Pythons protecting and keeping their eggs warm is so cute, it’s cool to see maternal reptiles

Banana bread being demoted to a baby daddy is probably the funniest thing a zoo snake can be demoted to 😭

Please do an updated meet all our snakes video! It'd be so interesting to see who you all still have vs your newer snakes 🐍

Just in case since you only mentioned getting the eggs ready for incubating not cleaning the tub... For ball pythons, you can take a little bit of dishsoap water and give mom a quick bath. give the tub a good clean as well. It gets rid of the egg smell so the mommas don't keep thinking there might be eggs nearby and get them eating again a bit quicker.

When Emily said "bananas hatching," my mind immediately went to a banana bunch popping out of an egg 😅

I find it adorable she's protecting her eggs, she loves her eggs a lot.

One tip with the pythons, when you take them off the nest wash them and the rack they were in, change the substrate out as well. Remove the scent of those eggs and your python will get back to eating and being normal fairly quickly

I find Emily's enthusiasm infectious. This is a species I am deeply familiar with. I've handled around 4,000 BPs in my 25+ years of snake handling, I've shown this species, I have helped breed this species. I'm really stoked to see the 7 bananas that we're gonna soon be meeting!

Wow! Congrats on officially becoming a snake breeder. You guys ever heard of bullsnakes? Might be good to get into! Edit: This is sarcasm.

Congrats on another new species! I know they’re “just” ball pythons but new babies are always exciting. BTW: They’re definitely not the same thing; you can’t play billiards with a magic 8 ball.

as someone who breeds ball pythons as a hobby for the past 11 years, it'll NEVER get old or any less exciting to see eggs. also congrats on the eggs btw! i do wanna say that i (personally believe) that about 6 eggs is average for ball pythons to lay, thats what i normally get anyways but i have had snakes lay 8 eggs or even 13! which is a lot or again i personally think so. also with the banana, if it is a male maker then banana's should come out male and everything else female, tho there's something like a 5% chance of getting a female banana.

Am I the only one who loves Emily’s commitment to these little works of art on the eggs 😂😂😂

Ball pythons breed well when they feel safe and comfortable in captivity. Congrats guys! Another testament to how good and successful your zoo and breeding program are!

She looks like she is holding on to her Babies ❤. Such a lovely mom

Hey Emily :) the biggest reason we pull eggs from ball pythons is not only to ensure the eggs are incubated with the best possible survival rate, but also to get momma back on feed as soon as possible to ensure her own best health :) they certainly can throw a hissy fit though

Ed is right, they’re modeled after an 8-ball lol also Emily is technically correct considering they’re bigger and fluid filled with a die inside 😂

Please release the video about Pheonix and Ember's babies soon! I've been watching the baby cam for at least an hour a day for the last month and I really want to know how many babies she had.

Congrats to Honey! It's wild to see how concave she was post-eggs, that must have been so tiring to get out!

OMG EGGS!! Can't wait to see the babies!!! Love all of Emily and ed's video's always entertaining and teaching people! Edit: Get your head out of the gutter Emily Ed meant ball themed

I am so ready for hatching 😮😮😊😊

I'm so excited to see these babies when they hatch!!! this is coming from someone that has always been terrified of snakes. but this channel has taught me that danger noodles are cute and just to respect them. I'm not gonna be going out and looking for snakes anytime soon, but I've learned that I can watch comfortably from my apartment and appreciate them!

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THESE BABIES HATCH! BALL PYTHONS ARE MY FAVE ❤ I’ve been waiting for Ed and Emily to start breeding BPs!!

I have been waiting SO Long for the ball pythons to finally lay eggs and now there are gonna be some cute baby’s!

I loved how she was such a good mother that when Emily tried to lift her off, she still had hold of the eggs. xD

I got so excited i dropped my phone and yelled at my dad about the ball pythons when i saw the video title 😂 i absolutely ADORE them, and have been hoping for YEARS y'all would breed them!! This absolutely made my day!!! Congrats!

