Hey Chris, Me and my son, are named Chris too. We're huge fans of you're channel. We're wanting you're knowledge I just bought a young male spider/pastel/mojave ball for my teenage son today! If I breed it to another Mojave female, what are my chances on getting a BEL, and will the other traits show visuals? Kinda worried about the "head wobble" because of the spider. The snake we bought today, has no wobble. You're thoughts? We're noobs lol 😆
Thank you so much, recently got into ball pythons and wanting to start breeding and at the moment I have a male Ghost Mojave and I’m in the process of getting some females so I’m trying to see what I can produce
Yea, I really like it too! It's super complicated though. It's actually two recordings, one is a screen capture using OBS (free software). The other smaller video of my head is shot with my Canon 77D. I'm also using a 'green screen' behind me, essentially a green backdrop that you can make transparent. The hard part about a green screen is getting out all the wrinkles and having it properly illuminated. You really need at least four studio lights to do it right, I'm using three lights and it was a struggle to get it dialed in. Five or six separate lights would be better. Then I put it all together in Adobe Premiere Pro using the 'Ultra Key' effect to make the green screen transparent. Took me forever to figure it all out!
My big Mojave female, Geraldine, as turned twenty years old in June. She is my largest Ball Python. Last time she bred was 2018. Perhaps I will try again in 2022 for one last time.
I love Mojave hands down my favorite gene. I have few on morphmarket right now. I have a Mojave enchi pastel and a Mojave pastel on there currently. I have a couple more Mojave enchi pastels but I am not sure I am selling them.
My purple passion (mojave, phantom) has a blue iridescence shine to it sometimes, mainly on the head. And his eyes are legit silver. It will someday be bred to my female butter, pastel, 4/8 will be B.E.L.♡
Almost every one of my snakes have some irradiance to them. My bamboo cinnamon enchi has a red and gold effect to her head. The only ones I really haven't seen it is in my two bright snakes. A Firefly and Super orange dream pastel spider. 15 dark and the 2 brights.
My special BP has an iridescent head! Hey Chris can you please do a video on iridescent scales? It reminds me of the case with the scaless snakes. Some are scaless on the head only. Wonder what that's about 😕😄
Crazy how Mojave and fire don't make a BEL... Also I have several ball pythons with an iridescent Sheen. Enchi HGW, Mojave, Classic/normal, enchi spark, special het pied, and yellow belly het pied. The sheen is found on the darker snakes, most prominent right after shedding. What's odd is that you could see it on albino
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures well I live all the way in Minnesota so I wouldn't be able to talk to you in person. Plus I'm looking for a ball python mentor
I love Mojaves, Mystics, GHIs and BELS! I have a pair of mojaves, a Mojave lesser BEL, a GHI female and a Mystic Potion Male. I have fires, enchis, pastel ghost and super yellow Belly to add to it in the future. I want to add orange dream too!
Beginner breeder have a Male coral glow het pied can you do a video of what Gene's would mix could was thinking of getting a few normals just to up my females
THEORY I think that ball pythons have three pigments. dark brown/black, orange/light red, and yellowish green. i believe the mojave gene injects more of the greens as well as consolidates the colors. it separates them creating a cleaner more high contrast palate. people often describe the yellow as "yellower", "vibrant", or "lighter". it think they are picking up on the light green which gives it a golden or higlighter like appearance. also, it think a lot of the blushing on mojaves are due the oranges being concentrated along the sides of the snake. it seems the gene concentrates the green at the top surrounded by black and then the oranges down the side. this is why i think the ghi mojave is so magical. ghi seems to have more green than a normal. it takes all those greens and reds that are muddied up and separtes them. idk. just thinking out loud
Hey man I was wondering if you could help me determine if my snakes are normals or Mojaves. I don't know if you'll see this comment but if you do I'd super appreciate it!
