I’m a stay at home mom and I have a huge passion for animals. I’m trying to figure out how to do what I love and earn an income to help support my family. I love watching this channel. I’ve learned soo much!!
Chris the information you give us is priceless. Thank you! This year will be my first year and I've learned so much from you. I'll be so glad when I get to meet you..
The only drawbacks is the raising of your breeding animals. I invested in several $700-$1500 animals, with no intention to make that money back. I love the animals, and will eventually most likely breed them. I think breeding ball pythons can be extremely rewarding, and bring money, but if you don't love the animals and the hobby, your going to burn out and regret it. Best of luck with your breeding season by the way Chris.
Great video! Can you do a video about how you sell your snakes and how you market your company? You've got a very realistic and business savvy mentality for breeding and I like it a lot. Keep em coming!
Hey Chris thank you so much for the videos! Literally every question I have, you have a video for. So helpful and I’m so appreciative. You have inspired another to start breeding! So I plan on starting with one male and around 8-10 females. My question is should my one male be enough for that number of females, or what your suggestion would be for amount of females for one breeder male. I’ve also read that having another male around helps your breeder male. So I was thinking maybe a normal to save money? Any insight or information would be appreciated!
I am so glad I got into this I have a pie ball python on the way female and I have a fire ghost hek ball python female. So let me know how much your Selling one of your males bamboo ball pythons for. Great video thank you
do u have a breeding tutorial? or book for first time breeders im starting my first session today actually and i’ve got most down packed but i want more info from u from the pros of the game i love snakes they’ve been my passion ever since i was a little boy and i turn 20 this year have had multiple ball pythons carpet pythons red tails etc but i’m doing a normal ball clutch for my first and i’m super excited to see where all of this goes
Nice video. Thank you for the inspiration and the tips. I just have a question, what morph is the last Ball Python that you showed at the end? Not sure if it is a Fire Fly or Enhance pastel. I have one just like that and the person who handed her to me didn't know the exact morph. I would really appreciate your help.
Really nice video. Easy money 💰 but you know me already from past comments. I love snakes but I can’t raise them. That’s why I watch snake vlogs and reptile expo videos. Very good info though
Hey getting that much store credit for your snakes at pet shops is really common in Colorado because most places i have been and this has been in a couple different states say if u have a 4 or 500 dollar snake they will only give u like maybe 50 to a hundred dollars store credit and then usually half to be a regular customer now i was friends with someone who owned a pet shop that would take of me in that way but thats the only way or unless u are a well known breeder like yourself but for the average joe its extremely hard if at all to get even close if at all store credit of the value of your snake. because me and my daughter are starting a little ball python investment and would like for it to at least pay for itself if not thats ok to as long as we can beat the odds and produce something we want to keep permanently well awesome vid brother
This is such a good video. Thanks for your honesty. I am trying to make a better life for my son and have been thinking of getting into this, but was thinking of getting older snakes that have already been bred or are ready - but I'm so scared the older ones will bite. Also, I am wondering if I put it in a terrarium (live plant habitat) if I can breed it in there? I've heard snakes are healthier with live plants (I don't have a green thumb)
Really love your channel. Just bought my first Ball Python, a cinnamon pied. You’ve helped me out with deciding on things. If you ever start shipping I would be proud to own one of your snake! Do you have a Facebook page or website?!
Great video and gorgeous snakes! I'd love to get into breeding boas. I wonder what the return on breeding them is compared to ball pythons. I have two pet ball pythons and love them, but my first love is boas! I'm a huge fan of Bullsnakes and Western Hognose as well!
I wouldn’t recommend doing anything solely for money especially when it’s animals you’re working with. Standards should be higher than they are in the industry of how we take care of them.
I don't think that was the point of this video, but you aren't wrong. Even with my very limited experience (seriously limited; I'm talking had a ball python when I was 14 limited), doing anything strictly for money or just to shut your kids up often leads to poor treatment of the animal.
We wouldn’t have 80% of the animals available to us if everyone thought like you and that is a conservative estimate you have no idea what it took to create the hobby we have today including smuggling you know nothing
I have a 3-4 year old spiderball female (unsure age bc she was found in a yard). I've had her for a year now along with my columbian rainbow boa. I've been looking into breeding her with a butter as a personal project. Maybe i can do something like this when i do finally breed her.
I just got a 7 year old 0.1 albino and a 4 year old 1.0 pie bald and a 5 tier rack system for 400 dollars from Craigslist, it was too good of a deal I couldn’t pass
Are there any ball python morph breeding books, websites, etc. that you recommend for educational purposes? The newest book I could find online was 6 years old. Appreciate your content!
Is there a website/ place you recommend to get a good deal on some adult ball pythons. I’m looking to buy a few pieds like you were talking about but I’m having trouble finding anything under $500 and can’t find anything on Craigslist. Thanks in advance video was a big help!
