Re: My First Chondro (GTP)!!
Thank you all for your comments. Sorry it took so long for me to respond. My PC has been messed up, and has just been fixed.
I bought my GTP from Rico at Signal Herpetoculture, http://signalherp.com/ . Rico is very reputable in the Morelia business, and was highly recommended by a fellow bp.netter juddb. The reason that I decided to purchase the one that I did, is because his parents both have green, yellow, and blue, which is exactly what I want hope mine has once he changes into his adult colors. He should be mostly green with some yellow scales on his belly, and his pattern should turn blue. He is doing great, and I love him already.
Again, thanks for all of your comments. They are greatly appreciated.

Not necessarily true. Color depends on the bloodline and locale. I have produced animals that are nearly 95% yellow as adults, and I've seen animals that are 99.9% yellow. There are more and more color variations of chondros popping up every season........black, calico, blue, yellow, albino. There out there and it's only a matter of time before you see them.

Chondros genetics are still not fully understood. The animals above were produced from a pair of very plain adults. When locales are crossed, there is always the possibility of producing something unique.....the element of chondro surprise.
