Such a cool facility. Not too big so you can't give all the snakes the proper care they deserve but big enough to provide a viable business. I'm not a real fan of royals but some of those morphs were pretty stunning.
Hi Dav Such an excellent blog. Wow his facility is so awesome. He has so many beautiful axanthic snakes. Some of the colors, and patterns were amazing. His collection had so many new hybrids. Cindy
Great facility. Radiant floor heat is awesome. I'm planning a facility now in Northeast Ohio. So cold winters here also. Who did you use for the Radiant heat? Did you DIY or hire out? I'm looking and liking Radiantec out of Vermont. Also looking into ICF construction for the building. My building would be similar to yours in it will have 2 zones one for rodents and one for reptiles.
Any reputable HVAC company can easily install radiant in floor heat. I imagine you already have your project done, but if anyone else reads this, just get a few estimates from local companies. Also, consider using geothermal sourced heat. It adds to the upfront cost, but after tax credits and energy savings, it usually pays for itself within a few years.
FANTASTIC Facility!! Absolutely amazing animals... I saw several I was drooling over. That black head champagne yellow belly is so sick!! The suma stuff... I’m so jealous! 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Dav, outstanding video. This is not just a snake, and not evenjust a reptile video. I could have used this when I had my 120 aquariums setup. Very informative!
Love seeing snake breeders in MN! Beautiful, well thought out facility. Hope you get some awesome babies for your first year in there guys. Thanks for sharing Dav!
Great video!!!!!! That place is huge, their snakes are off the chain!!!! I will be looking them up on morph market for sure!!!! My next ball python has to come from there!!! No doubt!!!
Its me JR . Dood that place is awesome you guys . Congrats . Thank you all for everything you have done and do . Especially for us local Minnesota folks.
Great video as always! Thank you JSA for allowing us a peak at your amazing building. Would love to have seen the rodent room set up. Keep the videos coming.
Hi Dav Fantastic video. His building is awesome. So many beautiful snakes. And it was finished in 6 months. That was a lot of hard work, to make a dream come true.🐍❤
Just found this.............................. Blown away great episode. Have a friend up in Perham Minnesota Way up Northern MN and cold bought a old smaller than hobby farm but had a Huge pole barn on it and dirt floor only a few years old. 50 x 100 foot pole barn set up a canvas sewing buisness so he had a concrete floor poured with the heating tubes in the concrete floor heat pump would circulate the fluid into a heater and it heats Beautifully and back up gas air furnace. Be interesting if you can go into cost of heating from what I understand it is very efficient. LOVE the Pastave with the axanthic gonna look for it on the community tab. Any Updates on her?????!!!!! JSA Hats off!
I really love how like 4 minutes in, the refresh rate of the camera makes it look like the light is flashing/strobing off/inside of the snake tanks, paired along with the sick techno beats makes it look like Snake Rave And let's be honest: Snake Rave is best rave
THIS IS STU ON CINDY'S COMPUTER: AWESOME VIDEO DAVE! WHAT AN AMAZING BLDG! WELL PLANNED OUT! GREAT IDEA FOR THE IN FLOOR HEAT WITH BOILERS! GREAT JOB, JOE JON AND SHEENA! LOVE THE BLDG! THERE ARE A FEW YOU SHOWED THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! PS. (NICE INCUBATORS) LOL! :) CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE PRODUCING THIS YEAR! SEE YA IN TINLEY!
My grandfather invented infloor heating Maxxon floor technology I actually live near oak grove too and play softball at SRO I might need to get a snake from you sometime JSA I didn’t realize you were so close!!