And so it begins, can't wait for baby hatching season!

I am using my grandpa's computer for this to tell you guys congratulations! I have a ball python myself that I got when I was 4 and watching all of your videos has inspired me to research and hope to do what you guys are doing some day ! I have learned a lot from you guys and have had so much fun doing it. I will be watching you guys a lot until I go to college to learn to do what your doing. I'm only in sixth grade at the moment but it's still a lot of fun to watch you guys and learn. Thank you so much!😁

Can't wait for hatching season!!! I think it's probably my favorite videos!

i'm also very excited for these ball python babies bc i have never seen them bred before! and snake discovery ball pythons!!! emily is great at drawing sports balls. mama did such a good job laying those beautiful eggs!

So cool 🙂 On another note please, please don't go "industrial" It breaks my heart when I see all the small tubs the parents are kept in year around. I mean even Balls love to climb and move if given the opportunity but you know that already👀

Teeny honey bread loafs! Excited to see eggs and babies, I feel like it's been ages since last year's clutches!

please. please and please. use a mask when dealing with perlite. especially at the end of the bag where all the dust collects. the dust is harmful to continuously inhale!! Even if your handling dry perlite for a few minutes, have some good ventilation and protection ! ❤

I'm so excited for these to hatch!

Yay! Eggies! Mama Noodle was so protective, & she coiled so prettily, too! She's adorable.😻🐍 As for the Magic 8-Ball, it's *based* on an 8-ball in it's "look", but it's NOT a pool ball. It's 4 times the size & made of cheap plastic--it would eventually break if you tried to use it as a pool ball, & it won't fit into the pockets in the table. I think Emily is right, they *aren't* the same.😼

So exited for babies! I’m not gonna be able to wait! Congrats on all your future babies mama!

It is always so nice to see new clutches=3 Protectiv mama, so adorable=)

Just to tell you ball pythons incubate their eggs. They twitch their body to create heat and can raise the temeperature above ambient air temperature . To do maternal incubation you just need a nest box with moss or cypress mulch to keep the humidity up. The female coils will get tighter if it gets too cool. Mist the nest box daily to keep the substrate moist not wet. The female will drink water from drops on coils if she is thirsty. The last couple of weeks of incubation the female will leave the clutch to go hunting and they will eat during this time. When the eggs slit the female will be on the clutch like glue until the babies emerge. This same behavior is done by blood pythons. Burmese pythons on the other hand do not feed for the entire incubation then when the eggs slit they are out of there! They just want to get a good drink and a shed then a meal. One thing I noticed with Burmese is that there were always a few eggs that would roll away from the main clutch. Those eggs placed in an incubator would aways hatch after the maternally incubated ones by a week or two. I always wondered if the twictching made the babies develop faster. So if you want to try this so if you can keep the humidity and temperature in the right range you don't need an incubator. Mind you in Miami during the summer humidity was never a problem. The females would be lonely coiled during the day and tighten up up at night when things cooled down a little.

So happy to see you guys working with Python Regius🥰 Your channel is what got me over my fear of snakes and thanks to you guys I’m getting my third ball python tomorrow💖

This makes me so happy! I started following you when I was just getting into reptiles, starting with a normal ball python. I love your content don't get me wrong but I was so bummed when you said you don't breed ball pythons because the market is just so overcrowded which it is but I still love them so much... they're so cute and pretty and they have so many colors. I really hope you end up remaining excited for ball pythons

Emily is def right on this one! The magic 8 ball and regular 8 ball are indeed different . They have two completely different uses and they're not interchangeable lol EXCITED FOR THE BALLS THO!!!!

Those eggs look perfect! I'd be surprised if any went bad. Also I never knew how much I liked pastels until I saw Honey in the video we first saw her in about adoption island

We know you think they are boring, but we just love ball pythons! We have four. Keep the ball python videos coming! ❤

Omg, 55 days? They should be hatching in the next week or two! Congrats!

