Chris, your channel is a dream-come-true window into the complexities of the Ball Python morphs. I keep coming back to your channel because it is refreshing and simply amazing. Thanks for taking the time!
ugh axanthic is such an amazing gene lol that is another one I am waiting for the price to drop on lol but yeah wow this video had a lot of great axanthic combos!
Love this gene ! Honestly I feel like you can add it to anything and it just enhances the snake and morphs it already has - in one of my videos I talk about the pied like this - at the end of the day a snake being pied just makes the snakes better - to me at least haha
I work heavy with the pied and clown gene. Other Co/Dom morphs included... Anything pied or clown will hold value and interest..I just got pied Vpi dbl 100% recessive to shoot for a lightning lied then work clown into that...either way. Anything pied clown or ax will always be of interest
This is probably my favorite videos of yours, as I'm starting to dip my toes into the axanthic pied project, using VPI. I have a VPI female juvenile I'm raising up and in another year or so gunna look for a het male. Either double het, or either axanthic het pied or pied het axanthic.
Lol I just watched this while in a waiting room. I had the volume all the way down so I turned on the CC so I could read it. I'm glad I can make out what you actually said like "read A's anthing" instead of red axanthic lol it was kinda funny.
That will take a while breeding a True Ghost that way. You'll have to use the Hets from the first generation. I bought a pair of True Ghosts off The Snake Keeper to get around this and save me some time making true ghost combos. I have a bunch of microscales and plan on making a microscale True Ghost then a scalesless True Ghost.
I have a few snakes from Michael Jolliff. .I have a sick 0.1 Jolliff Tiger 100% het pied and Vpi poss Jolliff axanthic.. I pick up a 1.0 litter mates this weekend to consist of same gene pool. I also have a Jolliff line Monocle Cobra and am inquiring about a lucy male for her from him now
we have a a funny ways of naming genes in the ball python hobby. Axhantic litterraly means " lack of yellow pigment" so what we name red axhantic should be called Anerytheristic ( Anery) like in the corn snake hobby. As a owner of several VPI axanthic snakes, the snakes you shown are really extreme and non common visual of this gene ( maybe even a little bit of color enhancement involved ) . as they grown, the brown show up and adult are most of the time of a faded normal color. Altough, I'd love to see how a double line axhantic would be .
In October 2019, there was a Double Het VPI and Jolliff axanthic + Pastel Bamboo female for sale on MorphMarket born at 3D Reptiles. She just looked as a Pastel Bamboo. She is sold now and unfortunately I have not kept any photo of her.
Axanthics are in my top 3 favorite. I have a Male Female pair of true Ghosts from the snake keeper.They are easily a couple of the best looking snakes in my collection. I have a project going where I am going to add the microscale gene and clown gene to them. Triple recessive and set up to take the scales off and produce a scaleless one.
Thank you for doing this video, I have a female pastel het jolliff and a male het jolliff and its hard to find stuff on the line. I planned on spending some time with the line and trying to make some amazing things in the future.
Chris i watched your video and you said a lesser & Mojave you get a white snake blue eye Lucy. On Morphmarket that what you get. But on World of pythons it says on get normal why is that?
Hello I just fed my snake and while I was feeding it a little bit of aspen bedding got on the mouses tail, I didn’t want to get the bedding off cause I was worried about the snake having trouble getting it down since the mouse was already halfway in, can this be harmful to the snake?
ItzSweatz omg you did not let this happen you have to rush him/her to your nearest ball python emergency room the last thing you want is a ruptured sphincter it’s not good
Chris Hardwick okay well the other comment kinda scared me lol.........if bedding gets on it next time when I feed it should I try to take the bedding off?
Joseph Vaughan I didn’t get it off Joseph cause I was afraid it would hurt the snake because the mouse was halfway in already when the bedding got on it
@@itzsweatz4298 I think he's just trolling you. Your snake will be fine, it's normal for them to injest a little debris while feeding. Maybe try coco chips.They're bigger pieces and less likely to be injested
Hi Chris,I try to find on internet how many time I have to give calcium to my python ball and can't find do you have any information? What nutrition I need to add for better digestion and eggs formulated?
How do I ask you a question directly. I have a African import I have a question about. I know I have to prove it out either way but I was just curious.
Chris Hardwick i was just wondering.I have one that has crazy neck pattern like 1/3 of the snake is a flowed together crazy pattern almost like a cryptic but a little more jumbled up with quite a bit of white coming up from the belly. I mean either way she proved female so at the worst I have a normal with a cool pattern.
I found a axanthic female on craigslist for free. A burn on her snoot but nothing a vet visit and TLC couldn’t fix! I didn’t want to breed her but now I do! Lol All I have is a normal het clown banana enchi male! Lol
I want a lightning pied, but can't justify spending $3,000 on a $30 snake. Might just buy a $300 pied or spider and $300 MJ and spin the wheel of luck.
Not sure you can tell the difference if you don't known what line it is, other than breeding back to other lines and seeing if it's compatible and will give you visuals or hets.
Good question! I think along the years people have popped out a new Axanthic and when breeding to other lines have found it's not compatible, so they give it a new name LOL
Hey Chris, I picked up a male axanthic from TSK recently for a good price. The flip side is, he's darker than most. Would he have potential for breeding any cool colors or is he just going to be more of a cool pet snake? (Python breeding noob)
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures This is the little guy that I got. www.morphmarket.com/us/c/reptiles/pythons/ball-pythons/240615. I was thinking about getting a female Firefly Het Axanthic TSK and seeing what i get. What would you breed him with? Another Axanthic? Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks for the reply Chris, you da man!
Hey Chris, I was wondering if I could ask your opinion on what to pair a male adult with? I'd like to send you a picture of him actually, I know you're busy but can't hurt to ask right :)
has anybody produced a visual that has more than 1 lime of axanthic in it? like double het to double het to make a double dose of axanthic!????? I wonder what that would look like.....
$500...$2000 for a ball python... ; -peeks over at her free ball python plus set up- Okay, To be fair, I was originally looking at some axanthic ball pythons or Pied but a friend was having issues with her rescue and asked me to take him. I offered her money but she was more worried about getting him to eat and remain healthy than anything else. He is a wild type but still very beautiful. No regrets on taking him in. For all the hell that creature has been through, there is is something very adorably sweet about him.
Usually in the ball python industry we don't say 'het' for a co-dominant gene, for example we never would say 'het Pastel'. Although this may be proper terminology in the scientific community.
Chris Hardwick yeah that makes sense tho it seems like a double or possible multiple gene axanthic would be noticeably different than say the vpi or joliff single gene side by side like say you had a vpi a jolliff and a visual vpi jolliff all sitting together side by side it seems like the double would look somewhat noticeably different or else why wouldn’t they be compatible idk I’m sure people have tried it I’m sure your right what you said makes sense kind of but then again if the different lines aren’t compatible it seems they’d have to have a little different look idk they’ve been around for awhile I’m sure someone’s tried to go in that direction and didn’t continue for a reason that’s kind of a weird thing it would be nice to see the proof maybe a triple or quad axanthic and whatever other gene you’d like to throw in make for a insane almost zebra type black and white pattern
I’ve been asking this for a few years. Guess it’s up to me to find out. Lol I truly don’t think itt will do anything crazy but that’s wht I said about ghi. Lol
Chris, your channel is a dream-come-true window into the complexities of the Ball Python morphs. I keep coming back to your channel because it is refreshing and simply amazing. Thanks for taking the time!
JDconstrictors axanthics are so pretty, unfortunately they're 20 grand
$20k unless they flood the market with em
Axanthics are what got me into ball pythons I really hope one day they come down in price so I can own one
Yes
ugh axanthic is such an amazing gene lol that is another one I am waiting for the price to drop on lol but yeah wow this video had a lot of great axanthic combos!
Taevian's World of Reptiles! Recessives don’t really drop bc it’s so hard to get other genes I could sell you one lmk !
Love this gene ! Honestly I feel like you can add it to anything and it just enhances the snake and morphs it already has - in one of my videos I talk about the pied like this - at the end of the day a snake being pied just makes the snakes better - to me at least haha

