Jesus those boas look massively stressed out.
Awesome video!!!! Rock on Dana!!! It’s awesome to see you out there doing the dang thang man! Look forward to the chat this upcoming weekend!!!!
I’m in the same boat with NFI. I like it a lot, but need to see where it goes for a while. Joe is a great guy though. I have two boas from him.
100%. I want to see how they develop, and I personally don’t like playing the new morph game. It’s too high stress trying to get invested money back and sucks the fun out of it in my opinion.
would you consider sd retics? there is no guarantee on size but the parents will generally give you a good idea of what to expect.
If I were personally going for SDs, I’d just get carpets or diamonds. I like them, just not for me anymore.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles I want a bredli. Would be a cool pet.
I was super skeptical but this video is legitimately so good at explaining and covers so many factors.
Thank you! If you haven’t check your the most recent videos, make sure to give them a watch! We’re ramping up production value and overall quality.
Out these 5 boas size and girth rate top to bottom 1 being the largest. Nicaragua boas , hog island boas, pearl island boas, emerald basin's boas, Brazilian rainbow boa? I know there all arboreal. Can any of these breeds mix?

Which is more likely to appear larger pearl islands Nicaraguan or hog island boas at 6-7 adults which will be bulky thicker than other ? And a 5-6 ft gallon tank should suit my adult ? Also hear they love climb and are bird eaters do they eat adult pigeons, dove's ? And can they do well on lizards too mix with rodent's? Also will they eat squirrels?

They should all be able the same. They likely won’t eat lizards, and I wouldn’t feed things like birds or lizards unless they are captive bred prey for the purpose of feeding. Too many parasite and potential diseases from the wild animals.
Hi man I just got my male pearl Burmese phyton and your past videos helps me a lot. It alters my perspective about boas and burms. People just make them intimidating by powerfeeding and turn the muscular snake into obese. Thanks a lot
Congrats on the new addition and thank you for the support on the channel!
@@JasonsExoticReptiles Thanks man I'd still watching your videos about them even though I've already watched and I will apply all the stuff that I've learned from it
Bro what is that thing
Haha. Those are its spurs. Remnants of legs.
Love this style video
been out of the US and moving around too much and out of the hobby for the past 5 years. This reminds me how much I miss going to the expos. Thanks for this bit of nostalgia.
Thanks for checking it out! Need to find one near you and give it a look.
Nice video Jason!
Thank you!
My man Robert Euvino huge hug brother its good to see you
Thank you. Rob is huggable.
No, the market is fucking booming right now. Atleast in Colorado
Thanks excellent.
Really like the vlog style. Great to see Groveland Gecko in the video also. I sorta disagree on having the enclosure set up before you buy. In my case, I'm glad I did with my first one because it took a bit to get dialed in before it was suitable for an animal. So at least on your first animal, if nothing else at least have a plan for the enclosure. But that's my experience, I know everyone is different.
Thank you! And I agree that it’s really dependent on experience and level of comfort. I’ve had people buy animals from me and have me hold them for a month or two before they receive so they can get everything perfect, and I’ve also had people buy and set things up on the way home. I had someone buy and animal from me at this show, but I literally walked around the show with them and got them everything the needed. All they needed to do was plug in.
Great video! Do you ever come to any Long Island reptile expos? I’d love to see your snakes in person. I love the class and professionalism you bring to breeding/the hobby. Your videos are a master class on boas.
Thank you! I will occasionally attend, but I don’t vend the NY expos. The promoters give a hard time to get in them as a vendor and you also need a NY business license which adds another level to doing taxes. I don’t do enough shows for me to justify the hassle of the NY business license.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles that’s a shame! I didn’t realize NY gave people such a hard time.
This the man right here!! I was hesitant at first but so glad I bought that boa I’m loving the guy
Thanks man! I appreciate it! Very happy to hear everything’s going well. I’m always here if you have questions. IG/FB is the best way to get me if you do!
@@JasonsExoticReptiles it’s going super well! Handling often, eating great, went through first shed about a week ago. I’ll reach out if I never need help with something!
