New chondro clutch photos

Had 13 hatch and 1 full-term red dead in the egg. These are half-siblings to the clutch I posted a month or so ago and the first thing we noticed was how light the yellow hatchlings are. It's a pretty major change from the others we've hatched out, and the picture below with just two yellow snakes in shows the difference between this clutch and the last with regards to the yellows' patterns and overall color. It's pretty intense!

Comparison - the one with the darker pattern was typical of the previous clutch, and all of the yellow ones from this clutch have the lighter pattern

WOW, congratz on the babies. Really nice looking GTP's :sweeet:

Awesome!!!!!

:O SO COOL!! I love GTPs... It must be so exciting.... They look so different when they grow up, it's cool to watch them change! I want to see what the babies from the first clutch look like as adults compared to these with the lighter patterning when they go through their changes!

Just beautiful... I think they are awesome, and I really want one....:gj:

Wow They are stunning!!!!! I wish They would stay either red or yellow. They are drop dead gorgeous. Congratulations

Pretty much... we stick a perch in the hatch bin and collect them off of it when they come out. It's all instinct at that age - usually within the first couple of nights they'll start using their tail to try to lure in prey too.

My wife laughed at this for a good 5 minutes :)

Congrats on the great clutch! Then again how can a clutch of morelia not be great? :D

Goodluck with all of them. GTP's will be in my collection some day

Dude that red is nuts. They even have red eyes. What color will the red ones turn and how long will it take?

Absolutely beautiful babies!! Congrats!! The red ones are insane looking... it's too bad they don't stay that color. I can't wait til I have the money and space to get one of these guys!!

The reds turn the same colors as every other chondro out there, but in past clutches we've produced what are called "mite phase" ones (green but with some black scales thrown in here and there) from the super dark red ones.

We've had them start turning at 3 months but for certain localities it can take up to a couple of years to completely change over.

Gorgeous babies! I love the first pic where they are all bunched together!

IMO these types of snake babies are the cutest kind ever. Congrats, they are gorgeous :)

Agreed - we're having a blast with feeding trials!

awesome :snake:!