Sean Kearney I work with exactly the same thing - I have a killer leopard clown pied girl coming my way soon - I can’t wait !
Just got my 0.1 and 1.0 pastel axanthic tsk line so happy can't wait to get some more Gene's into the mix.
This is probably my favorite videos of yours, as I'm starting to dip my toes into the axanthic pied project, using VPI. I have a VPI female juvenile I'm raising up and in another year or so gunna look for a het male. Either double het, or either axanthic het pied or pied het axanthic.
Such a cool morph
The VPIs are definitely my favorite. They just look so cool
Wow, I was not expecting to be "the question of the day. " I was just looking for information. Thank you.
Lol I just watched this while in a waiting room. I had the volume all the way down so I turned on the CC so I could read it. I'm glad I can make out what you actually said like "read A's anthing" instead of red axanthic lol it was kinda funny.
Ausome topic brother, gorgeous axantics ✨definitely VPI or SK lines
These are my dream snakes. Love them
I want to make True Ghost with my Ghost and Axanthic! Definitely on my shopping list.
That will take a while breeding a True Ghost that way. You'll have to use the Hets from the first generation. I bought a pair of True Ghosts off The Snake Keeper to get around this and save me some time making true ghost combos. I have a bunch of microscales and plan on making a microscale True Ghost then a scalesless True Ghost.
I just bought a male lightning pied from billy at MC that I'll be using to prove out my adult female 66% dh mj pied later this year. Pretty excited!!
Lightning piednis my favorite combo right now..
I have a few snakes from Michael Jolliff. .I have a sick 0.1 Jolliff Tiger 100% het pied and Vpi poss Jolliff axanthic.. I pick up a 1.0 litter mates this weekend to consist of same gene pool. I also have a Jolliff line Monocle Cobra and am inquiring about a lucy male for her from him now
Another great learning video!
i love that high contrast like the firefly axantic, it looks like a desert ghost without color.
Thanks for sharing ❤

