new chondro pics

Nice Biak type.

Matthijs, you need to get over your fears and just get one. Start with something older. They are only fragile when they are really tiny. Get one and join the addiction.

Ummmmmmm no they aren't. I handle mine all the time!

i bought it as an unknown local type. but like brandon said, most of the traits point to Biak. i handle her as often as she will let me. she is one of the weird chondros that only perches at night. i really love her shade of green and eventually i hope to get a male around that same shade!!

I was gonna post Biak type but Brandon beat me. Biaks take the longest to change in most cases. In 6 moths this gal will look compltely different.

Dutch, adults aren't that fragile and I can hold both of mine. My male is like a carpet, he's great. I'm a little iffy with my female. Neos can be nippy and yearlings typically are very aggressive. This is a snake that tames with age and not handling. Biaks have the worst rep out of all them and I personally believe it to be true. Jaya, Sorong, and Aru are typically the most calm IMO.

Awesome pictures!

this one is not mean in the least! you can even hold her at night!

Beautiful Pics and Beautiful Snake!

Freakin sweeeeet dude! *reaches for the oakley's*:cool:

Alright guys, I don't mean to hijack a thread and I'll start a new one if the thread starter wants me to, but I'm quite confused.

First of all, I'd love to get a baby or neonate because of their color change; absolutely fascinating.

Second, I don't give a dang about bites, so that's no issue.

Are www.pvccages.com good cages for them? It seems like they're ideal...?

MUST I have an elevated water bowl? Do I mist daily?

These are the first few questions, so thanks in advance for any input :gj:

Also, if you go to www.pvccages.com, I was looking at the 24x24x24 cage... are 1" perches good enough for life?

Please fill me in!

I've read many caresheets and always wanted one but the thing that kept me away from them was the daily misting and the fragility; I'd hate to hurt one of these beauties.
