Great video. This is exactly what I need to listen to. At some point this year im going to be heavily investing into several ball python projects. Thanks for all that you do. I can honestly say that about 85% of all my knowledge from research has come from your videos and recommendations. Cant wait for the next part of this series!!!

Thank you for keeping it real. You’re my mentor for starting a reptile business

I spent months researching snakes. I only have a few snakes and I’m starting to get into KZfaq but I did enough research to know what morphs I want. I can’t wait to start breeding my own animals though. It’s going to be next year though by the time my females are at size. Great video as always

Always appreciate these talks about the brass tacks and business. I spent 6 years researching and planning (and made a point to follow as many breeders I like so I can keep up-to-date with what's going on) and now just this year will be conducting my first breeding. Excited for what it brings!

"Research and experience are 2 different things"... Well said brother 👍

I love doing the research... I mean it took 5 years of research before I bought my Ball Python girl. It's important.

Thank you Matt this was a great video

I'm going to really enjoy these videos, I'm really glad yall are making them.

These videos are great man! Really appreciate all the info and time spent.

Thank you guys so much for this series. Just bought a albino clown and a candino het clown. You can bet i did a ton of research before i bought it

A wise man once said....never sell no ***** where you rest at, I don't care if they want a ounce tell'm bounce. No worries about slipping on frozen dog piss. I'm enjoying this topic very much, keep up the good work.

Love your videos! Keep up the great work - always found you guys very honest and relatable

Thank you for getting the genetic terminology right!

💚💚🐍💚💚 Best video yet! Thank you! I especially like that you pointed out the benefits of having a cushion. It reminded me of the financial advisor Dave Ramsey's baby step #1: Save a $1000 small emergency fund.

Don’t forget that Lincoln has 2 a year as well as Omaha, they also have 2. So there’s 4 more within 2-2.5 hours of your house. 😊

These Video series are really useful! Love the videos!

I’m in the process of starting hognose Business I’m excited

It doesnt take long for negitive feedback to get around the community and reputation is everything. You can do a 1000 things right but that 1 wrong thing can damage your reputation and push you right out of the hobby...

Southwestern Pennsylvania. We're lucky to blessed with reptile shows. We have 2 that are monthly and 1 that's every other month and a couple more that are spring and fall shows. All within an hour to an hour and a half drive.

Thank you for the info. I have five ball pythons and thinking about starting out as the "basement breeder" until I get some more knowledge about all these different morphs and combos.

Ready for this!

Thanks for doing videos like this I work for place that breeds ball pythons and one of the biggest rat breeder on the East cost. I am so lucky to work for the place like I do I am get the knowledge about the animals and the business and me and my wife both go to shows and work for this place mythical Exotics . The wife and I want to start breeding some time next year . We are Focusing on getting all the stuff we need in learning more about the animals we want to breed I really do appreciate the videos you make and you guys are awesome enjoy your day

Hope you guys do a break down on the economics of the business side with real world examples.

Thanks, dude. Good information. Take care. Always enjoy your vlogs.

Great info here thanks for sharing with us.

Always 4 haters. Whoever they are, they got issues...lol Thanks for doing this series, I love it!

Great advice

Good subject for its own vid- "genes you should never combine"

At what point do you feel you need to switch from a hobby to a business stand point like how many animals are you gonna be selling?

great info

Great video very informative for people looking to get in the business! Just have to say roaches are not bad, however they can get a little messy sometimes.

But I wanted a transcript of the non existent "Fucking script" :-) Great vid guys

i like the way u just looked at the camera and was like if u dont got a cushion ... UR FUCKED lol i mean its true just the way u said it lol i was crying

Good job bud👍

Someone needs to make a shirt with the definition of co-dom and in-dom

Thanks for shirt bro i love it

Now on the topic of pricing, what about paying extra for branding and bloodline over the these other guys for the same snake thats less

Hi Matt and camera man

How frequently should you feed +1000g Ball Pythons?

This is a great series! Quick question. Just finished our first year breeding and one of babies is a morph that I can not find anywhere except that someone created one and its pictured on genetic wizard. How should I figure out its $$ value and also what factors should be considered when deciding to "sell" or "holdback" ?

I was watching Kenan the other day and I believe to run his camp cost 800$ month in electric, the guy over at iguana land claimed 6000k a month in the winter. Doing a decent sized bp project like you have do the electric bills get that inflated?

I agree kevins book is great and it is a bit pricey but if ya sell off a couple snakes boom ya got book money lol...

I saw someone on craigslist selling a pied het albino het paradox and was like this guy is either dumb or got scammed cause im 99.99% certain paradox doesnt work like that

I know this is off the topic from video, but is it true to put chicken broth on a rat to get BP to eat?

I was wondering something you might know the answer to. Is Spotnose X Champagne a fatal combo? I have not been able to find a consistent answer in all my reading. Some think it is and others don't. I have seen a few of those on Morph Market that appear to be fine. One of the regulars on here has a gorgeous male Champagne combined with one or two other genes that I'm interested in maybe next after the current female I'm paying off is paid up. I have a female Spotnose Leopard 66% het Clown and before I commit to buying the Champagne male I want to be sure there won't be genetic problems breeding with my Spotnose female. I was originally thinking he'd be a good mate for my Butter Black Pewter female but also think he and my other female would have beautiful offspring if it is safe to try.

Going to get a ball python (baby) at an upcoming expo what is a good size tub to start out with? What brand?

How come I go to the Patreon and it tells me how to join when I am already a member and just last week they took out this months payment.

Good but why doesn't Kurt speak up more ?
