The "reputable" part needs clarifying. Just bc someone isn't on YT or has 1000 animals, doesn't mean they're not a reputable breeder. Plenty of us on a small scale with tons of experience and know what we're doing. I would say to not just look at "who's got the biggest name out there" but look at the sellers reviews from the community.

While some are really beautiful- I’m not a fan of 4+ gene snakes - let alone adding on het or possible het. It is so confusing and takes so many years to prove out.

@@TJHutchExotics not necessarily.. you can potentially prove a het male in one year. Females take 2-3yr before you can but it's worth the wait if it's going to be something amazing. I just hatched some 4-5 gene animals that are beautiful. Took me a few days to ID them due to 2 genes in the pairing. Granted, there are some amazing 3 gene animals out there but as a breeder you strive to create what's not been done, to push the envelope. It's fun putting powerhouse animals together and seeing the results.

YT breeder really just in it for $

I love your non-accusatory, factual approach to breeding animals. This kind of uncertainty is not uncommon to other rare breeds and morphs of other animals. Thanks for your constant humility.

“The human response” that justin, is a very honest thing to say! And its understandable, if you work so hard on a project, literally for years, as soon as you see something that is something like, then naturally we are going the jump the gun and say that snake is something its not. Its great to see a top breeder acknowledging that fact as this is something the more intermediate level breeder will not even consider. 👌🏼

Justin the reason I love your videos. Is how you explain everything. Nice and slow makes it easier for the new people getting into this industry. Thanks

Thanks Justin. always so insightful and willing to pass the knowledge. We just recently purchased a big 2k plus gram Female proven, but not by us…Arroyo Fire. Turns out she tried her hand at Parthenogenesis. 6 eggs, no slugs. 2 were stillborn. Such a success. They’ve all eaten multiple times n doing amazing. Definitely a head scratcher on what they are lol. Hasn’t had a clutch since 19’ we got er from the second owner that never paired her. Knowing how and where to possible look for ID is so helpful. thanks JKR

I am hopeful that the news about a college taking in snake sheds and figuring out what Gene's are present using there knowledge from starting with bermes and morphs there in.

Thanks as ever Justin. I love point 3, be gracious and patient with the seller & yourself! 🙌🙏

A great video , Always passing on the best information and always so clear about what your speaking about . So even first timers understand what they need to know . Thnak you Justin

It is so confusing and the entire enormity of the Royal Python world is crazy. I started to research the species when I began including them in my behavior studies and it was overwhelming. I am still overwhelmed by the numbers produced and by what the morphs are. Some publications don’t actually describe what the morph looks like, just who discovered it or first reproduced it. It is really helpful to have the color and pattern described so that if there wasn’t a photo you could still visualize it. Your videos are some of the most informative.

This video motivates me to continue learning about ball pythons, it is not easy, but it is up to everyone to improve in all aspects and not just "sell" like crazy

Great video and info, thank you for sharing Justin....👊👊👊👊👊

We are constantly learning , Justin I want to thank you for the projects you have created , you have a great vision when it comes to making morph combos , I just want you to know that alot if not all of us appreciate the work you put in , it truly helps when picking a path for the little guys like me

Great video Justin!

Nice Video thank you for sharing this!!

very well put! totaly pro dude!

I'm learning so much from your channel I had to choose a couple of channel s to learn from and yours is number #1

Well said on all this!! The one thing that is guaranteed is that we are all in this learning together as we go! 😁

Brilliant video! And such and important topic.

This is an awesome video from one of the most respected breeders in the world. So many unknowns in this industry. Even the big dawgs make mistakes. Well said all around!!!! 👊🏼👊🏼

I love people that subscribe to a channel to just come and dislike it! Don't they realize that the dislike helps just as much. Keep up the great work Justin.

Thanks for this video I don't feel so dumb for looking at a clutch and saying huh???? Where did that come from. Always learning.

Honestly, I have been watching snake videos for years and about a week ago I found your videos. You are by far the best viewing platform… information, sequencing, show and tell of the animals, and just overall digestibility of content. Kudos to you for your next level content! Thanks

Excelentes recomendaciones JK. Saludos 🇨🇷🇨🇷

Great video Justin, this is exactly where we can see that normals still have tons of "value" even if the price tag isnt big. The value of learning the variantion that comes naturally in these genes is a key part of this industry and hobby.

Very well put. Genes are hard and mistakes can and will be made. Some great advice along the way as well!

Great video! Stay Safe!

Great class, so many stunning pythons I wished were on screen longer to take a closer look. As always your love for this project comes shining through. Thank you!

@@KINOVAReptiles Ha Ha, you're right. Question, since I'm fairly new to your channel, have you ever done a video/vlog with all your personal favorites through the last twenty years, if not, certainly hope you will think about it.

Thank you very much for the information. I wish I knew half of the information that you and Sean and Brian and a few others are creating videos for the reptile/ball python enthusiast's and beginner breeders. I bought a red stripe het pied girl almost 2 months ago, only to find out when I finally got her, that she is just a reduced pattern normal. Great video it's invaluable.

This video hit home! This is my first year breeding and I’ve done good identifying my first 2 clutches but my third clutch I think I have them identified correctly but not 100% sure.

Yes, feeling this right now. I produced a lot of new combos this year from 5-7 gene pairings and some are so subtle it can be hard to tell if there is another gene or just some variation with the same. Some I can't find any reference for so I am left to make the best determination based on what I know to be there, and then there are the ones that don't make sense from the known genes and seem like something else is in play. I'm trying so hard to be accurate, but it can be so tough once you get 4-5+ genes.

Beautiful babies, Justin. We enjoy your wisdom.