I invested in a breeding pair of green anacondas, retic super dwarfs, scorpions, and huntsman spiders hope to make 2000+ a month should easy with anacondas being expensive
If you're talking about breeding and selling, getting the buyers for them can be difficult sometimes. It's not impossible, but you gotta know who to ask. Take care and God bless.
I've never had problems getting buyers for my hatchlings. In fact at the spring shows everyone is looking for ball python hatchlings to sell at the shows, there is a real shortage of them for vendors. If you have any in the spring let me know, I'll pay half retail price and take all you have!
I also never have a problem selling babies. And i breed alot of spider and spider combos. They fly out of the tubs and yes i inform every buyer about the spider wobble. Although most are good about it and have already done their research.
If I got a Patel banana clown and bred it with my normal female would I get anything visually different from just normal ? Is it still totally up to chance even with a visual parent?
what I did is I bought ball pythons that all have at least 2 co-dominant genes and one recessive gene and so for example I recently bought 2 females that are orange dream, yellow belly, and are het piebald. and then I bought a male that is orange dream, yellow belly, and visual piebald and I still need to raise them up but the reason I recommend going the 2 co-dominant gene 1 recessive gene route. Is because you will only get high end morphs this way and you won't get hardly any normals and the normals you do get will still be het for piebald or any other recessive gene for example the ball pythons I bought will produce all these morph combinations.. 3% Super Orange Dream Super Yellow Belly Piebald 6% Super Yellow Belly Orange Dream Piebald 6% Super Orange Dream Yellow Belly Piebald 3% Super Orange Dream Super Yellow Belly 100% Het Piebald 13% Orange Dream Yellow Belly Piebald 6% Super Yellow Belly Orange Dream 100% Het Piebald 6% Super Orange Dream Yellow Belly 100% Het Piebald 3% Super Yellow Belly Piebald 3% Super Orange Dream Piebald 13% Orange Dream Yellow Belly 100% Het Piebald 6% Yellow Belly Piebald 6% Orange Dream Piebald 3% Super Yellow Belly 100% Het Piebald 3% Super Orange Dream 100% Het Piebald 6% Yellow Belly 100% Het Piebald 6% Orange Dream 100% Het Piebald 3% Piebald 3% 100% Het Piebald
I've been thinking about getting in to ball pythons maybe just 1 or 2 pair . Trying to fully decide on what morph to work with . Something bright and clean .
Maybe get 3 females of varying morphs then get one male with multiple genes boom you have a great year i recommend fire, leopard, and pastel for the females and really any multi-gene male will work
Breeding is something that I have wanted to try for decades and could finally be happening. With that said based on my calculations of CoGs and a selling point of 300/ea 60 neonates a year that yields 1500 a month if you breed your own rats. Profit drops down to 1250 a month if you buy from rodent pro. If you go rodent pro route you need to sell all 60 neonates at a minimum of 450$ea. Large scale breeders must have many Revenue streams as this doesn’t make dollars and cents.
Proven snakes can be a good investment buuut make sure to get them from someone reputable people. Ask if they are problematic in any way. How old they are, how many clutches have they had and did they have issues while she was gravid. Are her genetics guaranteed Are they picky feeders...mousers, asf rats? You just need to be careful and ask the right questions. Also, a lot of breeders will sell proven females right after she is starting to fattened up after her last clutch and you GENERALLY want to wait for the next breeding season to breed her (although many breeders will breed females back to back).
I have several ball pythons different morphs....I'm trying to get setup the hardest part is having all the enclosures and everything set up properly think I just have to get everything more organized
I am a bit confused. Since keeping and breeding ball pythons seems to be on the lower end of animal husbandry work requirements, why don't all collectors breed them themselves? I would think the demand for ball pythons would vastly decrease as more get acquired due to this. How does demand maintain itself after several years of investment? I'd have thought it would become saturated by now.
Most of the people buying high end morphs are collectors. So the demand is relatively constant. It takes 3 years at least to raise a generation, that's a lot of time and work so it's not free money. When I was 12 an Albino BP hatchling was over 2,000, now they're 300. So the demand did go down as more people bred them. But that takes a long time, and now there are many more morphs that fetch an even higher price.
@@maxcarren112 Thanks Max. Since I wrote that I've done far more research and it appears that phenotypic variation as well as a new basic morph coming into the population every year or so means that the market seems to refresh itself regularly. Also, it seems that things like paradox and chimerism fetch a hefty price and those are unlikely to saturate the market due to their non-genetic nature. It is really impressive just how vast and diverse ball python morphs are.
Nope, no email. I used to have one but I started getting hundreds of emails every day, too many to deal with so I got rid of it. Now I just post videos and respond to comments under the videos.