My baby ball python hasn't shed for 2 month, is that normal?
Yes, that's normal.
The Spider Axanthic photo was altered... you can tell because his tongue is gray too...
What is the best line of axanthic for your opinion?
What is the best axanthic for making some black ballpython? The strongest
Really enjoyed this vídeo axanthic y my favorite morph
Where do people send you merch and correspondence?
Can u breed a blue eye Lucy with any axanthic or blue aye Lucy is axanthic?
The MJ was the first axanthic pied.
Chris i watched your video and you said a lesser & Mojave you get a white snake blue eye Lucy. On Morphmarket that what you get. But on World of pythons it says on get normal why is that?
They must have a glitch, it's a white snake.
l have an 100% het for Axanthic Coastal carpet python and l cant wait to breed him when he is old enough, l love the Axanthics personally.
You’re the MAN Chris!!!

Hi Chris,I try to find on internet how many time I have to give calcium to my python ball and can't find do you have any information? What nutrition I need to add for better digestion and eggs formulated?
Ball pythons get all the calcium they need from their food.
Dont give them any supplements.
The only supplement I give my ball python is glucosamine and chondroitin hip dysplasia can be horrible as the get older
Are moonglow boas common in colorado I have a female she's about 2 1/2 feet
Awesome video!
How do I ask you a question directly. I have a African import I have a question about. I know I have to prove it out either way but I was just curious.
You can leave a comment here under a video and I'll see it. An African Import is usually just a normal, more of a Dinker project.

