My Second Chondro Photo Shoot (DUW)

My little girl(?) Mara shed the other day so it was time to get some shots of her(?). Her pattern is so much busier than my husbands little one Thorn. Next I'll try to get side-by-side shots of them. I think that would be neat.

I'm totally in love :P.

Lovely little chondro!

What a lil gem,that's why morelia is my favorite subject on here. Pictures like that.

HOLY MOTHER OF...:O
wowwee-ka-zowee that is some awesome color!
my daughter was like "ah its not real."
i'm like "um i think it IS!"
wow. just...wow.

Unbelievable snake and pics!!!!!!! You are seriously making me consider getting nto chondros.

Oh that is so awesome! The red is so vivid!!!

I've got another dumb question since I'm getting drawn into the GTP more and more every day. Can you not sex them when they are young?

Simply AMAZING! Wish they'd stay that color......

Nope - if you'd see a hatchling in person you'd understand why. Their tails are TINY and fragile. Honestly I don't know if my smallest probe would even be small enough for a hatchling. The usual rule is to wait at least a year and til they're a couple hundred grams or so (they're like 12g when they hatch) because you can damage the tail/spine when they're real young but it might not show up til later on.

To the OP: Nice chondros by the way...do you just have the reds or did you end up with any yellows?

Amazing color!

do they all turn green, sorry for the dumb question i just think they are so beautiful as babys yellow and red dont know what type this one is but thought I would ask. absoloutley amazing photography.

From one photographer to another, beautiful work! :D from one herp lover to another, BEAUTIFUL WORK! :D that snake is exotic and beautiful and reminds me of a volcano... awesome. thanks for sharing.

Thank you all for the wonderful complements! I haven't been on here for a while since I had visitors for the Holidays.

Thanks! We only have these two maroon neos right now but have been very tempted to add more chondros already :D. I saw a few yellow Biak x Kofiau neos for sale I love!!

Thanks!

They can be very colorful as adults. Anywhere from solid green to varying mixtures of yellow, blue, green and white to solid yellow.

Ours are a Jayapura x Lereh cross. I'm hoping they become green with blue dorsal striping.

Really lovely. Never seen one this color. :snake:

nope....some can be blue, others can be black but you have to have deep pockets to get either of those!

0_0 i wish these beautiful snakes were as avaliable in canada as they are in the states, i'd buy one in a heart beat!

Mindblowing color!!! I love Chondros.... They only stay this color for how long though before they reach there adult color?

What a screamer!!

Yeah, usually at about the 1 year mark they start to change into their adult colors. Mine just started the change a few weeks ago, very exciting to witness! Happens right before your eyes, greener and greener every day.

biaks tend to hold their color a little longer. some take 3 years to fully change.
