How to collect DNA from sheds for Ball Python morph tests

It’s time to reveal a new video tutorial that makes collecting samples for ball python testing a breeze! New to testing? Shed your worries – this step-by-step guide will show you how to easily gather and prep your samples for immediate results.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to collect samples from sheds. Less is more when it comes to extracting DNA. Roughly only 1-4 scales (~4mm worth) is enough for success.
  • How to make the process is quick. Add your scale(s) to the DNA extraction buffer, push to submerge it with a toothpick, and you’re ready to test!
  • How to avoid cross-contamination.  Keep an organized work-bench and clean or change gloves and use a new disposable tweezer and toothpick for every sample.

Important Note: The technique shown in this video applies to all of our ball python DNA tests!
