Wow! well done Kinova team, the effort you guys have put in over the years is world class from a business perspective. Professional, high quality videos, with animals that are breathtaking. Thanks for giving us what you do, and thanks for inspiring the hobby! Excited to see what 2024 brings you! Happy New Year!
Wow everyone of those snakes is inspiring. I cannot wait to see what you do in 2024. I’m new to balls I have 6 and will try breeding next year? My plan is to get a male sunset and make some cool double and triple hets and raise those up and breed back. My ultimate goal is a ultramel sunset hypo desert ghost clown I know really hard and will take a long time but nothing worth wile is quick and easy.
I was disappointed with the number 1 spot. I mean ik its subjective but 1 could have been in the 10 spot and 10 could have been number 1 and i would have been fine with that. I just think D.G is overrated. I would love to see a video with the best stand alone gene and what animals would top that list!?!
for new participants, have you done a video explaining and highlighting what each of these "pieces" are? some are more obvious than others, but some are a little difficult for a newer viewer to understand
I'm a geneticist with my well-funded biomedical research ab. I'm curious about these. Mostly recessive traits I assume, though you say some dominants. Semi-dominants? So the combinations are pretty rare one you get more than a couple genes in play. A quad recessive would be 1 in 256 from two all-hets. So what do you do with those not expressing desirable traits? Or those carrying no helpful alleles? Do you sequence for molecular detection and then use PCR to genotype? And as somebody who works in invertebrate model organisms, do you mutagenize and screen for new traits? Curious about genome size (in megabases). Or maybe just recommend a good book. :)
For the past 30-ish years, the industry has developed by visual identification of morphs (traits) when possible. Recessive traits are tracked through lineage and proven out through breeding in cases where whether or not an animal carried the trait was unknown. The vast majority of mutations we work with are incomplete dominant, but there are about a dozen or so recessive traits that are prevalent in the industry. Only a few quad recessive animals have been made within the past few years. Multi-recessives are becoming more common as we start breeding homozygous individuals. Within the past 2-3 years, PCR testing for some mutations has become available which has reduced the need to prove traits out via breeding to a degree. This is a new development though and not available for all traits.
Wow! How could anybody even choose #1 it’s next to impossible! this ball python genetic game has jumped way further then I could have ever anticipated Justin is the number one pick of all python breeders that’s my pick😂
nothing like trying to market DG after the info came out on it and half the folks are getting out of it. LMAO On the flip, AMAZING creations as always!
simple recessive? So like albino, pied, clown, etc? I dont think so. While not hard for some to understand, its not what id call "simple recessive" @@matt687
Dame brother thm are sick as hell and gota give thnks to Brain Barczyk for the amazing sunset gene he was the first to make it thn it was stolen but anyways uv got amazing work and i still cant get over the kinova name justen 😂im get. Thr tho bigs fan of both u guys for a very long time
Does brown ones with the brown chocolate spots that are all white what are those called and that one in your hand it's all brown the dark chocolate is really beautiful
I appreciate so much that you are looking to make snakes that are gorgeous adults. It may help future animals be valued and well treated. Which makes it good for the snakes, not merely fun to watch!
