It went into its new enclosure with no problems, and was cruising around checking things out. After a few hours I opened up to cage to double check temps and the little dude showed his true colors and gave me a fierce strike.

Really looking forward to watching the little thing grow and change over the years.

Very nice....Congrats :gj:

very pretty snake. thanks for sharing. i hope to add one very soon. they are just such tempting animals.

So cute and little. Congrats:gj:

Thanks guys. Once it settles down I'll have to get out the good camera for some better pictures.

Congratulations! It's always fun when those packages get delivered...

Beautiful!!! Congrats on the pickup.

Way kewl! Chondros rock! :)

Sweet...I have one of the sibs to yours.

Man, what an awesome and beautiful new addition!!!!!!!!!! Congrats :gj:

What a cutie!!! Welcome to the addiction.

i'm a neophyte on this type of forum, so i don't quite know what to do, but since this post seemed sufficiently related to my immediate purpose i wanted to ask whether anyone has any advice on keeping chondros.


i acquired a sub-adult recently from a collector who was downsizing, and previously i've only kept corns, ball pythons, and bearded dragons. plenty of experience with herps in general, but i've never kept anything with specialized i've done plenty of research into the husbandry requirements of GTPs, but i'm curious to know whether anyone has general advice about things such as the use of live plants, automated misting systems to keep humidity, optimal times for handling, etc.

thanks, and apologies to anyone if i haven't observed proper etiquette or if the post is off-topic.

Chris - glad it's settling in well for you!

wwmjkd - an automated misting system, while not inappropriate if done right, is way more complicated and expensive than what you need.