Honestly my only problem with the Mojave ball python is what happens when I tell someone I have a female Mojave ball python, i’ve had this exact conversation so many times LOL Me: she’s a Mojave Other: a Mojave what? Me: just a Mojave Other: oh… so what are you going to breed her with? Me: I don’t breed Other: oh……… why did u get a normal looking snake then? Me: because she’s pretty Other: but it just looks like a normal tho……. THIS WILL GO ON FOREVER!!!!
I am a beginner I got just a single Gene girl Mojave but I bought two males pastel het hypo Firefly that other one is a pastel hat hypo Firefly vanilla long story but the first one was supposed to have the vanilla in it and it didn't so dude how to give me another one with the vanilla in it but I'm glad you made this video cuz it shows me a lot of stuff then I'm ready to do it this girl
I have a BEL with an iridescent sheen. As of yet I don't know what genes actually made her. As soon as she's up to weight I'm crossing her with a normal.
I have a two different ball pythons a mojave and a phantom and when i got them they both had iridescent colors like pinkish purple colors i mean not like a Brazilian Rainbow boa but they did have some iridescents not as much now that there getting older but they definitely have iridescents
Can you possibly do a video based on scale rot? Causes, how to cure it, and how to identify(if you havent already). Reason I ask is because I may potentially have a ball python with scale rot, although it hasn't gotten any worse, nor has it gotten better. I cant tell if she just has substrate under scales or what. Also, how to start breeding ball pythons, how to throw them into breeding mode and how to know when theyre ready. How to prepare for breeding, what to do during the breeding process(temp, humidity, feeding, etc.) Just the whole shebang! Hope all is well! (:
Scale rot is a bacterial infection It happens because an area of the reptile's scales is too moist and/or there has been a failure to properly clean the cage out. Start by getting rid of substrate and all decor in cage if not using rack system. Disinfect everything top to bottom look up F10SC Veterinary Disinfectant. Use paper towels as substrate and try and keep humidity low. Keep repeating this process of cleaning and disinfecting and using the paper towels till you see it clearing up. Hope this helps
@@matthewjames513 Thank you!!! 😊😊😊its very very minor, right at the tip of her nose and shes had it since she arrived on my door step. I really appreciate the advice. Dually noted!! 😁 I'm honestly waiting for her next shed to see if it'll come off, if not, I will make a vet visit. I know what scale rot is, just in this case its just hard to tell because of where it is located. I have 3 other snakes I have never had a this issue with so I'm being VERY cautious! My big boyo had substrate under his scales and I was freaking out because I thought it was scale rot and LUCKILY it was not, lol. But again, I appreciate the info very much!
Depends on how many are available and how many people are trying to sell the same thing for a slightly lower price. If there's just one or two out there they can sell for more. Pricing is tricky.
Chris Hardwick you didn’t list the beat example of the Mojave gene which is the cherry bomb or red eyed Lucy which is albino blued Lucy (super Mojave albino) it’s so rare that they are not listed on morph market last one I seen was sold in Europe for $1500 it’s a 3% chance to hit the combo you can make it by breeding 2 Super Mojave het albinos or 2 Mojave albinos the another insane Mojave combo is the Mojave ghi orange ghost I seen one on morph market that sold for $3500
That's awesome! When I do these morph videos I usually have way too many examples and have to cut out half or more to keep within a reasonable watch time. I usually go with the ones that have the best photos LOL.
As of right now I want to get a pastave male to go to a lesser pastels and a lemon blast. I want to make lucyies and a bunch of super pastels. I specifically want to breed for a reduced pattern supper pastave and a reduced patern super pastel jigsaw.
I have an enchi VPI axanthic ball python who has an iridescent sheen, especially on the dark banding and his head. It's especially noticeable right after he has shed.
I think Mojave is my favorite gene right now, pairing a female with a spinner this fall and I have a male that will be paired next year. Not about the money, I just like them.