Awesome to hear.
oh man! I just bought an NFI IMG boa from Joe at REXPO, what a great guy. So cool to see him standing next to one of my favorite snake youtubers!
I’ve been watching the NFI stuff, but I want to see where it goes and how prices level before I figure out if I want to get into it.
Did u see tony pizza there. I heard he was there begging for cash apps to pay for his propane
Lmao. I did not
Okay King, I dig the ring.
Hah. I saw it and had to have it.
Much honor to you for helping put the names out for people who are getting started and support the hobby. That is about the most unself-ful approach you can have, putting the spotlight on them. Great video..
Thank you! I feel like the new breeders trying to do a good job are the future of the hobby. Their success is critical to continued growth of reptiles.
I love the new videos.
Thank you!
love those signs haha
Thank you!
THANK YOU!!!
my ball python girl is active. Unless she is digesting a big meal she is climbing up a fake tree to reach an ambush position, cruising around, visiting her different hides, ambushing the spot where the terrarium opens😂 and so on. Fun to watch. BUT all this activity takes place between 1a.m. and 4a.m. She is strictly nocturnal and will not come out if there is light in the room.If she is out she graciously tolerates light though. I wonder how many ball python owners complaining about their "living stone" just miss everything because they go to sleep at 11 p.m.....
Beautiful ❤❤😊😊
Are you making any more black milk snakes?
Waiting for my female to drop eggs. Hopefully good ones in the next few weeks.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles that’s awesome! I am trying to get one for my birthday Aug 20th and would love to have one. Is there anyway to stay up to date on this? It’s been a dream of mine to have one young and work with it to be very docile from a young age and love on it, but it’s hard to find them as babies.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles that’s awesome! I hope it all goes well! Is there a waitlist or something I can stay updated on?
How to tame a puppy noodle
This and many other channels lead me to purchase my first boa (have snakes). He's a lipstick hypo baby and he's beautiful.
Thank you!
Hello me and my father had found a baby wild borneo short tail snake and we are planning to keep it. It has been 3 days ever since. We had pressed the snake's head few times but after watching this, I'm wondering that after we treated our snake wrong, can we really fix their perspective towards us being a predator to them? would it take a long time for them to relieve their stress and then finally we can train them again? would the training methods be different? I'm very sorry for the long comment, I really cant rest well knowing I've treated my snake wrong :( please help
Excellent video and excellent advice! Setting yourself apart and knowing how to talk to people is definitely key. This awesome guy came to my table yesterday talking about trying to figure out what kind of snake he wanted bc he wanted something that was engaging but stayed small. We talked for a good 40 minutes and he didn't buy anything yesterday bc he wanted to prepare more but I'm certain he will come back to me when he's ready bc we talked about so much to do with boa care and i got him hooked on them!
1000%. If the discussions are only to make a sale and not help people find the perfect animal for them, the breeders/seller generally do not do well in the long term. What you did is exactly what I do. There are times where I could force a sale and I know I could make one, but I would rather the person walk away, knowing that it was their decision and they got the animal that they wanted rather than the animal that I sold them.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles exactly! I actually wound up selling my crb to a really awesome person who had never heard of them before. It was a perfect fit too bc the crb would routinely bite me so I gave them a heads up that that was a distinct possibility and the CRB really liked them and never so much as thought about it. Perfect fit is the end goal always!
I agree with you
Normal ❤
Hard to beat, which is exactly why I have them!
Great video, Jason. A lot of people get into breeding without being keepers first, or doing sufficient research and planning. Keep’em coming.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you!
Unfortunately this hobby has not been viewed as a hobby, but as business and the passion has been swapped out by $$$
This is a great video. I'm immediately sending it to as many people as I can so they can understand better where everything is. "Reptile collection", "Investment snakes", etc have all hurt the way we talk about the "reptile hobby". "If you just need a business then start something else" is solid advice. You can see many people, especially as discussed coming out of stimulus checks and spare time, showing up with snakes and expecting cash. No personal website. No branding. No animal management. Three KZread videos of "education". Many are confused why nothing is moving when the market is no longer in the pandemic era animal hoarding mode - if no one is buying then obviously no one is selling and dumping collections just cuts the value. Vicious circle.
