  • I'm a contract chemical formulator. I formulate pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides...so basically I make poison for a living

  • how did chewy hatch cats??????

  • i think that that snake bytes should show alot more leopard geckos cause there so nice and so easy to breed and stuff

  • i play poker for a living

    

  • interesting take using your crew xD

  • So, if a snake has two recessive genes that don't match (in the video's example, one ghost and one pied gene), the snake is visibly normal? So that explains the results I've been seeing on the World of Ball Pythons' genetic wizard. I thought a snake with one ghost and one pied gene would come out ghost pied, I didn't realize the 'normal' gene would stick around.

  • so wait u can breed siblings together?

  • does anyone know what i'll get by breeding a blizzard cornsnake with a snow cornsnake? will i end up with blizzards, snows or normal hets?

  • You can only breed so much before you have to add new types to get newer types but where do they all come from? sense all came from a wild type normal???? im lost

  • So how did all of these different types of ball come from a normal.

  • What is het?

  • @newby1627

    heterozygous ha both dominant and resessive traits but of course the dominant is showing so it's difficult to know generally if a snake is het unless you bred it and still you only know by a percent chance most times

  • Who else noticed Brian flipping off the camera 0:54? Haha

  • WHO ARE TH NUBES WHO DISLIKED THIS?!

  • is chewy a herpetologist i want to study herpetology

  • yeah can you inbreed bc u made it seem like you could in breed the snakes.

  • @urango9 yes you can

  • can you breed sibling snakes together?

  • when you say raise em up and put them together you mate 2 of the babies from the same clutch?

  • hi my name is zach carter i have 100 python snakes babies need to know wer to take them i havent got no rome for them email me at zach.zsc@hotmail.co.uk

  • i gotta say skinny pigs they just freak me out.i am fine with guinea pigs but the bald and little hairs on the skinny makes me shake.

  • Soo what are single double or triple hets?

  • @cmanclan101 single, double, and triple just refer to the number of genes the snake is het for.

    Het for albino: single het

    Het for albino and axanthic: double het

    Het for albino, axanthic, and ghost: triple het.

    etc.

  • i love this show love what you guys doing there so jelous

  • i know its a bit late, but sorry about your dog. my auntie has 2 16 year old border collies and one of them is having trouble moving, hearing and seeing and probably wont be around for much longer :(

  • Comment removed

  • @Nekrosis3 no it is possible but your chances are slim to none. For those people saying its not possible: how the hell do you think all those resessive and co-dominant morphs got there? Your chanes are probably close to 1 in every 2,000 or so

  • doesnt breeding sibling ball pythons result in a genetic mutation and heath problems? i know it works that way with dogs but im not sure with snakes...

  • @batistabomb979 yeah its like that for mamals, but not reptiles

  • I'm a video game tester. Not as awesome as it sounds, but it pays the bills :P

    I'm curious, what are the odds of breeding a normal to a normal and getting a mutation (such as albino) ?

  • @Nekrosis3 not possible unless the normals are both het albino

  • @Nekrosis3 0.0000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000% chance...unless there HET for albino :D

    I wanna be a video game tester :P

  • the white snake is weird :S

  • whers a goo place to buy other sorts of pythons like carpet pythons an bloods and ausies please coment i need to know

  • :55-1:02 Hey, up yours to Brian! jk. Closer inspection of the digit in question shows the snakes did not approve!

  • DANG! ball python genetics are so much more complicated than corn snakes. Corn snakes are all recessive or co-dominanat. None are complete dominant.

  • Kel's Question of the week. You guys have a sweet job, handling snakes all day. I am new to the snake world as I just got my first one. Love watching your vids. Anyways i am a private investigator licensed with the Ontario Government. Thanks for this video it answered many questions of mine.

  • How much are the pie or ghost snakes the white ones with the yellowish brown black spots?

  • so wat happens if u breed 2 normals wat will u get

  • @buggbunny1 all normals..

  • im a pre-vet student

  • if I BREED A RECESSIVE LEOPARD GECKO TO A RECESSIVE LEOPARD GECKO WILL THE OFFSPRING PHENO TYPE APEAR AS THE RECESSIVE PARENTS OR WILL THEY LOOK NORMAL DOMIN TYPE? THANKS 4 UR HELP.