Great video Dav :) JSA are amazing people and LOVE the new facility #snakegoals Thanks for taking us on the tour and showing some awesome looking ball pythons :)
deli cups that almost hit the top of the ceiling within the tub? from the few shots showing this, have they observed their snakes drinking water? it looks like theres no room for the snake to even get their heads into those deli cups. Could just be the angle from the shot. Also, I'm curious why they use the press n seal, yet have holes in the box and over moist incubation medium all at the same time? Seems to be like three different trains of thought going on that all counteract one another. I'm sure they're successful given the money it takes to build such a facility and grow that collection as they have, but those two details stand out to me most. The building is impressive, but I feel like they may have overlooked some details that might make incubation harder than it needs to be and some potential hydration challenges for animals. I see a lot of these same practices being utilized and I really don't understand them yet. Maybe that's just me though. Anything you can share to shed light on my misunderstanding and perspective? like I said, they seem successfull so not knocking anything at all.
It is the angle, the tubs have been designed specifically to meet the needs of the snakes. There's really no one right way to incubate eggs. If what you're doing produces 100% hatching with big, healthy babies, then the way you're doing it is the way to do it. I don't incubate eggs the same way as they do, but in the end, it all gets us to the same goal.
Never too late to install floor heat , I installed many slab heat geo floors and overlay electric thermal wire heat also which is awesome in not only a reptile room but your bath room also lol
I think I just got one from the 'my two dads' clutch! I picked up a banana het red axanthic 60% het clown at the show from JSA the weekend before last. He's such a healthy little guy and started taking F/T four days after bringing him home!
Wow awesome hope to have a set up like that one day sent you some pics on messenger dav its people like you that make me strive to better my collection and my knowledge of my reptiles love your work thank you
What’s the best bedding for ball pythons!?!? Everyone I know personally and all the exotic vets I talk to say either coco or cypress, but everyone I see online that’s a major breeder uses aspen? EDIT: @ 13:07 there is what I use, repti chips, but all his pythons look to have aspen?
I think the coco or repti chips is better but the Aspen is less expensive, so the might be more economical to use with larger collections, at least that's my guess
After looking back at this and seeing a few het red axanthic clowns and combos and getting into the “keyhole” clown project... that’s definitely not a het red axanthic clown and more looks like the keyhole clown with the white teardrop sides. The openings on the dorsal and overall look so it could possibly be a special “keyhole” clown or just a really high expression keyhole clown.. they compare keyhole clowns to a gene called the “circus” in clowns but very cool snake and a year ago when I first saw this I’d have a different opinion but I genuinely believe that’s actually a keyhole or special keyhole clown.. keyhole non clown version doesn’t look to crazy so could of slipped in his collection without knowing it but yea.. and i got my pastel keyhole clown and baker from blue line morphs and joe from empire exotics got out keyhole clown stock from this guy from Animalistic pythons or expotics..
Love the vid. I have a florida porch that is getting pretty weathered over the past year or so. But im really considering when i get the money to repair and remodel im just gonna close it off and make it into my snake room. Just have 5 royals right now but if everything goes right and to plan would love to upgrade. From the bedroom to have a whole entire room for my snakes. And i would love to get some pied genes and some ghi next. Well just wanted to share. Love all your vids brother
So I know that with some animals that have larger numbers of young at the same time it is possible to have two fathers in a single clutch. Is this possible with ball pythons?
Those are some of the best looking clowns I've ever seen, second only to JKR! That ghi clown is a must-have! I'm a little bummed we didn't get to see the rodent room. Would have been nice to see how he had that set up. But anyway if I didn't say so enough, LOVE YOU DAV!
But it is possible that someone, like a small breeder, has already bred this combination and just doesn’t or hasn’t made it known in the snake world. The reason I wonder is bc I know a very small hobby breeder who claims to have retics that she claims there are only two each of these snakes in the entire United States and she has one of each of them, and I just wonder how she can know there are only two in the US in the first place. And she claims they are so rare, yet she doesn’t breed them. And she got a real “deal” when she bought them, which is a red flag in my opinion. I’ve just always wondered how snake breeders can claim they have one of a kind when there are so many hobby breeders who don’t advertise or just sell locally.
There's one thing that I hate . Our local Petco has a morph that they call rare for 300 but they can't tell you what it is they don't know . So if someone new buys it they think they are getting a rare morph and therefore getting screwed . Not every one will second guess them and I think that is messed up .
