Just got my 1st basin just rewatching your basin videos for the millionth time

Yes Ed Marino has some incredible basin specimens. I like the specimens who’s dorsal looks like a kid has drawn a big thick line down the dorsal with a nice thick piece of white chalk.

I have yet to get a condro but i want to down the road. I have 17 snakes and now have my first costal carpet python. My love is boas i adore the intelligence and would love to eventually finish out all my snakes in beautiful pvc setups like yours. Only half of my snakes currently have them all with raident heat panels. I got my carpet because i have a 6x4x2 foot arboreal setup zoo style enclosure. She is currently 1.5 years old and 4 foot. She is a dream to work with and im used to getting bitey rehomes and rescues. I adore watching your videos and i plan on learning as much as i can before getting one. My favorite fish tank atm is my 150 gallon clown loach tank. Ive been keeping fish for over 30 years. Snakes only 6 years, parrots 25 years and tarantulas only 1 year. Thank you again for the amazing videos and for making the cage size ideals i was under the impression they needed a 4x3x2 foot tank.

Thanks for all the great information! Very helpful

Good stuff, Gary!

I was looking for something like that for so long thanks Garry

Man I need that shirt! I miss the forums

My favorite tree boa too! About your Discus, if they pick on each other you need to buy more Discus. A good school is 10-12 individuals. Love your videos btw!😊💪

RIP Clyde!

“…whats the difference?” A good few geez. I’ve seen what you sell you’re basins for in morph market Gary and they were very reasonably priced compared to most I’ve seen available.

I guess I've been very lucky with our Biak GTP... He's extremely docile and were able to get him out both day and night and handle him with zero issues, even though it's not very often that we try to handle him. However, We always read his body language and on those few occasions that he doesn't want to come out he will let us know without striking that he wants to be left alone. But that's on a very rare occasion that he does that. He's absolutely amazing... Now on the other hand my spider ball python He has a green tree python complex... And he will strike just to strike at you.

Great video, love all the info and comparisons! Question - what size (dimensions) enclosure is recommended for full grown breeder Amazon Basins?

I've always heard to use odd numbers for schooling fish to break up any potential aggressive and direct pair ups.

The Prices will Change - Northerns will get more popular. The gen pool of Basins is limited, so the breeders (speaking of the European Basis) keep Most of Them to breed them Back in their own hands, inbreeding increases. You dont have that problem with Northerns, and there are also More colour phases on the Northerns… noticed that with my own hatchlings last year. In germany were Prices for cbb around 5-600€ at around 2019, now i easily sold a pair for 2k

Thank you Gary

I am so numb to Ball Python morphs now because there are so many but that is a really cool animal.

Always gotta have a backup tank ready when you have discus. It's pretty inevitable that at least one, if not more, get picked on to the point of serious illness if you don't remove the one getting beaten up. Of course some squabbling is normal, though. I've got no idea about adding more discus to an already established group or how that would affect the dynamic. But things do usually calm down (aside from the normal squabbling) after removing the one or two that are getting beaten up.

What morph was that Ball Python at the end of the video? That was sick!

I much prefer the look of northerns.

Looking to get my 1st ETB at some point. I assumed you were paying a little more for the Basin with hopefully little better temperament. When taking out any of them on their perch for cleaning, etc (obv assuming daytime) do you ever have them come off the perch where you have to physically handle to get them back on it etc? Great video!

Amazing animals. Any emerald x basin cross in your collection?

Just very interested in how much do you normally sell ur etb???

Can't you make a in depth video about emeralds, like you did with chondros in 3 sizes. Feeding size, schedule, defacation, and what do you do to secure good defacation

Great video as usual there. Thanks for all the effort you put in. One thing we all would like to hear from you though, what is the current price on Northerns and Basins? We often see the odd postings asking near Boelen's prices and sometimes nearer Rough Scaled Python prices. According to your estimations what are the two current actually valued at? Sorry to talk about money but lets talk about money😅

Gary, you are awesome, the BEST. As in THE GOAT in arboreals. Can I get a deal on a pair of Basins??

Can you show an update on the stardust diamond crosses?

Which stays smaller?

Add more, the more cichlids the less aggressive behaviors. I keep 8 tanks most over 100 gallons and ive done discus same school size. I waited out and eventually had just 1.

ok i actually know about fish im here learning all i can about emrald tree boas but on your fish issue... watch the fins, whiskers, ect... make sure they arent actually damaging them. long as they arent taking nibbles off fins and wiskers, let them be for a while see if thet will get used to eachother. If they need more time to get used to eachother without being able to pick fins and whiskers, ect... there are, or atleast i USED to be able to get tank divider net panels or i would make them but that was a LONG time ago. Either way, you can always make a tank divider net. I would personally hesitate on adding more though. Atleast till they have just a bit more time to settle. but schooling fish do generally need atleast 3 and i did best with 5 of that species to start off my schools. so be sure you have atleast 3 to 5 of that species for your schooling fish. Fish, like most animals, definitely all have their own personalities and quirks. Some individuals are more nippy, some more aggressive, some more dominant, some more just chill or laid back... often you can see these traits more distinctly in fish that arent real tiny but if you watch them a whole lot you can see it in even tiny fish lol!

How come they aren't moving? If you don't mind me asking...😐

How many gallons is your discus tank?

Cb over wc definitely! unless you rly want to take up a real challenge & even than just don't.

First try to adding more hiding spots for the fish if that does not work get more chilids

What's the Carpondro version of an Emerald? 😇

Who makes your perches?

Time for a ball python x basin cross, imo. Make it happen. Or at least leave them in proximity and express ‘regret’ at the ‘unforeseeable’ result.

Looking at the tank size I wouldn't add more at this stage. I kept cichlids for ages, both American and African. You may "overload" your tank. Did you sex them? If you only have two males, then the aggressivity of the alpha male won't be split.. So, your best bet would be to sex all of them first. If you only have two males then adding one male may help. Thanks for the vid, I have some Amazon Basins, they're just on another level with their full stripe and are much more tame, less defensive.

Cheaper ones look nicer not going to lie.

Isn’t he dans bro?

48x24x24 is NOT big enough.

You talk so fast I thought it was phone tripping out