  • Kel's QOTW: I work for Microsoft through a vendor supporting their worldwide datacenters. We manage backups (like all of the hotmail, xboxlive, msn, live, bing information + alot of hosted sites and services), internet URL redirection, and about 15 other services that my team provides for microsoft. I also work the graveyard shift. It's not as exciting and fullfilling as your jobs, but I enjoy the experience and learn new things every few hours :-p

  • but at the begining except for "normal" what morphs are found into the wild? I would guess: mojave,spider,pinstripe,pastel­...or I might be completely wrong

    thx for the answers :)

  • very helpful video thanks

  • What happens if you breed a male normal to a female pastel

  • How do you get a Pied?

  • its like the banana ball no one has the genetics for it

  • More genetics episodes please.

  • I have a question. if i breed an albino male to an albino female will they come out het? or does the albino need to be the female and normal male?

  • Doesn't matter the sex... if you breed an albino M/F to a normal M/F you will get hets.

    If you breed an albino M/F to an albino M/F you will get 100% albinos out of the clutch

  • im pretty sure 100% hets cause albino is recessive

  • woops didnt see your comment

  • i operate an m1a2 abrams tank for the army hooah!!

  • More genetics shows please!!!

  • i build cellphone tower

  • Hey Brian/Chewie.

    Waiting on some more genetic episodes! Biology background is itching to hear more!

    Thanks!

  • I'm only 13 but i kinda get it through my biology classes in school with brown and blue eyes and that. How do you identify different morphs hough like by name?

  • Well I'm a biology student so this was right on the money. Good work as usual.

  • great vid i learned alot. can u do a video with triple het recissive

  • hey brian you gonna do a part 2 on genetics'?

  • How do you know if a snake is codominant, dominant, or recessive gene? Can you only find out by breeding them?

  • so how would i get a spyder ball?

  • buy it

  • a spider is dominate, so a spider to a normal would give 50% spiders and 50% normals

  • i have a pretty sweet job..im a martial arts teacher

  • Comment removed

  • god dang it why couldn't i watch this video last year when i took biology this is so much easier to understand

  • thanks for the learning.. i always see your clips and never say thanks so heres me now saying thanks keep up the good work it is always good to learn thanks...it the best reptile learning on you tube in my mind spot on keep teaching us :o)) take care ;o))

  • Well done! I've got a degree in genetics and so all that is completely second nature to me, but I know most people are baffled by it, so well done for putting it into plain English that's easy for most people to understand!

  • CONFUSING!!

  • whens the next genetics' episode?

  • What would the outcome of breeding a normal kenyan sand boa to a anery sand boa

  • you are a nature fan? you love reptiles? insects? animals? then visit my you tube page

  • I co-own a small reptile specialty store in PA. The business is the same with breeding and sales but having family working together is never good. You should know best that business DOESNT always stay at your place of work.

  • Hey Brian I'm not sure if it's possible but is it possible to have a snake whose genetics make it like steel blue? It's a question I though of and decided to ask it

  • can u possably create a morph that is pure black

  • Great show as always!!! I get to draw on people all day, then tattoo it forever!!!! We also have a small collection of boas and balls, 2010 will be our first year...

  • ha ha i work at a reptil store:)

  • I want to be a genetic engineer, and I don't particularly like snakes, but I found this very cool. Thank you.

  • can u cross diffrent species?

  • Only some. Only try it if your experienced.

  • i work at home!!i sleep and breed leopard geckos and bearded dragons!!thats what i call a job!

  • Im a student and part time ecological consultant specialising in herps from southampton, UK!

    one of the best episodes yet! :)

  • well, I work at a reptile shop (here in MI) but nothin like you guys. I love mine, but I'd take your job any day ;)

  • what i do for a living is i get to fire people at my dad's restruant. By the way im only 12 (the funny thing) [:

  • oh!

    i work at Reptile Gardens right outside of Rapid City in South Dakota!!

    we have the biggest collection of diff. species and subspecies of venomous reptiles than any zoo or park anywere else!

    u guys should come!

    check out our snake n gator shows!

    n check out the sky dome with all our snakes! i personally like the Inland Taipan, and our wide veriety of mambas, big pythons, vipers..man i could go on forever!

