    chondro feeding pic
    does anyone have any pics of chondros feeding??
    i know they are arboreal snakes, but can they feed while they are "hanging" onto a tree/branch...?

    They do eat from the branches.. I believe Kavmon said he would take pics of his chondros feeding next time.

    I've got a few shots on my cell phone of a GTP eating a mouse from a branch. Its pretty cool to see. They grab it from the branch, constrict it in the air, and swallow it all while hanging from the branch. Very cool.

    Heres a few shots I found elsewhere:

    That's a zebra finch. The owner finally resorted to trying some birds, the chondro hadn't eaten in like 8 months. Unlike ball pythons, chnrondo's will often make meals out of birds.

    I have pics of my bp doing that with a mouse! They are in my gallery. I would put them in here, if I knew how.

    good way to get a nice load of parasites.. and actually on field studies done chondros primary food intake is largely arboreal mammals

    Yeah I just did some reading on these guys and the concensus is that they ground-forage for small mammals at night, and retreat to the canopy for cover during the daytime.

    If you're going to use someone else's pictures you need to give them credit for them. Those pics belong to Brent Strande

    Copyright stuff gets a little hairy when you use the web. I didn't "use" his photos, all I did was link to them where they are publically available, which last time I checked, isn't copyright infringement. The software here, however, allows them to be displayed in the local thread for all of our viewing pleasure.

    so, *pimpstyle backhand*

    The fact is the pics are his and I'm sure he would like to have credit for them when they are used.

    As for your backhand, dream on son.

    You might want to also re-read my thread and point out where it was that I blamed you for copyright infringement, I'm having a hard time finding where I said that.

    But the fact is you did "USE" his pictures. You "USED" them in your post.

    Linking to pictures is ok, but acutally reproducing them in a thread or on a webpage online isn't.
