New Chondro and Setup!!!

[steveboos]

I have kept ball pythons for almost a year. Now i have finally made the jump to other species and my first is a Green Tree Python Wameena locality. He is a farm bred GTP and is around 5 years old. Hes a beauty and has a GREAT feeding response. The cage is a Reptile Basics Arboreal display cage and is very high quality, Rich always makes good stuff! Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the comments, it took me a while to figure out who to buy the cage and snake from, but in the end i am very happy!! I recommend Chondros to anyone who wants an animal that is always visible and good to display. I just sit here and look at him whenever i want to and hes always just sitting perfectly.

That is one gorgeous snake! These guys are quickly becoming one of my favorite snakes!

i love him i want one i think they r so cool how they just sit there all day i think its really cool the way some ppl set up their hatchling tubs with two poles going trough the tub so when the babies hatch they just go straight to their perch its awesome in my opinion

Yes!!! I really understand now why they are just as addicting as Ball Pythons, but 3 times the price. The cheapest Neo is going to be $250 to 400, then any morph with good lineage with easily $5,000 and up, most people wont sell them anyway. I do love the pictures of eggs hatching with GTP's. Ball Pythons are a lot easier to incubate, but it's all worth it in the end. Just a huge tub with a bunch of eggs and very humid. They all hatch out and you end up with something like this...

ya those prices right there are pretty much the only thing stopping me from getting one right now lol i just see more money coming out of bps than i do GTPs but once i get enough money to get a pair of GTPs im gonna do it im not saying im doing this for the money im just saying if im going to have the snakes i might as well breed them and sell them

You think like i think. Even though i got rid of all my expensive snakes since i realized breeding isn't really worth it in BP's. Way too many breeders and wayy too many snakes, either you do large volume, or you spend $15,000 on rare morphs and make your money that way. Otherwise it's a very risky venture if you aren't prepared for shipping, all the racks needed for the babies, plus the rodents are going to get expensive if you don't breed them...

Not trying to be a downer, just stating things i realized. GTP's can sometimes have 20 babies, if they all survive in the eggs and make it through the incubation with no issues. Then that's 20 babies your keeping for 8 to 9 months getting to eat consistently and be very well started before you sell them. Granted your babies might sell for $500 for a yellow neo and $900 for a red neo, or twice that if your Signal Herp, it just requires a lot of work.

This is why I'm really thinking about breeding before i go and do it. Plus you wont make money, if anything you might break even if your lucky and have people to sell your snakes to.

Great looking cage and perch set-up...Is it an RBI cage? How did you affix the bamboo perches??