I just hatched out three surprise axanthics from a backcross to a pastel yb or gravel female I bought from you! It’s a lot nicer to find surprise genes than missing ones, but now I have no idea what axanthic strain they are so I’m feeling the message of this video.

Justin, this video is much appreciated! Hearing you, the Ball Python Godfather himself 😆 , say that you misidentified having SN in that combo along with knowing you’ve also bought animals then discovered genes weren’t there…makes me feel better about what I’m doing! 😅 😅 😅 We’ve experienced many ups & downs in this same vein. Recently having more genes in pairings than we expected! 🎉 😁 Thanks for another awesome educational vid, man! 😁 ❤️

Yes to this video. I be so confused sometimes.

Rock on! Anytime I am buying a snake now I ask who bred it, pics of parents, pic of clutch when hatching. Found, especially with adult snakes, the current owner is rarely the one whom bred the animal. Great info, Great vid. Thanks!

Simplemente extraordinario uno de los mejores videos de pitón bola y como aprender un poco de esta hermosa especie y sin duda el mejor criadero del mundo 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good information

Awesome video

Excelente vídeo muy informativo que bueno que tus vídeos ya tengan subtítulos en español saludos desde León Guanajuato México. 😎👍

I spent two years looking combos and what each gene does before buying my first few. I see so many misidentified snakes even on morph market straight up ,I got a few new ones for that World of BP but!!! However I won’t label nor name something til I am definitely sure , I gained a nack for seeing things that aren’t there I believe , my wife says I should stop starring at balls all day lol

Great and informative video 💯💪🏽🔥

THANK YOU for the honesty and clarity. I would live a follow up on the subject that goes over the mutations. There are so many names for things now that are just the same mutation. One might just be a “darker” version. A lot of it seems like some BS…..

@@KINOVAReptiles thanks for the reply! I’m more referring to the Coral Glow vs Banana type of naming conventions. Though I think CG should be it’s own mutation as Bananas have more of that speckling. Maybe more of a things to look out for. I believe some sellers try to “church” things up if you will and might use a different name for a mutation to make it sound better. This happens in the fish keeping hobby all the time. Someone will say “this is the technicolor triple spotted guppy so it’s $40 for a pair” or something like that, when really it’s just a common pattern.

True so true!

You are right; once you start pairing multi-gene snakes it's not necessarily easy for anyone to identify the results. I do think it will be cool for some geneticist to develop a test to prove snakes out, and hope that they eventually make a home test that's inexpensive enough for people to test all their babies.

For sure with all those hidden genes the adults have to be bred to prove out all those hidden genes and sure it's a common issue :) It for sure takes observation and patience and tons of time invested but so well worth the dedication !!

this is where that Genetic Test for balls will be vital down the road

Justin Kobylka. The Man of Gold. Even when he's wrong, he's right! You guys are world class over there man! I thought I'd get brushed off for sure and instead I almost got a tear in my eye when I saw this video! Is it just for me?, or was I the straw that broke the camel's back? ;) It did not escape me that last thumbnail at 1:12 was the SMOKESHOW Vlog 100 Super Od Enchi Yellowbelly Vanilla!, looks like the pre shed pic! Thank you very much for that! Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put that beauty in one hand, and put the snake from the Twinning video, at the 3:30 mark, in your other hand and say again that you think those two are the same snakes? You think that's polymorphism at work there? Of course just an educated guess, of course! It's just to me the one (Vlog 100) looks sooooo much better. That insane fluorescent orange and pink, whereas the other one looks more of a yellow and black.

I bought my very first Ball Python from JKR. Not for breeding and I have NO idea how to tell what the bloodlines are BUT I can tell you that the snake I got is healthy, gorgeous, eating well and an absolute sweetheart of a snake!! The customer service that Summer handles is phenomenal! She is a very important part of the team, for sure.

Uncle Justin Kobylka I am speechless but at the same time wanting to thank you for all that you have learned and shown throughout all these years, the genetic variations that you have achieved with this species are incredible but it is an aspiration for me that I only have only 16 specimens I hope you can send me a greeting and one day get some of your copies I have projects with mojave I have projects with hypo but without a doubt I am left thinking the same as you about what is something infinite in learning and once again thank you very much for putting subtitles In the videos I send you a greeting from Monterrey Mexico

Thank you for this, I a, still trying to learn what patterns make it what. How do you know it is a red stripe, clown, normal pastel, orange dream, spot nose, and so on? Every time I try and look it up, I just find a lot of pictures and not someone pointing out the markings that make the morph.

Every word true lol. I'm forever checking up references to see f I can identify something; the more genes we add the worse it becomes lol.

I tend not to purchase an animal if I cant readily identify the visual genes present. I'm no expert but thats why I avoid the genes I'm not very familiar with.

'Our hope influences our opinions' Justin Kobylka 2021

The babies I hatched out look like they're all pastels, with no pastel in the pairing! Dad definitely looks like he has fire, but one baby (which would have been a twin, if it's eggmate had developed 😞) looks like a Super Enchi YB HGW firefly.... So I'm like whoa...

Its what makes this hobby fun. the unknown

Are there an programs out there trying to catalog the genetic make-up of BP morphs? Or sequencing reptilian DNA period? I’d definitely be interested in getting on board with a project like that. I’m sure most of us would.

Surely this is not mere advice, because based on personal experience & not just theory. 👍👍

Mándame saludos tío Justin

? For you. Do you have any personal ball pythons that you consider as your pet that you keep at home and not I. Your workshop. If not why not?

Dying to know what genes are in the snake at 1:02 ? Looks like the ideal ghost I want to create.