    -great job

  • so if i take 2 pastels i should get 1 sup. pastel, 2 pastels and 1 norm?

  • righ in tha begining some sick ass snakes damn

  • if u get a pastel with a spider will it make bumble bees?

  • yes

    25% i think

    Francis

  • i have 2 '08 baby redtail boas and need to know what size mice they should be eating ? tthere about 2ft long and ive been feeding them 2 hoppers a week each. should i feed the next size up ?

  • feed your snake with rat (large size)

    because your snake will need 10 mice when he is at adult size

    Francis

  • Well my job is dangerous but fun and cool,

    I am a exotic tiger trainer for bab tigers and adult tigers, Its hard but actually fun!

  • im going to anaheim yay!!!!!!!!!!!

    cant wait to see u guys there

  • my job is house cleaning you should see all the weird stuff people have Ive seen people with stuffed dogs!!

  • Love your snakes ! checkout my post

  • great episode once again! haha so the goal is chewy'si got it. tht was easy lol! but im 14 and am just starting high school so my job is doin good and i also work part time at a local reptile/herp shop near my house.

  • My job is Doing good in school :3

    I hope I can major in Biology, and earn a good sum of my cash through working as a vet. Then, I want to work as a herpetologist. Road trips+Snakes= YES, please!

    I also want to breed pythons and constrictors. I would KILL for a baby Red Tail boa, but I don't have the money or space. My grandmother is our only neighbor- owns a two story 3br, 2ba house, and HATES snakes. It KILLS me; we live in one of those ancient block houses.

    Stinks being a 14 year old chick.

  • I was always iffy with genetics but this cleared some things up for me, thanks :)

    As for the question:

    No, I don't have an interesting job. I work in a small home decor/gift store and it's really not my thing. I'd love to work in a reptile breeding program or small exotic animal store.

  • My uncle majored in poultry sciences. He works in a poultry breeding facility....mainly with genetics.

  • i am currently at work and dont have the time to read all the comments to see if anybody has already asked but...

    i've watched probably a third of your vids so far (im new give me time) but i'm going to the daytona expo aug 22nd and i'm planning on getting a Borneo blood python. Can you do a segment on them, i know in the deadly python vid they were in there for a sec. i think they're the most beautiful snakes there are (specially if you get an orange headed one)

    oh i have a desk job.

  • Comment removed

  • very helpful vid

  • What do I do? Well by day i work at a pet store and by night im a bouncer. Then after that i work on my snake collection and rat breeders.

  • Sweetness! Still don't really get it but cool anyway. What I do for a living is love snakes, with a passion.

  • what do i do for a living " mehhh " im a 13 Yr old super hero :D

  • hi brian how long will it take my carolina corn to grow to full size?

  • Whew! My head is spinning after this episode! You guys did make it clearer to me - thanks for covering genetics. As for jobs: I do free herp lectures locally (schools, museums, public libraries, and so forth). I also take in herps that have been abandoned, and those that need to be re-homed. Darin is the "video game guru" at the local Best Buy, along with helping me with demos and critters. So, we both have fun jobs!

  • interesting not really im a high school student. during the summer i work at a machine shop and i work at wendy's all the time so im always straped for time

  • I work in a reptile shop in england, its my first job and havent been bitten yet. touch wood.

  • I work at a pet store. I work with the reptiles and stuff like that. Not to the extent you guys do. But hey its a start.

  • I work at my dads' shop Milano Pizzas, make the pizza boxes. But darn it he only pays me £2.00. I'm English.

  • helo this has nothing to do with the vd but are you selling cresties there not on your website i was looking for a diffrent morph female for my mal plz reply

  • when you breed a dominate to a dominate what happens if anything?

  • I work for a car manufacturer, the only part of it I can compare is putting the vehicles togother. All the different options make a different model.

    I like the show, trying to explain genetics but maybe do something with showing the snakes instead of the crew or a punnet square like some others have suggested.