Axantic clowns are a New hatch Of Always Evolving Phytons But the Banana Axantic is awesome
Was thinking about getting into the clown VPI axanthic project myself. I’ve got the 100% het VPI.
Your kinda like a snake genius.
What axanthic lines are not compatible??
I found a axanthic female on craigslist for free. A burn on her snoot but nothing a vet visit and TLC couldn’t fix! I didn’t want to breed her but now I do! Lol All I have is a normal het clown banana enchi male! Lol
I want a lightning pied, but can't justify spending $3,000 on a $30 snake. Might just buy a $300 pied or spider and $300 MJ and spin the wheel of luck.
have you tried mixing substrates? maybe half coconut and half kilned pine will keep up the humidity, kill the smells and not get fungus gnats.
That's a great idea!
Them Banana Axanthics are Rad 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful
I have a question about the Josie morph? How can you identify one and why are they so rare?
Not sure you can tell the difference if you don't known what line it is, other than breeding back to other lines and seeing if it's compatible and will give you visuals or hets.
NERD has it's own line of Axanthic now. I haven't seen on Morphmarket yet and I don't know if it works with any other live e yet.
Its gorgeous anything from Kevin is gorgeous he puts out nothing but quality always the brightest lines come outta nerd..
why are there so many different lines, what is the history of this?
Good question! I think along the years people have popped out a new Axanthic and when breeding to other lines have found it's not compatible, so they give it a new name LOL
I have clown pastel blade female het vpi ax and a vpi ax het clown male , axanthinc het pied female , and axanthic female breeder
Hey Chris, I picked up a male axanthic from TSK recently for a good price. The flip side is, he's darker than most. Would he have potential for breeding any cool colors or is he just going to be more of a cool pet snake? (Python breeding noob)
I would breed him!

I ended up finding an axanthic at PetCo, so I assume there is no way of knowing what line it is?
Probably not unless you breed it into other axanthics to see if it's compatible.
Hey Chris, I was wondering if I could ask your opinion on what to pair a male adult with?
I'd like to send you a picture of him actually, I know you're busy but can't hurt to ask right :)

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Thank you! www.morphmarket.com/us/c/reptiles/pythons/ball-pythons/312487
Bobby don't need no stinking axanthic genes
would it be possible to get the axanthic pied combo with one of the non MJ lines of axanthic?
You should be able to get an axanthic pied with any line of axanthic.
has anybody produced a visual that has more than 1 lime of axanthic in it? like double het to double het to make a double dose of axanthic!????? I wonder what that would look like.....
Not that I know of, would be pretty hard to really know what you have unless you bred them out.
When doing banana X axanthic will you still get the banana spotting?
To me it looks like the Axanthic cuts down on the spots.
There's 7 now
Woot
$500...$2000 for a ball python...

Het red axanthic is not a misnomer. Heterozygous just means there's one copy of a gene and homozygous means 2 cops.
Usually in the ball python industry we don't say 'het' for a co-dominant gene, for example we never would say 'het Pastel'. Although this may be proper terminology in the scientific community.
Have you use reptile prime I use it and it works great
Too expensive on a large scale, but I wouldn't mind trying a free sample LOL
Well we're in for a treat 🍨
I wonder what a double or triple or even quad axanthic look like have you ever seen even a double axanthic maybe that would be an interesting project?
The problem is if you hit one or another or both visuals you may not even know what you have.
Chris Hardwick yeah that makes sense tho it seems like a double or possible multiple gene axanthic would be noticeably different than say the vpi or joliff single gene side by side like say you had a vpi a jolliff and a visual vpi jolliff all sitting together side by side it seems like the double would look somewhat noticeably different or else why wouldn’t they be compatible idk I’m sure people have tried it I’m sure your right what you said makes sense kind of but then again if the different lines aren’t compatible it seems they’d have to have a little different look idk they’ve been around for awhile I’m sure someone’s tried to go in that direction and didn’t continue for a reason that’s kind of a weird thing it would be nice to see the proof maybe a triple or quad axanthic and whatever other gene you’d like to throw in make for a insane almost zebra type black and white pattern
Are there any Axanthic lines that aren’t recessive?
Just the red axanthic, it's a co-dom.
6:03
Which axanthic holds best into adulthood? Anyone can answer! :-)
I think there are good and bad lines of all axanthics.
Has anyone combined two Axanthic genes? Such as vpi x tsk then breeding male offspring back to mom.
I've never seen anyone do it
I’ve been asking this for a few years. Guess it’s up to me to find out. Lol I truly don’t think itt will do anything crazy but that’s wht I said about ghi. Lol
I think my dream ball python would be a whitewash but I can't find any
👍😎👌
Are different lines of Axantics Allylic?
No, not really, you'll get double hets. With an allylic combo it's usually two co-doms that act like a super.
I neeD a line
First again!!!😀😀
Close!
First
OH YEA
I have a Pastel het VPI Axanthic and a Black Head Mojave HRA.
