Pat the baby biak green tree python

[zina10]

Haha i know. After i took the pic and looked at it, i thought the same thing. And before anyone crucifies me for not having a neonate in a tub, I have his temps, humidity, gradients and security all covered along with elevated water bowls on the second perch and top perch lol. Already got the sad face from a couple people on the chondro boards for me going from a tub to a display set up for a neo lol. I was like, well, if i get the gradient, temps, humidity and security all correct and he ate within an hour of being in the new cage, i must have something set up right.

You went quick, that's true. That is a lot of changes in a short time. BUT !!!

You obviously have a well adjusted little Chondro there. They "can" stress, but I don't think they stress in the same way then a Ball Python does. A Ball Python needs the correct setup AND a ton of privacy/left alone.

I think with Chondros its vitally important that you have the setup right, the temps, humidity, perches, etc etc. But they do not stress as much about being out in the open, then a Ball Python per se.

So...since you have your little cage dialed in perfectly, with plant cover, correct perches, water, etc etc, your baby should be just fine. Being willing to eat right after shows it didn't bother him much at all.

Some snakes go from breeder/tub to owner/glass tank (incorrectly set up at that) And that is when you run into problems. You didn't do that. You moved him. But you moved him into the "ideal" setup.

Plus you have a hatchling that is well established and healthy to begin with. THAT right there is the most important part. That, and the correct setup (species specific)



Well, and I like to see the pics, haha