    Love the pieds you had in the vid.

  • What i do for a living? Sit on my tush watching SnakeBytes!! Best job in the world!

  • I'm in I.T. - used to be a programmer and currently replacing my boss as she is on maternity leave. I manage the Product Development department until she comes back.

    I also agree with other posters - explaining genetics is easier to understand with regular Punnett squares rather than using faces from the crew... nice try though!

  • Hey Brian, what can i get if i cross a pastel with a spider?

    One more question. What would you get, male spider and female pastel or male pastel and female spider?

    Thanks Brian.

  • So are you saying if you cross a homo with a homo you get a chewy?

    Just kiddin'...great show!!!

  • I work at McDonald's and it's great! I would with a lot of great people, but I must say it looks like more fun working at bhb!

  • Dude u need to simplize this the heads was pretty confusing just use the genetic squares!

  • lol i acually work at a reptile store where we take rescues and we breed animals and sell lots go reptiles. my job is mainly cleaning out everything makeing sure everything is fed and that water bowls are clean :)

  • How in the world did you get a jaguar ball python!!!? My name is Josh and I'm new to ball python world and excited and was thinking of making jaguar pattern ball python. Inspired by looking at a high flame kenyan sand boa. So if you could help me out and let me know how did you accomplish this? Thanks! By the way love everything you guys do and are about. How did the repairs go after that horrible storm?

  • So if those two guys bred, like in the example, is there any chance of homozygous offspring? jk...

  • I'm just a freshmen in highschool! So i guess that makes me a student for a living. To give you a summary of my day I have to get up, get dressed, go to school, try to learn, come home, do my homework, take a shower, then go to bed. Life is tough!!

  • im a "pro" skateboarder thats my income, it pays the bills (barley) but the best parts to come home to see the reptiles. i think everybody has some creepy crawlys in em' lol

  • Me and my co-worker Josh Watch your youtube vids for a living in our Tattoo Shop. I tattoo, he pierces. and when we have down time its Snakebytes tv non stop. Come to FL and get tattoos!!!!

  • lol i eat sleep beath and cut grass thats me living

  • I work in a textbook warehouse, and no, it can't compare to your job. I put books in boxes for a few hours a day, and then once I'm done with that, I put more books in boxes. Maybe if it's a good day, I'll actually get to put some books in some boxes. That's the best!

  • Justin Guyer of Guyer Genetics

    I'm breeding reptiles on the side and hoping to make that into a living but right now my job as a correctional officer is paying the bills.

    So yeah, I get to do strip searches for a living. It gets pretty nasty when you get a guy who doesn't know how to whipe.

    I think you can see why I want out of that line of work!

  • I'm an English teacher in Spain!! I have two jobs and both are the same!! :S

    But my best job is when I arrive home and I have to take care of my animals and snakes and my boyfriend too!! XD

  • The punnett square method is by far the easiest way to understand genetics.

    And once you are able to work with it, you can pretty much calculate ANY morph out there in a matter of seconds. It's really easy. If you have trouble understanding genetics, i advice you to check out the punnett square system. Google it! It's easy :)

  • THANK YOU!!!!!

  • its sad that i actually understand the "dummie" version...=[

  • My job is one of the least interesting. Def not as cool as hanging out with snakes all the time. I'm a mailman. 2000-5000 pieces of mail come in, I put it them order, and take them out. Then I do the same thing the next day...and the next...and the next...and....

  • dude i love all your vids this one was awesome i was actually just about to ask about the double recessive stuff is there somewhere i can go to read about all the differnt like morphs and stuff in greater detal or any good book that actually go into detail about it all about ball pythons thank you

  • Haha this episode just made me want to bust out the Punnett Squares.

    I'm a full-time college student, but I'm trying to find a part-time job on the side. Job search not going too well at the moment unfortunately.

  • I got the best job in the world,sitting on my ass and playing video games! :P And I get payed anytime I ask!

  • Hey Brian, is it possible to LITERALLY get a 50/50 snake morph? Example being the first half of the snake would be albino and the second half of the snake being a Bumblebee-Pinstripe? That would be sooo coool!!!!!

