Brian Gundy's Adult Male Super Pastel

[Nichole0291]

hey brian i just recently got a super pastel snake from a friend that didnt want her ....she is beautiful and has been hand tamed since birth ...i love snakes and i wanted her so bad ...but im nervous that she wont like me and im nervous to take her out and get bit...??? any advice?

[Nichole0291]

she also is not comming out of her hide lots and hardly active ?? any reason y?

[fgs9]

@Nichole0291

First off handle her as often as you can. While holding her, face her head away from you. Be genltle with her and don't pet the snake's head. Give the snake free rain of it's head. It is not uncommon for a ball python to feel threatened when their heads are messed withle. If you have anymore questions feel free to call me at 408-981-6694

Don't worry about getting bit, it's really not that bad.

Man, too bad you live so far away. I would love to help out, but I live in San D. Great videos though, very informative, and beautiful, well cared for animals.

i have an adolescent normal female and pastel male about 1.5 ft long, and a female spider about 3.5 ft long (don't know weight).. how often should i feed them? i feed the small ones a feeder mice each once a week and the spider i feed her a small rat every week. Thanks

[fgs9]

@xxTimberland28xx

I would offer them the opportunity to eat a second food item once a week.

[300zx70]

Hey, how often do you have to feed baby ball pythons?

[fgs9]

@300zx70

I offer my babies food twice a week.

I don't care what it is you are breeding or keeping you have such a passion and I hope it passes on to others.

Gorgeous!!!

@SuperPitbull79

Thanks, I appreciate your comment.

[jth112]

Also a question could you bread a lemon pastel with a nice regular pastel to get a super pastel or or even breading 2 lemons to get something like a super lemon?

[fgs9]

@jth112

If you breed any 2 pastels together you wil most likely produce a super pastel. If you breed 2 lemon pastels together you will produce super lemon pastels.

Good luck

Brian / FGS

[fgs9]

@jth112

Thanks for your kind words.

Brian / FGS

[jth112]

You really have some of the best looking ball pythons I have ever seen. I've seen most of your vids and all of them are just beautiful animals. You really have your own style when it comes to selective breading and the results are amazing!

[stanandjoe0]

I might get a colobian Boa soon i is 20'' now

[kidies1]

what if you bred a super pastel to a super pastel. would it produce anything more immaculate, or just make a bunch of super's

[crazyboy3921]

beutiful!

[fgs9]

@crazyboy3921

Thank you

Brian / FGS

[CBU2221990]

Do all adult super pastels really look like that in color or you really just have a high reputation of keeping high quality animals lol

[fgs9]

@CBU2221990

My hope through selective breeding is to produce the most beautiful ball pythons as I can.

Brian / For Goodness Snakes

[fgs9]

@CBU2221990

I can't tell you what all super pastels look like and I can't honestly tell you what my reputation is, but with me it's all about having and producing quality animals.

Best of luck with your animals.

[CBU2221990]

Are there any other websites I can check out that sells super pastels?

I already know about royal constrictor designs & triple L reptiles & prehistoric pets & BhB reptiles & king snake

[fgs9]

@CBU2221990

You should be able to find plenty of super pastels from those you have mentioned . If you can't find any, check back with me later in the season and I should have several for sell.

Brian Gundy / For Goodness Snakes

[CBU2221990]

We talked on the phone about getting a super pastel, if you were to sell a 170-200g 2010 super pastel online how much would that be?

[fgs9]

@CBU2221990

My guess is that I will be selling 2010 super pastels between $500 to $700 depending on quality.

Brian / FGS

[MuslimNinjaAssassin]

I like that one he's is cool.

[fgs9]

@MuslimNinjaAssassin

Thank you

[SuburbanNinja8000]

No Problem

[HiImSteveDuh]

Nice breeding. I'd love to see what some selective breeding with that guy. It was really interesting going to Greg Graziani's facility and to hear what he said about selective breeding, and to see his original pastel which looked like a normal. I would breed him to another superpastel, super X super has never been done, you just might hit on a super DUPER pastel. lol. But If each generation of pastels keeps getting brighter, just imagine the potential!

[fgs9]

@HiImSteveDuh

Steve, Great to hear from you.

I remember talking to Greg G many years ago, he told me that he bred his original pastel to an almost melanistic normal. It was disapointing to hear him say that, because as a breeder I would have done just the oposite with that initial breeding. I've always said that we can learn from other's mistakes just as much as we can learn from our own.

I'm looking forward to breeding this guy back to his mother.

Good luck

Brian Gundy / FGS

[HiImSteveDuh]

Yea, i guess thats why he bred the cinimon to light normals after he bred the pastel to dark ones. But still, after all his experience, now he can sure produce a mean looking snake, I really loved seeing the cinny clown in person, and the leopards were impressive too. Oh, and you were on Reptile Radio recently correct?

[fgs9]

@HiImSteveDuh

Steve,

I haven't seen the cinny clown, but I'm sure it looks great. I plan on producing mojaves het for clown next year.

Yes I was on Reptile Radio a few weeks ago. It was a huge honor, one of those memorible moments.

Good luck with your season.

@JandDReptiles

Jeremy,

Thanks for your comments. Next year I will try and hook him up with my clown, spider, pied, mojaves, and his mother.

I hope your breeding season is going well for you.

Brian Gundy / For Goodness Snakes

[JandDReptiles]

Your welcome! I love Pastaves, and Pastel Pieds! And of course who could pass up a bumble bee! :) Breeding is going well for me thanks! Got an early start this time around! Eggs due in a month or so! Plus colubrids will be warming soon!! :)

Take care,

@JandDReptiles

Jeremy,

Congratulations on your early clutches.

I bred and sold colubrids for around 10 years. I must say that I do miss them.

Good luck with all of your projects

Brian Gundy / For Goodness Snakes

[JandDReptiles]

Thanks! I love the colubrids... not fond of the bulk up periods though, I seem to get bitten more the first couple weeks. It's like they are really hungry, like they havent eaten in months! haha. Thanks, and same to you! :)

-Jeremy T.

[fgs9]

@JandDReptiles

Jeremy,

Do you double clutch most of your colubrids?

Brian Gundy / For Goodness Snakes

[JandDReptiles]

I usually don't. If I sell out of a morph, and still have a high demand, if my female is back up to a healthy weight and I think she can take it, I may have her breed again. Usually, I have enough from one season to last the year with no problems! :)

[zucabrasil]

What is the diffecence when you breed a super pastel to a clown instead of just a pastel to a clown?

[fgs9]

@zucabrasil if you breed a pastel to a clown half of the babies will hatch out pastels and the other half will hatch out normals, but all of the babies will be het for clown. When you breed a super pastel to a clown all of the babies will hatch out pastels and all of them will be het for clown. The best part about breeding a super pastel to anything is that you don't end up with normals. Remember it's the same with any co dominant gene trait, ie butter, leser

Brian Gundy / For Goodness Snakes

[zucabrasil]

That is really nice to know for my future projects. When i get a super pastel from my pair of pastels, if it is a male, i can use him as a breeder and retire my male pastel.

Thanks for your help.

Angelo

[fgs9]

@zucabrasil

Angelo,

You are right on with your thinking.

Good luck on producing that male super pastel.
