Why I sold some of my snakes! Ball Python project planning.
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Planning Ball Python breeding projects means you have to make hard decisions. Selling some of your most beautiful adult snakes might be one of them! As a small hobby breeder I need to try to be smart - so here’s what I did…
My Morphmarket : www.morphmarket.com/stores/bp...
Digital Hygrometer: amzn.to/3IxDv0W
Analog Hygrometer: amzn.to/3TdK2TI
Sphagnum Moss: amzn.to/3ThzG5e
For Exo Terra Reptile Caves : amzn.to/3L2GrUr
For plastic hides : amzn.to/43VZcRX
Coco chips: amzn.to/47wk3ff
Digital thermometer: amzn.to/48yvggk
Plastic plants: amzn.to/43aWHLM amzn.to/3Ipy44r
Aquarium suction cups with zip ties: amzn.to/3TeRr5g
When it comes to what snakes you keep long-term, there’s a few things to consider. After all, there’s no point keeping adult breeders that could be helping someone else’s projects, or become prized pets!
In this video we’ll take a look at:
• Why I sold some of my snakes: time, money and care
• The projects I let go, and the one’s I have left
• What actually happens when you downsize
• Why sometimes it’s good to produce less hatchlings: what else you could be doing with your time
• How refocusing can improve your reputation
From this video I hope you’ll see why bad sometimes it’s good to refocus. It might be . That said, they are pretty easy to deal with. As always, please comment or get in touch with any questions!

It was the acid morph that brought me to you, I live in the UK and thinking of getting back into the hobby, and my favourite morphs are acid, clown, pied, and anything dark purple / lilac. Top end I love the kraken project's.

Well I'm glad to have you on board! If you want to get back into the hobby and start with Acid, I will be happy to help with advice and any other way I can. I like the dark purple stuff too. I'm also really curious to see what adding Acid and Black Pastel to some Albino Clown combinations would do. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the shout out . Yes i can see it makes sense to specialise and not end up losing to much of your time . At one point i felt like i had gone overboard with tarantulas but now it's a happy balance since i reduced my schedules a bit . The snakes i have fit in very well with the tarantulas since i can have three snakes out wandering around on the shelves at any one time . As i am feeding and watering other things . It must be hard to let go some of those snakes that you have bred and worked towards .

You're welcome. I don't know how you manage not to go overboard with Tarantulas though! If someone offered me an Arizona Blond or a Pink Toe I'd have a hard time turning it down - even if I don't have the room! And yes it was hard to let some of my snakes go. There's one male that I've had since 2009 though and he won't be going anywhere. Guess that's the different between pets and breeders

@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ That's your big male normal, I assume . He is one impressive snake .

@ballpythonbreeder.co.uk_ Isn't he your original ? Bobby . I have heard others say on videos it's good to keep at least one normal around . Now I have a few others I can see the point as its good to kind of see the other bits in mine . I am still trying to form a good relationship with two of my snakes one had been very shy and the other seems to have become more shy . But it's very funny how they develop such different personalities. 🤣

@@tarantularamblings3149 Yes Bobby is the first one I got after coming back to the UK. I agree that it is always best to keep at least one normal around. Your snakes will probably get less shy with time and gentle handling. I see a lot of stuff about "training" them not to be head shy etc but it's mostly nonsense. Animals with long life spans take time to drop their guard is all. In truth almost all of them get extremely tame after a while - it definitely takes longer for some than others though