I love the dialogue between the carts! Lol The editing in these videos is awesome! Baby ball pythons are so exciting! Ball pythons are my dream snakes ❤ I love all the morphs.

Aww these babies were laid on my birthday! Hope they all hatch out healthy ❤❤

I love ball pythons. What a good mama! So cute to see her wrapped around her bebehs. ❤

That was cool to see, and those did look like pretty large eggs, even for a ball python. I'm no expert on ball pythons but based on what I can recall from watching Brian B's videos, they seem to be on the larger side. Can't wait to see what the babies look like, hope you guys get some good morphs out of the clutch. Speaking of ball pythons and Brain Barczyk, I think that he mentioned that he was looking at downsizing some ball python breeding stock due to his illness. This might be a good opportunity for you guys to pick a few more to add a little more variety to your breeding stock.

Oml, im so excited to see them hatch! I have two Ball Pythons. This is so exciting to see you guys finally breeding pythons.

The magic 8 ball with the liquid inside is modeled after the 8-Ball in pool. The Magic 8 Ball is a toy. The 8 ball in pool is an actual ball and has no features to define it differently from the other balls on the table.

I think there will be 4 bananas!!!!! Also the maternal instincts in full swing was so amazing to see ball pythons are my fav right now and I’m so thankful you shared this with us!!!!

Aww baby ball pythons are so cuteee❤ cant wait to see all of them!

So Kevin from NERD has been letting his retics keep their eggs up until hatching point. I kinda hope more breeders adopt this method as sometimes it's nice to allow animals to do what they would in the wild if they are proven to be caring parents.

Wow! There's already eggs coming in, can't wait to see them!

I can’t wait to see these adorable babies. I want a snake so bad and I love ball pythons. I can’t wait to see all the babies!!!❤

Augh, we’ve only just got the egg-laying video and already I’m excited for the hatching video! It’ll be fun to see what colors the babies will look like and hopefully we’ll get to see the pewter morph babies too!

It nice watching you guys again and those eggs look so big I love snakes and my mom and I love you guys so much

Waaah I love baby ball pythons! ♡♡♡ they just have the absolute cutest little snoots!! I'm so excited you're finally breeding ball pythons!!

That's a big clutch for a first time momma! Typically it would be less for a first time, but not always and I think 11 is the normal large clutch so she was almost there, but I have witnessed more. That was impressive of her and they do look beautiful! There's so many BPs in the trade and so many that are given up, I hope these guys go to good homes. Lifers!

I loved when she protected her eggs 🥺🥺

Seeing how far Emily has came with drawing on eggs is amazing. Great artwork by the way

The bananas are cooking and I do love myself some banana chips 😋.

congrats. I watch many ball python breeders and the way you took mom off was perfect but for future reference I would still separate the eggs like you do with your other snakes. Ofc in the wild, they would be stuck together to do transfer heat to another but I see ball python breeders separate them.

Ball python babies!! And what a good Mama,protecting her eggs! Can’t wait to see them hatch! Also the 8 ball and the cue ball are two different balls in pool,the white ball is the cue ball! And the magic 8 ball is something else entirely!😂(my grandparents had a pool table,I’ve been playing since I could walk)

"Dun tush mah behbehs!" I love Pythons. My cousin had one and she was the sweetest.

Yay! That's so awesome! You can actually incubate bp eggs seperated or in a clump like you did. Most breeders I know do it seperated. I'm so excited to see what you get! Especially the banana side since most tend to be male. If you found yourself a female maker that would be awesome!

Snake discovery producing my fav morph of BPS makes my heart way to happy 🥺❤️

❤❤❤ It is so inspiring to see y'all successful in a new venture!!! I myself have also started the Ball python Breeding Journey!!! ... I have a female Lesser Orange Dream and a male Banana. Over the next 5 years I have a goal to build something like Snake Discovery as an education center here in the Southern California Desert!!!

