    Check out a morelia forum and see what you can find. There are some people on the forum who own GTPs, so you can discuss your questions with them and they may show you pics of their setups so you know what to have in your setup.

    If you can keep carpets, you can keep chondros. The only real difference is they are arboreal....and very easy to keep.

    I agree with Brandon they are not as hard to keep as most think, it’s just about doing a little research and having the knowledge. Proper housing can really make it easy to keep them too.

    I recommend Greg Maxwell’s book "The More Complete Chondro".
    The book is outstanding and very helpful

    In reality, they are actually probably one of the easiest captives you can keep. They feed once every 7-10 days and only crap about once every 2-4 weeks. The only real maintanance is daily spraying.

    Once you have the animals cage and its requirements on point and consistent then you should have no problems! Good luck
