The one thing I struggle with is how "allelic" morphs work together - stuff like the BEL complex in ball pythons. Really happy to see the video notification, I love seeing your boas and enjoy the feel of your videos
I didn't want to get into that in this video is that brings in a hole different variable that is very morphe dependent. I may make another one talking about that but it works along the same lines as an incomplete dominant. Basically there are only two spots that can be taken up. Once those are filled nothing else can go into those locations. Think about it almost like a large parking lot but each row only has two parking spaces.
I hate trying to figure out genetics, it always seems to boggle my brain. You actually did an awesome job of explaining it though and I did manage to follow what you were saying, so that can't be bad 😊
Been trying to wrap my mind around genetics for a little while now... Your video has finally embedded the basics in my head lol Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge man!
Would really like to see some videos about the motley gene and what do I need to put together to make some of my own. Love there patterns and just getting into breeding and trying to learn all I can before I start
Not how I was taught, although the end state was the same. Your perspective on how to explain it helped me understand the idea better than 3 years of research and reading! Thanks Jason, as always. Great mentoring!
Thanks! You are so good at this, would you please do a video explaining the terms a lot of the reptile channels toss our way like what the heck is het, het, ressesive, potato chip, shoe? I took biology in high school so I have at least some inkling as to the difference between ressesive and dominant genes are. Some of the terms, especially when they are shortened, make no sense to me and probably less to those who have zero background. I know a lot of it is mostly important to those breeding snakes. To some of us, we'd like to understand a little more about our pets/companions since they will be with us a long time.
Genetics is a tough subject, took me ages to get my head around, co dominant, dominant and recessive genes. For me it helped learning about how genetic traits sit on an allele. Also maybe later cover how two separate genes can act like supers like the paradigm boa :) Did you produce the fires your self ?
The heating depends on the caging. I use under tank/heat pads for most. You can also use radiant heat panels, but again really depends on the caging. Uvb is a waste for boas in my opinion and my actually cause damage to their eyes if provided. Because they dont have eyelids the uvb can damage their eyes.
I really love every single video that you make. If I breed my fire burm to a pearl burm. What possible result? 50% fire, 25% ivory 25% Normal/pearl/albino?
I loved this video, I learned so much and you definitely know what you are talking about, I have a question, I have a Female Lipstick Sunglow, and I am expecting a male that is advertised as Motley 100% Het Kahl 50% Het Blood 50% Het Anery, I used the morphmarket calculator, but I want to know if they will make good, pretty babies? thanks a lot Manny
Jason's Exotic Reptiles . no problem buddy keep up the good work I’m currently getting into breeding boas I live in the uk but there are not many boa breeders here lots tend to breed ball pythons so good to allways gain some more info so much appreciated 🙏🏻👍🏻
Idk if you will see this, seeing that this video is from so long ago. So I have a male Blood Boa thats 66% het Vpi, and a Vpi Sunglow Pink Panther. So its not guaranteed that I get more sunglows breeding these two snakes? So if i want to be 100% sure my Vpi Sunglow creates more sunglows, I'd need to get another Boa thats 100% Vpi correct?
Something I think is helpful is to remember that the terms "dominant" and "recessive" are *relative* terms. If we say "the dumbo gene in rats is recessive" what we really mean is "dumbo is recessive to wild-type". Another way to say the same thing is "wild-type is dominant to dumbo." Wild-type is just the version of the gene we expect to see in the wild. I use dumbo rats as the example because they are freaking adorable and you should Google them.
You said motley doesnt have a super form but to clarify it does have a super form but the super form babies never live to adulthood if they are born alive at all. It's the same for the jungle gene. Just wanted to say that so someone that just watches this doesn't think it's ok to breed 2 motley together.
Yes that's a good catch. I said a few things in the video incorrectly but for one take not bad Haha. I'm my head I was thinking IMG but I was looking at a motley tag in front of me haha.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles all cool man your putting some really good info out there! I went to college for genetics and this video was more understandable then most of the stuff I had to read/hear in college.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles I can't speak for the US, I'm from Germany and still remember that I the teacher used peas and flowers and eventually genetic diseases as examples.
@@Random-Saurus I live in the US I was taught Genetics and punnett squares in middle school and again high school so this should be something everyone from the 90's and onward SHOULD know. Can't speak for anything older than me
It's standard in science classes, but nobody remembers for some reason. We all did algebra in 7th grade, but most people couldn't solve a quadratic equation to save their life.

I'd love to see a video on the different morphs/localities in the future!
Random yes i agree!
I would as well.
@8:53 WOW that pattern movement
I did enjoy ,,, and thanks ,,, i am working on the understanding of the situations at hand Genes n all '
Very clearly explained. I want to see more videos of genetics.
Thank you!
You explained everything quite well. Your line of reasoning was easy to follow, keep the great videos coming.

