good resources for GTP info?

[cmack91]

i want to find some good info on these snakes, like detailed pictures on the different localities and whatnot, which ones are born red vs. being born yellow, which ones have the blue stripe etc. im gonna be looking on google too, but figured i'd ask here too incase some has something i dont find.

and also, is there a good forum dedicated to these snakes?

here you go. I just picked this book up because I'm hopefully going to get a GTP soon and it is great.

I have Greg's book and it was a good read. If you want some alternative reading material check out signal herps book, I think it's available for $10 on his website or something affordable. I have yet to purchase it but I have heard it's great and takes a different stance than what The Complete Chondro states. I don’t believe it professionally printed or anything, but is I plan on picking it up before I decide on taking the plunge into a new species.

Yes, that book is great! The best forum I have found for chondros is the Morelia Viridis Forum.

One of the best ways to gain more info about these snakes is to contact a reputable breeder and simply talk to them. There is a lot of info that isn't cut and dried in the pages of a book. The breeder of my first GTP is Rocky Gravley and he is wonderful to talk with. He's always willing to talk chondros with me, even when my questions are really basic. A good mentor is invaluable!!
