Hi Clint! When shopping for a specific ball python morph online, how can one be absolutely sure of the animal's genetic profile? Is there a 23andMe DNA test for reptiles? P.S., the people demand more screen time for Leisha!

2020-07-10 17:03:30 +0000 UTCCan you give an overview of crested gecko genetics? Is there any way to determine the traits a hatchling is likely to exhibit based on its parents? And to what extent? For example, will two Dalmatians make a super Dalmatian? Thanks so much! Love your channel!

2020-07-10 01:13:31 +0000 UTCHey Clint - love your video on Children's pythons. Would you consider doing a head-to-head video of Children's pythons vs another small snake, and do you have advice on finding one in the US? (as well as finding other Australian species in the US?)

2020-07-09 23:24:01 +0000 UTCHey Clint I was wondering if you could explain parthenogenesis and which animals can do it. I know some animals like morning geckos and whiptail lizards reproduce like this all the time but when I was at nerd I heard someone talking about animals who normally reproduce sexually like komodo dragons rarley somtimes practicing parthenogenesis. Taking the nerd tour was amazing by the way and anyone who is in NH or MA should check it out

2020-07-09 17:46:54 +0000 UTCThere are some in herptoculture that are heavily promoting the need for UVB exposure in snakes. In fact there have been some studies with very different conclusions. Would you please give your opinion on what (if any) value UVB exposure would have for snakes? I believe this would be a great subject for a video or series of videos. Thanks!

2020-07-09 15:04:30 +0000 UTCMy son has ball python eggs! They should be hatching in the next week to 10 days. He tried 3 different males with his female (she is pastel). She did not lay for nearly 5 months after. In a case with multiple males and retained sperm, is it possible to get multiple fathers? She was with banana pastel, lesser pastel, and a normal. The normal was the only confirmed lock. Either way, we look forward to seeing what babies we get. Thanks!

2020-07-09 14:18:51 +0000 UTCThough many reptiles are best kept singly except for breeding, some thrive in communal setups. What are some of your favorite communal reptiles?

2020-07-09 13:03:46 +0000 UTCHello Clint, Royal (Ball) Python enclosure/enrichment question. What is your opinion on providing climbing opportunities for a royal python? Do you think a Royal Python is a "heavy bodied" snake that would hurt itself climbing or that given their natural habitat some climbing opportunities make sense? I've noticed this seems to be a contentious point in the hobby, with some passionate voices on both sides of the argument.

2020-07-09 07:44:26 +0000 UTCHi Clint. Do you think that some variation of an epilepsy drug might lessen the effects of wobble in Ball Pythons. If a powder was made similarly the the calcium powders used for MBD you could dust the rodents to administer the dose.

2020-07-09 07:23:02 +0000 UTCHello! I had a question about where to keep a cage. I have pet rats and would like to have a hognose or ball python soon. How far away from my rats’ room do I need to put my snake cage so my snake isn’t constantly in food mode? Thanks!!
