Spying on chondros: It's a red, it's a yellow, it's another yellow, etc.!

So we're just a couple of days away from our clutch hatching and as I was moving them over to the hatch tub today I saw something pretty cool! One of my favorite parts about green trees is never knowing what'll come out of the egg. With a few of our eggs, we've had dark or clear spots on some of them since day 1, and as it turns out, you can see color through these spots now!

I didn't want to screw around with them too much but as I was moving them I saw at least three yellows and a red one....can't wait!

Can't wait to see them!

[TrpnBils]

I'll let you know

Hey we both work 7 days/week here so when would be better for you to come over and check them out? Probably the weekend?

[DZ Reptiles]

Sounds cool! I can't wait to see em out of the egg!

[TrpnBils]

Me too! I'll be posting pictures as soon as I can - tomorrow is day 49, so probably by the weekend some will be out of the egg and in their tubs.

Very cool! What was the pairing? I'm soooo getting hooked on chondros .

Pairing was an adult male and adult female

We actually don't know the lineage 100% on these ones. They have a lot of Biak characteristics but since I don't know for sure I'm hesitant to say "They're a ________ locality"

Actually the whole locality thing bugs me a little bit because how many people actually know with 100% certainty where theirs come from unless they're wild caught animals? Of all the ones we've hatched here, some of them display Biak traits, some Aru traits, some Sorong traits, etc. Regardless of where they're from, they're cool looking snakes, and unless you're out to breed a locality line (think Okeetee corns, for example) it really doesn't make a bit of difference IMO.

I could lie and say I know what the locality is to get a sale, but it's not something that's real big on my list of priorities when incubating these guys and finally getting them to eat. I'd rather just be honest and say "I'm not sure, but here's a picture of a sibling or a parent, etc"

Ha ha! I get your point. It makes my head spin thinking about it. A lot of the localities have the same traits too.

Ok, so a better question would be...can you post pics of the parents?