YAY! So excited. Can't wait to see all the babies!

Hahaha I love the theme you chose for decorating the tops of the eggs, brilliantly punny. Hope you're all doing well, hope you can find a good part timer or two soon! I'd apply myself, but I'm all the way up in Canada XD Also, I wonder if there might be a way to get a camera in the incubator for real, like another streaming camera, I wonder if it'd be too warm or humid? Not sure how that'd work. Lots of love and good vibes to you all! Take good care and stay safe!

Yay after these hatch their gonna be officially snake breeders and i love that these actually protect their eggs

Would be really interesting to split a clutch and compare eggs in an incubator versus eggs kept with mom.

It's always exciting with your first clutch of Ball Python eggs. (Every season lol). And so you know average clutch size is around 6 so you have a very good first clutch. Great to see you stepping into my realm LOL. Great video as always. Can't wait to see the hatchlings.

Can’t wait until baby snake season xxx

When they said sportsballs it reminded me of a chant our band used to do at football game where one person would stand up and go “When I say Go, you say Sportsball!” And then we’d say it twice, and then we would cheer and say “Go Hockey!”

I kinda feel like the egg drawings were a missed opportunity for a sweet theme since their parents were Banana Bread and Honey, but nonetheless I am so excited you guys are officially snake breeders!

I've got a ball python and I'm so excited to see a ball python here! I don't see them on this channel much

Idea for egg pictures different types of balls with her being a ball python. Also congratulations to the new momma. Also the typical size is 6 eggs but can be up to 11

I think they will all hatch. They looked so healthy.

Love the video as always!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That's a big clutch!!! Good job momma!

Emily's right. Just because they LOOK the same does not mean they are the same. One tells your fortune and the other goes into pockets on a pool table.

Honey Is so cute protecting her eggs she is so friendly and careful Caring for them and keeping them warm🐍

YAY!!!!!Ball python eggies!!!!! Also Bannana Bread is sooooooooo cute! Also, do you have to brumate/hibernate ball pythons, and if so, when do you put them into brumation?

Honey really is as sweet as honey ! Congrats to the new mama and excited to see the babies !!

I can't believe you guys are breeding bps! So cute. My snake is a banana BP and he is an absolute doll they're so friendly.

With the colubrids I know you guys point out how concave the mommas are after laying but I never notice it but holy cow is that noticeable. Poor honey! Can’t wait for these to hatch

Emilys's natural talent for art never fails to amaze me

Ugh, I’ve been waiting for this moment forever. I’m so excited to see the future baby BP from snake discovery!! 💚

I absolutely love ball pythons, and I'm excited to see a video with them so prominently featured! I can't wait to see the hatching video!

They are ALL going to produce healthy babies and I can’t wait to see them!!!

My 8 year old daughter brought you to my attention as she loves reptiles and wildlife in general but she loves your show and she wants to wish a happy bday to rex

The only snake I own is a ball python so seeing you guys breeding balls now just makes my heart happy😍

Banana is my favorite ball python morph, I am BEYOND HYPED

Yall are great we love your show. The 8 ball and the magic 8 ball are two different balls

Banana eggs! Awesome to see you guys branching out (and the VERY FIRST bp eggs)!

Those eggs where laid on my birthday thats pretty cool!

highly recommend a pokeball theme next time with the colored markers! theres a bunch of different pokeballs so itd be great for any size clutch!

This is so exciting! Even if it's just ball python eggs and nothing uncommon, it's still so exciting! I love Ball Pythons and they're one of my favourite snakes(+I might be getting one in the future) and it's the first time for you guys to breed them! I can't wait to see the little ball python babies!! They're probably gonna be so huge!!! Can't wait!!

3or 4 bananas that be awesome 😊 congrats on the new clutch of eggs.😊😊

I have a great feeling about this clutch. Every single one of those balls are going to hatch healthy with a set of twins too
