell the name of his channel, so I can look it up?
Muscle Serpents University
I'm so jealous of your paradox girl! Absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful clutch
Thank you!
Really helpful thanks 🤝
Such a beautiful clutch! 😍
Thank you!
What a beautiful clutch❤❤
Thank you!
Do you recommend heat mats in a wooden enclosure for a ball python or overhead heating or can i do both at the sane tine or is that bad
Overhead heat is best for wooden enclosure. Heat mats do not do well heating through wood
@@GreenRoomPythons thank you
@@GreenRoomPythons what temperature should I keep it has is it different to a heat mat I'm getting a ball python soon
@@mydogmilo7474 definitely watch my ball python care guide so that you understand how to set up your snake. That care guide will give you all the temperatures and humidity parameters that you need
@@GreenRoomPythons okay thanks I love your videos I'll watch it right now
They found it's not neurological the wobble that is in the spider gene I hear. Is that true?
Yeah it's not neurological It's malformation in the cranium that creates an imbalance. It's still a defect though it's just not affecting the brain.
Morph Market Community forums are also a decent place to go ask for help on morphs and other stuff. Might not always get your answer but generally theres some smart people hanging around. And not as bad a chance of running into someone with a toxic ego problem as FB or Reddit.
That's a good point, thanks for adding this!
On Golden Pond is a solid film ❤😂
Great info appreciate ya
Thank you!
Hi Bob and of course Kent. I am a new ball python owner. I have been setting up a bio active terrarium starting in the beginning of November. I used a lot of ideas from the inspectors set up including a subterranean warm hide. I finally decided that my set up was perfect, so I picked up baby albino from my local reptile shop February 3rd . I have watch almost all of your videos looking for answers to all my questions and I have found almost all of them. I fed my snake a little rat pup a couple of days ago, and I still haven’t seen seen him hang out in the warm hide for more than a couple minutes at night. He has only really been hanging out on the cold side and he has even dug his own little hid under his cold hide. Is that okay? Also i haven’t seen him drinking any water? The first two nights he was climbing all over the branches and sniffing the water but no drinking. I changed the water, but it just looks like he hasn’t touched it because it was so clean. I know you are busy but I would love a reply. Thank you Bob and Kent! You guys are the best, love all your videos!
Congrats on your new snake. They'll hang out at whatever temperature they're comfortable in. The cold side is totally fine. You will rarely see your snake drink water. Some ball pythons rarely drink water and get their fluid from the food that they eat. Some will drink but you won't catch it very often. Sounds like your snake is doing well.
Yeah I am really happy to finally have one, my daughter named him Wensleydale. She really likes Wallace and Gromit, she thought it fits perfect because of the white and yellow color. I have been dying to get one sense November but I am a perfectionist and could not buy one if I didn’t have an amazing set up. All the credit goes to you and your great videos. Also I know that the inspector has room in his substrate to burrow and dig. Has the inspector ever dug a hole that you couldn’t get him out of? That’s what Wensleydale is kinda doing right now 😮. It’s been 3 days sense he ate so I wanted to handle him. He was maybe halfway out but still Under his hide, I lifted his hide and reached in from behind like you recommend and softly grabbed the closest to the middle I could,but he just retreated back under. And He has dug under this log and in between a plant so he is really wedged under there. Unless he comes 80% out of his burrow he can just pull himself back under there. Thought? Or any tips that I could try? But I’m guessing just patience?
@@jamesonhunter260 yep just patience. If you fight with him to get him out and handle him he's not going to have a good experience so it's just going to take some patience and time
Thank you so much Bob! You are #1
Hey...On Golden Pond is a good movie! 😅 Tape over sportsball.
I wish you had told him that last week.
I have a black head, enchi fm she is a grumpy girl but still a baby . Obsessed with your channel
That's a great combo. Glad you're enjoying the channel!
Do you at least a little bit agree that the last snake is somewhat reminiscent of a spider - the patterning has a look as though there are lots of eyes on it’s little head, no? No legs, however…. I digress. Cool video, Bob!! I love the babies
I do agree! Totally looks like a bunch of tiny eyes on his head. Good call!
I think we can add another name to the list of quality herpetology vids/blogs we now have N.E.R.D , Wickens wicked reptiles , Clint's reptiles , snake Discovery, dav Kaufman, camp Keenan and green room pythons
Thanks very much! I love all those channels
Great video I'd definitely like to get one of ur ball python 🐍 to add to my collection
I'll have more clutches available this year :-)
@@GreenRoomPythons how do I get a hold of u to see what u have for sale ...what's the best way to get in touch I should say
@@OrganicHomeBudz My waiting lists for clutches come from Pateron. If you sign up at any level on the Green Room Pythons Patreon page, you'll get notifications when I'm putting a waiting list together. I currently have one snake from this clutch and two from a clutch that hatched last year available and I'm nearing the end of this current waiting list.
Also, I always get messages if you message me on Patreon, but you can also email greenroompythons@gmail.com
Lol, ASK DAVE. Been watching Dave palumbo for years (RXMUSCLE) didn't know he had a snake channel. he's always offering his mates on the show a job cleaning out the snakes
Yep he's a good guy!
The first hatchling looks very much like my new juvenile ball python. But his father was a fire enchi and his mother a pastel so maybe he has enchi in him too? Idk, maybe.