@@JasonsExoticReptiles That makes a lot of sense, thank you
Really hit the nail on the head with the explanations 👍 small words making big points 🔥
Thank you!
Thanks for making the videos. You truly have answered more questions about my boa than any other reptile channel with your video topics
Thank you for watching!
I hate trying to figure out genetics, it always seems to boggle my brain. You actually did an awesome job of explaining it though and I did manage to follow what you were saying, so that can't be bad 😊
I'm happy to hear that! I was watching it back myself getting confused so hopefully it was helpful to some
@@JasonsExoticReptiles It was easier to follow with you actually showing the snakes.
Been trying to wrap my mind around genetics for a little while now... Your video has finally embedded the basics in my head lol
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge man!
Thanks for watching!
thanks man. I was able to figure it out half way threw the video. still going to finish it though.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
That leopard is crazy cool looking
Would really like to see some videos about the motley gene and what do I need to put together to make some of my own. Love there patterns and just getting into breeding and trying to learn all I can before I start
Motley is incomplete dominant so motley will make more motley.
@JasonsExoticReptiles so if I breed a motley to a normal should get half and half if I'm understanding this right. And is ghost the same
Thanks! Very informative.
Not how I was taught, although the end state was the same. Your perspective on how to explain it helped me understand the idea better than 3 years of research and reading! Thanks Jason, as always. Great mentoring!
Ahhhh genetics 101, no easier now than it was in high school
Haha nope

Yes I can take a go at it
"i wish i had a board to write this on" would've been awesome lol super interesting thanks for sharing
Yes, I may have to redo this video with a whiteboard. I was stumbling over a couple of my words and hopefully didn't confuse in the process
Explaining ball python genetics with boas lmao great video jason.
Haha! Well this is just simple genetics on any reptile but I had to throw in a few ball python examples in there.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles haha I was just giving you shit.
Good evening Jason, can you demonstrate with P-generation to f1 cross toF2 F3, and so on. Thank you
Within boa's please
I'll see what I can do.
Great video my friend!

Did you produce the fires your self ?
Thank you. No I purchased these guys but have a few adults that I'm hoping we'll go this year.
Thank you Jason good explanation
Thank you, this was a helpful lesson.
Love your videos!
What's your recommended style of heating for a boa imperator?
Also what do you think about UVB for boas?
The heating depends on the caging. I use under tank/heat pads for most. You can also use radiant heat panels, but again really depends on the caging.
Uvb is a waste for boas in my opinion and my actually cause damage to their eyes if provided. Because they dont have eyelids the uvb can damage their eyes.
Thanks .
I really love every single video that you make. If I breed my fire burm to a pearl burm. What possible result? 50% fire, 25% ivory 25% Normal/pearl/albino?
There is no fire burm but I assume you are talking hypo. Hypo to pearl would give you 50% hypo 25% ivory 25%normal all 100% het albino
@@JasonsExoticReptiles yess I mean hypo. Why others call hypo as fire?
But what happens if u breed a super to a super or a viual to a visual no one ever explains this
The result would be all supers or all visuals
Great information, but everytime I watch a video on snake genetics I seem to walk away even more confused
I loved this video, I learned so much and you definitely know what you are talking about, I have a question, I have a Female Lipstick Sunglow, and I am expecting a male that is advertised as Motley 100% Het Kahl 50% Het Blood 50% Het Anery, I used the morphmarket calculator, but I want to know if they will make good, pretty babies?
thanks a lot
Manny
It depends on what you define as good, pretty babies. I will take the results of the Calculator and look up on North market what they look like
Good video bud
Thank you!
Jason's Exotic Reptiles . no problem buddy keep up the good work I’m currently getting into breeding boas I live in the uk but there are not many boa breeders here lots tend to breed ball pythons so good to allways gain some more info so much appreciated 🙏🏻👍🏻
So I wanna work on getting more super fires and snows and moons so can anyone tell me what I would have to get to get started
Awesome video
Thank you
No problem nice collection by the way
@@RoyalEmpireConstrictors thanks man!
Do you have a store location people could visit to talk with you about boas personally or just to see the collection/available snakes in person?
I do not. I try to get around to the local shows to see people but no hard location the people can visit
@@JasonsExoticReptiles Are you going to be at that Jan 5th expo in NH?
Man I like the leopard your holding!? Is he or she for sale by chance ?
He is not, but I hope to be making more this season.
What happens if your breed to supers together? Does that give you a chance at 50% supers?
You get all supers.
@@JasonsExoticReptiles Thanks for the reply. When you inbreed back crosses do you have to look out for defects in snakes?
Do you filter water for your enclosures? If so, what matereals do you use? Limescale is a b***h to get off of glass.
I do not. My city tap water is pretty good so no need on my end
nice vid!!!!i have a question.A boa from morph breeding was smaller than the normal breeding animal???
I'm not sure I understand the question
@@JasonsExoticReptiles my false!!! A boa imperator with no locality is smaller than the other boa imperator?
Idk if you will see this, seeing that this video is from so long ago. So I have a male Blood Boa thats 66% het Vpi, and a Vpi Sunglow Pink Panther. So its not guaranteed that I get more sunglows breeding these two snakes? So if i want to be 100% sure my Vpi Sunglow creates more sunglows, I'd need to get another Boa thats 100% Vpi correct?
That’s correct.

Isn't this taught in school? Dominant, recessive, co-dominant... That's the genetics 101.
It should be, but for the volume people that don't understand that I'm assuming it isn't.

It's standard in science classes, but nobody remembers for some reason. We all did algebra in 7th grade, but most people couldn't solve a quadratic equation to save their life.
At least your using the correct term incomplete dominant instead of co-dom.
I honestly use them both interchangeably. I'd love to say that I am strict with that but I am totally not Haha