I appreciate the shares and 100%! My sales are still very strong and this year seems no different than any other year. At the same time, I know others who can’t sell anything, but they have done nothing to promote themselves! They barely have social media, they don’t post in Facebook groups, and nobody knows who they are.
would 10-15% of body weight be acceptable ? I like to weigh them every few feeds and then just give them around 10% of total mass in frozen , I keep a small higher end stock and want them perfect, would love to hear your thoughts, sometimes I dont see a lump with 10%, sometimes I do?
I’ve never weighed snakes or the rats so I can’t really speak on that. Wish I could give you some input, but I just don’t know the answer.
Am I a snake breeder? No Did I watch this whole video? Yes 😊
Haha thank you! Hopefully you still find it interesting and helpful!
What if a phyton bitten you and it doesnt pull out the bite what will you do not to stress your pet more and make the snake pull out the bite by themselves freely without stress?
Even though they sell their animals in the auction on morph market they're getting their money because they're not losing anything because you still have to pay that $200 shipping ya look at the auction and you'll see it $200 or $300 shipping they're still getting their money
Hey man, lotta good points here, especially for some of us getting started in this side of the hobby. On another topic, how is the BIC project going? Longicauda gotta be my personal favorite Boa.
Thank you! What is the BIC project?
@JasonsExoticReptiles Sorry! Meant it as in have you had any luck with pairing/breeding your Longicauda One of my personal favorites in the boa family and what I'm actually looking at picking up as my next snake(s).
Also, no sharp edges on holes.😊
1st and the 4th one I like them all but those 2 are my favorites! I just love my 3 Nicaraguan boas 2 females an a male!❤❤
❤️🔥
Ok I like the use of the burner to melt the holes. Looks to be a lot easier than a drill lol
No cracked tubs either.
What about the person (like me) that picked up a mid/high value female as a pet. (Img motley t1 anery 100% het kahl) gorgeous and awesome personality. I was thinking in a year or two getting a male. Still not sure what type. I want what I like and… they’re not cheap. Labyrinth jungle, scoria fire is what I’m looking at. I’d be fine keeping all babies for 1-2-3 years but, eventually they’ll need a permanent home. I wouldn’t consider myself “a breeder” to go and brand a logo or anything. But, I also wouldn’t wanna let them go for less than they’re worth either… what would you suggest in this situation? Btw, that anery blood in the beginning of this vid 😍 yes please
That’s a very long answer. Question because I would have so many follow-up questions. I actually think people like yourself are the majority of the market selling online right now. That’s not a bad thing. However, the animals that you are buying and will be producing are also some of the hardest animals to sell if you have no reputation. Typically, you want to build a reputation off of the less expensive animals so that you can get the trust of people who may be sending you thousands of dollars and don’t know you at all. A few things you may want to consider is do you really want to breed and will this be the only time you breed? Are you ready to house 15 to 30 babies. You may be able to get one or two sold quickly, but the others may be around for a long time. There is a cost and time component to that. You mentioned that they are pets, and there are real risks of breeding. You may end up with one of them dying and you may not get babies. Are you OK with that? If you absolutely want to proceed forward with breeding, you are technically building a small hobby business. And in that case, you still need to treat it like a business or you are going to be sitting on quite a few babies. So it’s a complex question to answer. I’m not pushing my Patreon, but this is exactly the type of stuff that would be perfect for the community chat or a one on one call. We can really get into the weeds of your specific situation and figure out the best thing for you to do. The community is probably best because you will be in grained with other keepers And breeders that may be interested in buying those babies if you have them. So, even if it is going to be a one and done type of deal. You will want to market it to some extent. Even if it’s too a small group like my Patreon. It will at least help build a small reputation amongst a few keepers in breeders that can vouch for you when time comes to sell the babies or they may become potential buyers.