But they said he is a pastel so yeah.
Yes that 1st hatchling is Enchi, YB/asphalt. No pastel in that one though
1. Future Bob continues to make me jealous of his headware
2. Glad Anya is doing OK - especially with her “asthma” 😂 ( im allowed to have a fave snake right?)
3. Thank you as alwasy.
I'm glad you like Anya and those hats! Yes you can totally have a favorite snake ;-)
Hi bob if I show you a picture of my two ball python's could u give there genetics
My phone attempted to register your google command to turn off my reptile room lights 😂
Hey, are you an actor? You look like the guy I seen in the Biggest Spider movie. It's either you or your brother Kent.
Yes, good eye! I was the hospital administrator in that movie ;-)
@@GreenRoomPythons 😎
Kent... Bahahahahaha😂😂😂
It's funny you said "so this is "just" with a 3x morphed snake heh
😄😁
I may be the only person who doesn't care what my particular snake may be for a morph. I just know he was cute and he's active.
My ball python frank looks just like frank he's just darkerI think he's some sort of enchi That's what I was told but thank you for this video All your snakes are Amazing ✨👍❤️
Thanks, glad you liked the video!
All of them are beautiful 🤩
Thank you!
On Golden Pond!!!!!!
Right? ;-)
Good video as always had me laughing is some parts 🤣 iv been watching royal balls as well on UA-cam and he explains what's in baby snakes really well if anyone is struggling check, him out if you haven't done already
Agreed, Rob is a great resource!
My girl Zeldris is a wild type but she has a head stamp, blushing and graniting too so idk how I can tell
Wild type ball pythons are extremely variable so a lot of times people think that they have something else in their normal ball python when it's often just a really pretty normal. You might find something that looks like your snake though as you research different morphs.
@@GreenRoomPythons would it help if you knew what a bean shaped head stamp means?
@@adudewholikesgunpla No, most of the time you can't tell a morph just from describing a headstamp. Again they're super variable.
We took in a “super pastel het sunset” as a favor (honestly didn’t care about the genes) and my wife noticed he periscopes more than normal. We have 2 spider combos one with orientation issues and another with gazing. So she went on FB to get a second opinion and immediately her post was taken down for saying the words spider wobble. Then she was able to repost asking about poss spider complex and someone immediately ripped her apart saying “spider isn’t a complex” then it just turned into an allelic argument. Just pure nonsense.
Can someone explain why "morph" is the correct term as opposed to "gene"? Isn't a "morph" the result of a "gene"? Or is it that a "morph" can contain multiple "genes" so using the term "gene"- as in a single gene isn't the correct terminology? Maybe I am overthinking this...
Also.... I am curious about she'd testing. Is the DNA found in sheds used to determine genetics in the same way those human DNA companies work? They use similarities of knowns to help determine genetics, right? Is she'd testing still in the development phase? Should people contribute to help that development or is there potentially a better way to come?
A gene or a series of genes are what creates a morph. The "morph" Is the phenotypic result - the change in color and pattern that we see... Shed testing is still in development but there are many morphs that can be tested for at this point.
Future Bob is too hard on Present Bob. We all have lapses in intelligence. It happens.
He's a little rough on me right???
I had no clue that you knew Dave I bought my snake from him but I started watching him because of working out and steroids and all that other bullshit that comes with it anyways I literally wear your green room pythons hat to work everyday. I only knew Dave for working out I didn't know that he owned snakes or took care of snakes but I ordered from another company and they literally didn't mail it to me and then said that they did and I was freaking out like where was it and then they just refunded my money Then I realized that Dave actually dose this for a living I somehow found his other channel even though I didn't know he did that I only watched his bodybuilding stuff
🥰💐🐍💐🥰
meant Delilah.
My cats and snake are so weird. Neither could care about the other. They have had accidental interaction and both are like whatever
That's lucky! I've heard a lot of horror stories about cats killing snakes.
All I hear is blah blah blah Enchi, blah blah blah pinstripe blah blah pastel, freeway, octopus spot, buckwheat, banana, solar cat...moon poo....sunset, rocky road
Lol 😂
I think hognose genetics are so much easier.
Yeah, it all works the same as hognose. It's just a matter of getting used to understanding what those morphs mean :-)
@@GreenRoomPythons It doesn't seem like anyone describes what to look for in the morphs. Just says this one is Enchi but doesn't describe what makes it Enchi.
I could be partly that I just have a stronger interest in hognose so I look into it more.
Also, ball pythons have so many more possible morphs!
@@Upper_echelon_exotics Yeah that's how it is with anyone, you know the morphs of the snakes that you're interested in but other ones just sound like Greek. There are more morphs in ball pythons than any other snake so it's a lot to wrap your head around and if you're not into ball pythons there's no reason to learn it :-)
@@GreenRoomPythons I don't even plan to own or breed ball pythons but I still think it would be nice if I could understand at least some of what people are talking about when they are talking about ball pythons.
Although The Inspector kinda makes me want to change my mind about owning one as a pet. He's so cute!
I mostly watch your channel because of your personality and some stuff you talk about can be used for different snake species.😊
@@Upper_echelon_exotics Glad you like the channel! Yeah I think a large amount of what I talk about is "snakes in general" or at least Pythons in general. I just have a lot of ball pythons so I use them as examples ;-)
