YES....Chondro Eggs!!!!!

I came back from a long weekend trip to Fort Myers Beach to find that my girl Killer was wrapped around a nice clutch of eggs. I was acctually afraid that she would lay them while I was gone, but other than a few wrinkles from not enough humidity the eggs look to be in really good shape. I candled them and it looks like she laid 23 fertile and 1 slug. I am definately happy with those results and now I will keep my fingers crossed that all goes well during incubation.

Wish me luck on hatching out some red or yellow tree worms.

Best of luck on your worms! :gj:

Congrats! Nice looking pair, and I especially like Scarface's colors. I can't wait to see pics of 23 worms wriggling about. :)

Congrats!!! very nice clutch!! I hope the best for you on those!!

Congrats on that healthy clutch! Hope you get some that look like the father! PLEASE post when they hatch!;):gj:

Those snakes are soo interesting.

With parents like those they have to be some good lookin babies!

The parents are absolutely beautiful!! Good luck with your eggs and congratulations!!

Sweet! I like all of the yellow on the male. Good luck with the eggs!

Nice pairing! Good luck with those eggs!

Good luck...Scareface is one bad dude...

Congrats Kevin!!
That was a great pairing and should produce some nice offspring!

Thanks everyone! I am really stoked to get some eggs from this pair. I was out of town when the eggs were laid so they are a little dry, but I checked with some more experienced chondro people and they seem to think the eggs are not to far gone and should be alright. I am stressed but hopefull that their incubation will go well.:please:

Scarface is awesome! Is he a Biak?

Congrats!! Very handsome sire :gj:

Nice looking clutch, Karbogast.

Now, the waiting part...

Is it their first clutch ? If not, are you expecting some reds or maroons ?

Thanks! I am not 100% sure but he has many biak characteristics including a fiesty personality. The thing that throws me off is that he has a faint blue vertabral stripe with blue triangles as well as other blue highlights that don't show well in photos but stand out in person. Biaks are not know for having much blue coloration so that makes me wonder if he is a mixed locale animal. Without any background info on him the only thing I am sure of is that he is a cool looking chondro.

Yeah the waiting part blows! This is their first clutch and my first GTP clutch as well. The female was a red/maroon baby and I suspect the male was a yellow but not 100% sure on that, so I should have a mix of yellows and reds. If I am wrong about the male then the clutch could be mostly if not all red/maroon. I prefer the red/maroon neonates because their color change can be so spectacular, but the yellow little tree worms are pretty hot as well.

Now that you mentioned it I took a second look at the pictures and that stripe leeds to a mainland locale. Possibly Manokwari or Sorong.

But your conclusion is very valid: he sure is a beautiful chondro!

my goodness, what an absolutely spectacular male that is. i didn't realize how wondeful they got when it came to coloring. GOOD LUCK on gettin some red in your life! the reds are crazy lookin! either way i can't imagine going wrong with that pair! woohoo congrats!

congrats.......! now stay closer to home when the eggs start pipping......:)

my bad.......looks like they pipped! that red one is smokin'......