  • he means half the cluch will be that not 50/50 snakes

  • i think my job is pretty good as i get too tell people about reptiles in tours

  • You guys should sooo come to the Montreal Show!!!!! I would definitely get a Spider ball from you!!!! (:

  • what would i get if i breed a normal ball to a het? i am attempting to open a reptile store just something for the townspeople to learn about them any advice

    Thnx.

  • Hi Brian

    I have a reasonably average job, i am a supermarket service manager. However my man dives with sharks for a living ! He works at the local aquarium and specializes in the coral, amazon and seal displays, but a part of his job he dives with and feeds the 10ft sharks in the huge one million gallon tank!!!

    Great show Brian, but lets. see those Boas, oh yeah the guys from the Scottish Exotic Reptiles Forum are hoping to organise a forum visit to the USA to come and visit your facility :)

  • i'm a waste and recycling operative. which is basically one of the people who go around with a big truck called a dustcart emptying peoples rubbish bins every day. it's a job that isn't for everyone but it's enjoyable for me because i'm always working outside in the fresh air rather than being stuck in a factory or office looking at the same boring 4 walls each day. also one of the safest jobs out there at the mo in the recession because there will always be rubbish bins that need emptying.

  • chores is what i do for a living...lol

  • HEY IS BRIAN GOING TO TORONTO EXPO

  • hi how would i get a Axanthic Pinstripe pied?

  • Comment removed

  • All i do for a living......I do nothin but im gonna try and get myself a job so i can get money but first im going to go college.

  • great show very helpfull.

  • hey do you guys ever go to the toronto breeders expo if so thats would be killer i would like to meet you guys

  • im 26 and i was born with muscular dystrophy ive had 37 foot and leg surgeries i walk but dont get around good i got my first ball python when i was 8 years old at the time didnt think much of it when i reached adulthood with my disability wasnt much i could do for a job so i decided 7 years ago to be work towards being a commercial reptile breeder im a long way from my goal dont make much money right now but i love what i do and keep going slowly build towards this dream on step at a time

  • Im a dance teacher @ sixteen lol :P i teach with my studio hip-hop jazz and lyrical/contemproary :) love the show guys!! im getting a all pretty soon here not sure what kind... have a candy corn already

  • Hey guys just love the show! I don't really have a job or anything, just a full time student learning biology, next we start the genetics course :) Its what interests me the most and I really think you did a great job of explaining the genetics! I should use this in my class! I hope to be a snake breeder one day! Keep on being awesome!

  • I am a porn star specializing in scat and pee.

  • Awesome show guys, you never cease to amaze me, but im going to to a senior in high school so i dont really have a career but i have been voulenteering for 4 years, i am the vice president of the Toledo Zoo teen program.

  • i watch your show for a living. no jk im EMT-Paramedic in Pb Arkansas. great show. You should do a show on about the discoveries and orgins of the snakes you breed. i know its all over the internet but it would be cool to see you and your crew's viewpoints.

  • I love Genetics its the fun part about Ball python breeding im always messing aorund with figuring out what I can make. I work For Isecuretrac they are a company that ships out house arrest units all over the US keeping trac of Offenders making sure there obeying there parole and law.

  • hey guys love the show my job is going to high school im a freshman this year kinda scray right?

  • yo im going to be a freshmen this year too yeah i would have to agree it is kinda scary.

  • hahaha. Dont annoy any seniors. Class of 2-0-1-0 = = = ME

  • basic bio make a punnett square...lol cool vid

  • Great video guys! My living is made repairing diesel trucks.

  • My job is almost as great as working at bhb. Yup thats right...I work for Amazon Reptile Center in Montclair/Covina California. The things that are definitely better at bhb are the thousands of snakes(especially ball pythons) and the crew is great, although so is mine

  • People still have jobs!!!?! Not fair! I was laid off, so my job is looking for a job. The hours and pay sucks, but I only have to answer to myself, and I gotta say, I'm a pretty cool boss. Hey, you hiring?

  • ughhh. i already knew all of that simple genetic stuff. you should do a more advnaced genetic vid.

  • i think he did a while back just look up some of his older vids