Love the morph series. Still waiting on the Jedi morph lol
Thank you. My Mojave girl has a lot ahead of her ❤️🐍❤️

Your videos are the best glad your videos are not confusing
Glad you think so!
I’ve seen this video like about 45 times I love my new morph list
Number 1 roll tide o love the Whitesnake
Love your videos! See you in denver!
See you there!
I would really like to see you go over the special morph! Not too many people have much info on it.
Thank you so much, recently got into ball pythons and wanting to start breeding and at the moment I have a male Ghost Mojave and I’m in the process of getting some females so I’m trying to see what I can produce
I'm thinking about getting a mojave pastel. Super excited
That's awesome! 👍
I love the picture in picture you're using for these videos, now! What program are you using for that?
Yea, I really like it too! It's super complicated though. It's actually two recordings, one is a screen capture using OBS (free software). The other smaller video of my head is shot with my Canon 77D. I'm also using a 'green screen' behind me, essentially a green backdrop that you can make transparent.

Another great video. I'm currently trying to purchase as many normal females as I can afford to start my own project. Thanks for all the knowledge.
My big Mojave female, Geraldine, as turned twenty years old in June. She is my largest Ball Python. Last time she bred was 2018. Perhaps I will try again in 2022 for one last time.
I love Super Mojaves because of the grey heads! Mystic Potions are really cool, too.
I love Mojave hands down my favorite gene. I have few on morphmarket right now. I have a Mojave enchi pastel and a Mojave pastel on there currently. I have a couple more Mojave enchi pastels but I am not sure I am selling them.
Loved it from day 1 but since I've been collecting again I have yet to pick one up
One of my BPs is very iridescent! You can see it out in the sun just like my rainbow boa! I’m excited to see what his offspring looks like next year!!
Interesting!
My normal has that sheen. Like a oil on water look in the light
My purple passion (mojave, phantom) has a blue iridescence shine to it sometimes, mainly on the head. And his eyes are legit silver.
It will someday be bred to my female butter, pastel, 4/8 will be B.E.L.♡
Can you do a Super Mojave video? What can you mix into it and see a difference?
Almost every one of my snakes have some irradiance to them. My bamboo cinnamon enchi has a red and gold effect to her head. The only ones I really haven't seen it is in my two bright snakes. A Firefly and Super orange dream pastel spider. 15 dark and the 2 brights.
Which morph tends to always get really big?
My phantom is iridescent. I paired her with my shatter. I'm hoping the babies come out with iridescence also!
My special BP has an iridescent head! Hey Chris can you please do a video on iridescent scales?
It reminds me of the case with the scaless snakes. Some are scaless on the head only. Wonder what that's about 😕😄
You should do a video on the Batman morph.
Crazy how Mojave and fire don't make a BEL... Also I have several ball pythons with an iridescent Sheen. Enchi HGW, Mojave, Classic/normal, enchi spark, special het pied, and yellow belly het pied. The sheen is found on the darker snakes, most prominent right after shedding. What's odd is that you could see it on albino
Has anyone produced a lavender super mojave? I wonder if it would have a purple head.
Is there a way to contact you outside of TH-cam?
Not really, I'll be at the Denver Repticon on October 19-20, 2019. Other than that I only do TH-cam comments, not much time for anything else LOL
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures well I live all the way in Minnesota so I wouldn't be able to talk to you in person. Plus I'm looking for a ball python mentor
Just got a Mojave het clown and pastel lesser het clown can’t wait to breed most excited for my albino
That's awesome!
I love Mojaves, Mystics, GHIs and BELS! I have a pair of mojaves, a Mojave lesser BEL, a GHI female and a Mystic Potion Male. I have fires, enchis, pastel ghost and super yellow Belly to add to it in the future. I want to add orange dream too!
Beginner breeder have a Male coral glow het pied can you do a video of what Gene's would mix could was thinking of getting a few normals just to up my females
I have a cinnamon leopard with a iridescent sheen, almost rainbow like when she has just shed
That's awesome!
Alright Chris I have posted that link on previous video for identifying morph cheers dan

My BEL was actually made from two Mojave Lesser BELS, but is all white and no big eyes.
Honestly my only problem with the Mojave ball python is what happens when I tell someone I have a female Mojave ball python, i’ve had this exact conversation so many times LOL
Me: she’s a Mojave

THIS WILL GO ON FOREVER!!!!
The black pastel has an iridescent sheen to it, at least the ones I have do. I also have a female GHI mystic, that is crazy iridescent and very dark.
I got a female Mojave’s she’s super vocal and I love it he name is Hissy Elliot
I am a beginner I got just a single Gene girl Mojave but I bought two males pastel het hypo Firefly that other one is a pastel hat hypo Firefly vanilla long story but the first one was supposed to have the vanilla in it and it didn't so dude how to give me another one with the vanilla in it but I'm glad you made this video cuz it shows me a lot of stuff then I'm ready to do it this girl

Couldnt escape my boss today! Chris i made a video last night of all my snakes, you should check it out i got a few you would appreciate
What's a good price for a female super mojave GHI?
Depends on how many are available and how many people are trying to sell the same thing for a slightly lower price. If there's just one or two out there they can sell for more. Pricing is tricky.
Chris Hardwick okay, that’s super fair. I’d love to get your opinion on this particular snake if that’s somehow possible?
Chris Hardwick really respect your opinions and your videos
I love pastave and jigsaw.
2900 gram BIG Mohave girl of mine.
" MoJo " ❤🤗
My Mojave is also named Mojo
The Nanny we have over here is super iridescent

Chris Hardwick the red eyed Lucy is just most insane snakes I’ve seen
As of right now I want to get a pastave male to go to a lesser pastels and a lemon blast. I want to make lucyies and a bunch of super pastels. I specifically want to breed for a reduced pattern supper pastave and a reduced patern super pastel jigsaw.
Hey I have a snake but I don’t know what type of ball pythons he’s his I think lesser but might be a mojave
I have an enchi VPI axanthic ball python who has an iridescent sheen, especially on the dark banding and his head. It's especially noticeable right after he has shed.
I think Mojave is my favorite gene right now, pairing a female with a spinner this fall and I have a male that will be paired next year. Not about the money, I just like them.
I bought my baby today baby Mojave ball python
It came dead in the Mail
Just bought a healthy baby girl for $80
Could you do one for spider balls? I have a female I want to breed next year, just now sure to what. Thanks!