Such a cool facility. Not too big so you can't give all the snakes the proper care they deserve but big enough to provide a viable business.
I'm not a real fan of royals but some of those morphs were pretty stunning.
Exactly!
When the door opened up to the reptile room and music started that got me pumped up and Inspired. Wow what a dream Facility. 👍
Awesome!
I've never heard of him but he seems like a down to earth guy that knows his stuff and takes pride in it. Great video!
Hi Dav Such an excellent blog. Wow his facility is so awesome. He has so many beautiful axanthic snakes. Some of the colors, and patterns were amazing. His collection had so many new hybrids. Cindy
Wowza!!! I can’t wait for the updates! What an amazingly awesome collection. Thanks Dāv!!!!!

Not so hidden anymore :)
Isnt that the truth. Well at any rate. Im just as jealous as you are. Their facility is frickin sweet!! 🙌🏻✌🏻🐍🦎
WOW! Amazing breeders, beautiful snakes!
That Mojave hypo is innnnsanee. The grey & yellow! I've never seen those colors before. Wow. I would sell a kidney for that snake. 😍
Great video!!!!!!
That place is huge, their snakes are off the chain!!!!
I will be looking them up on morph market for sure!!!!
My next ball python has to come from there!!! No doubt!!!
Quite the fiesty little Suma! Awesome stuff from JSA as always. So excited to see them growing!
It was just a kiss :)
Awesome facility and some truly amazing snakes!!
Great video. Congratulations from the UK to JSA on their new facility. Thanks for showing us it. Looks awesome.

Incredible! 😍 Like a sweetshop for herpetologists! And I love how all the snakes have their names on their tubs.
Yeah, talk about a dream collection! These guys give me a lot of hope
Jealous doesn't even begin to cover it. The intricacy of design is just divine. That GHI Mohave Hypo is incredible!
I know, right?
Omg the heat coils under the floor are str8 G....I run out of a mobilehome.when its hot its hot when its cold i cant rest due to worrying about temps
Always great work from Dave!!
Thanks!
Great stuff👍
Great video and great success story. Couldn’t had happened to better people. Congrats!
Great video Dav :) JSA are amazing people and LOVE the new facility #snakegoals
Thanks for taking us on the tour and showing some awesome looking ball pythons :)

Another great video Dav! Had to watch twice got stoned and distracted.
Haha!
That banana super stripe is my new favorite. My god, I want that snake! B E A Utiful.
Awesome video dav...looks like a huge facility...
Thanks!
Joe fantastic setup you guys should be proud
Great video loved the "surprise egg opening" part especially.
Glad you liked it!

Hello I just seen this video and looked at ur community tab and didn't see that pied combo that u said would be there
I've always felt bad about removing eggs from the female. Mom seems so protective of them.
Sweet vid mate
What rack system are you using??
love that happy dance! :)
Drink everytime dave say "Wow"
Gotta love the radiant heat flooring.
Wow awesome hope to have a set up like that one day sent you some pics on messenger dav its people like you that make me strive to better my collection and my knowledge of my reptiles love your work thank you
Hahahah has to be the funniest bite ever
I agree too. I'm jealous of this place too.
Nice shop beautiful snake
Very good
What racks do you use sir
Oh if only l had the money to do this, l will try hard to win the lotto, maybe the only way l could. Amazing set up and some gorgeous snakes.
hi my first time doing this but i love what i see is there anybody in jamaica that do this pls do tell this is outstanding
What’s the best bedding for ball pythons!?!? Everyone I know personally and all the exotic vets I talk to say either coco or cypress, but everyone I see online that’s a major breeder uses aspen?
EDIT:
@ 13:07 there is what I use, repti chips, but all his pythons look to have aspen?
I think the coco or repti chips is better but the Aspen is less expensive, so the might be more economical to use with larger collections, at least that's my guess
I personally use cocoa bark. It holds humidity better than other bedding.