Yea, I had to dump my phone, way too many texts and e-mails. It's a bit overwhelming LOL. I had a Spider video go a bit viral and at that point I couldn't keep up with the comments under the videos either, not sure how big channels do it.
This is why i dont mind making single gene or simple double gene morphs even hets that are not that expensive even normals still get 50$ each and people tend to buy them more then the higher end morphs its kind of surprising how many simple genes are sold every year
Angela Conley it would work, you just have to maintain a heated room for them. There’s actually a LOT of people that want balls in Alaska but they can’t get them because it’s too cold to ship them that far north. If there was someone breeding in Alaska that they could go to to get them that person would make a killing.
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures both but I lean torwards the dark ones that have a pop of color like highway? And bright ones like bumblebee or butter enchi spider
Man ball pythons are expensive where you live, where I live in Canada a normal ball python goes for like 30-50$ at most even pastels are only like 100$, seems to be a pet for warmer climates. You can make a killing breeding live stock here though.
I’m looking to getting into breeding, and am not sure about pricing according to morph quality. Do you think morph market is over priced, and how do you know if you are getting a good deal?
Good question! Some newbies will almost give their snakes away and price them really low. Once you are in it for awhile you realize they will sell at 'normal' prices, and depending on the time of year and availability you can get an even higher price. Doesn't really matter if you are breeding, you'll always make money in the end. I usually buy what looks the best to me LOL.
Believe it or not i do quite a bit of business on craigslist then everything else is sold through social media facebook, Instagram, youtube and auctions.
Chris Hardwick thanks I’m just now getting into ball pythons. Thinking about breeding in the future. So I’m all over Craigslist looking for good deals. I have a ghi pastel right now still don’t know sex. But what would match up well with the ghi pastel? Thanks man. Liked and subbed.
@@alleykat6145 Ball Python wild types are super common. There's a lot of demand for them as first time pets for kids and whatnot, but not so much from hobbyists and breeders. So, lower price. There were just so many of them imported.

Are provens/older snakes worth more than hatchlings? I'm very curious/confused about how pricing works in the ball python world. 😅
Proven snakes can be a good investment buuut make sure to get them from someone reputable people. Ask if they are problematic in any way. How old they are, how many clutches have they had and did they have issues while she was gravid. Are her genetics guaranteed Are they picky feeders...mousers, asf rats?

That's a tough one, depends if you like the bright snakes or the dark ones, lots to choose from!
@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures both but I lean torwards the dark ones that have a pop of color like highway? And bright ones like bumblebee or butter enchi spider
@@user-xg8ij1hs3x aren't the spiders born disabled though?
Can anyone sell on morph market or do you need licences?
Anyone can sell.
Man ball pythons are expensive where you live, where I live in Canada a normal ball python goes for like 30-50$ at most even pastels are only like 100$, seems to be a pet for warmer climates. You can make a killing breeding live stock here though.
Here snakes are better than any livestock, but I do like my cows LOL
“With JUST 15 snakes” LOL
They are almost like a pet rock. 😂
I’m looking to getting into breeding, and am not sure about pricing according to morph quality. Do you think morph market is over priced, and how do you know if you are getting a good deal?
Good question! Some newbies will almost give their snakes away and price them really low. Once you are in it for awhile you realize they will sell at 'normal' prices, and depending on the time of year and availability you can get an even higher price. Doesn't really matter if you are breeding, you'll always make money in the end. I usually buy what looks the best to me LOL.

Whats around his wrist??
That's a remote control to turn my camera on and off.
I'm trying I gotta get some more female snakes though

That's a serious animal.
Ok, $2000 a month once you cover operating operating expenses? Like free and clear?
4 to 5 years to breed a retic female
I am trying to sell my snakes and I can’t find a buyer. Maybe it’s the location?
Maybe look for local pet stores that deal with reptiles, they usually will give you a fair price for snakes.
Believe it or not i do quite a bit of business on craigslist then everything else is sold through social media facebook, Instagram, youtube and auctions.
Time is money; work smarter, not longer. :)
Is this worth $500. 7mo old Champagne Het VPI Axanthic female?
Sounds about right!
Chris Hardwick thanks I’m just now getting into ball pythons. Thinking about breeding in the future. So I’m all over Craigslist looking for good deals. I have a ghi pastel right now still don’t know sex. But what would match up well with the ghi pastel? Thanks man. Liked and subbed.
What kind of $50 snakes do you have.
None right now, they sell fast!
This is one thing I don't understand about the snake business, their is a low supply and a high demand and snakes are only selling for fifty dollar's?
@@alleykat6145 Ball Python wild types are super common. There's a lot of demand for them as first time pets for kids and whatnot, but not so much from hobbyists and breeders. So, lower price. There were just so many of them imported.
I wish my mom would let me get a ball python but she is scared of snakes.🙄😢
She just hasn't met the right snake yet LOL
Same here
Show me the money Chris. LOL