Do all the snakes stay in them tubs ?
Goals right here!!!
Right?
That special clown is fuego my man.
Great Video! is JSA Reptiles going to be at Tinely in October? I want a Mojave lighting pied, VPI line, male
Thanks! They will be!
So beautiful
Anybody know what the morph of the ball python on the left in the thumbnail is?
After looking back at this and seeing a few het red axanthic clowns and combos and getting into the “keyhole” clown project... that’s definitely not a het red axanthic clown and more looks like the keyhole clown with the white teardrop sides.

That would be awesome!
have you ever ship ball python to jamaica
Sounded like some Mortal Kombat music... Reptile Wins!
Lol! Finish him!
Axanthic pieds are to die for
It seems like heated floors would cook the snakes near the floor.
So I know that with some animals that have larger numbers of young at the same time it is possible to have two fathers in a single clutch. Is this possible with ball pythons?
Yes, that is possible
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Doesn't that complicate the issue of figuring out who the father is if the answer could be both?
@@fletchmel000 yes it does! That's why most breeders don't do this
You should it’s nice to have a reptile facility
Those are some of the best looking clowns I've ever seen, second only to JKR! That ghi clown is a must-have! I'm a little bummed we didn't get to see the rodent room. Would have been nice to see how he had that set up. But anyway if I didn't say so enough, LOVE YOU DAV!
Thanks Lida. I'll have to do a follow up video with them about the rodents :)
13:15 OMG I'M IN SHOCK
The ghi glown is beautiful too
Badass
How cool Dāv!
Thank you for sharing
#RattleOn
Thanks Lance!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures my pleasure
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures dude, you posted that perfectly. Finished a video, received e-mail you had posted a min ago, clock and watch.
Yes!!
Love ur content
Thanks! Glad you do!
how much is a snake I'll buy and shipping
I would love a facility like that of carpet pythons!!
That would be awesome!
has JSA hit on the super stripe clown yet?
I’m so curious. How do you know that this snake is the worlds first?
Just by keeping on top of what everyone else is breeding and checking out forums and websites like world of ball pythons, etc.
But it is possible that someone, like a small breeder, has already bred this combination and just doesn’t or hasn’t made it known in the snake world. The reason I wonder is bc I know a very small hobby breeder who claims to have retics that she claims there are only two each of these snakes in the entire United States and she has one of each of them, and I just wonder how she can know there are only two in the US in the first place.

I’ve just always wondered how snake breeders can claim they have one of a kind when there are so many hobby breeders who don’t advertise or just sell locally.
That's true but if someone produces a worlds first, they are often pretty vocal about it
Can you do a tour of JKR's facility when he's done? Also,lol,would love to see what's behind the doors of VPI!!
I'd love to!
The clown is a special clown that you were asking about. 💯 Positive on that . Great video
12:15 SO FUNNY 🤣
How many snakes Do they have
Awesome place and snakes . I don't see how poeple remember all the morphs I'm just getting started and it's mind blowing
There's a lot to keep track of, but there's a lot of groups and websites that track what the genetics are that can help
Thank you for your time
There's one thing that I hate . Our local Petco has a morph that they call rare for 300 but they can't tell you what it is they don't know . So if someone new buys it they think they are getting a rare morph and therefore getting screwed . Not every one will second guess them and I think that is messed up .
Good
Idk what that clown is but that thing is wicked awesome!!!
Wow 👍👍
Rattle on . Kool facility. I didnt know that existed in mn. I thought they only had 2 reptile store.. t.cities reptile & leaping lizards. 😎🤙🏼👍🏻
Those are retail shops and this is a private breeder. Rattle On!
Right on man. 🤙🏼🖖
12:19 Premier Protein Peaches & Cream flavor through the nostrils. 🤣
How much are basic looking Ball pythons?
You can find them for around $25-$30.
Favorite part of the video?? all axanthic related💪
They got the firefly dbl het female from me
Nice. She needs to lay her eggs now!
