Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I like the vision product better, and where did you find the vision link? because I was looking for tanks made for them and they were WAAYYY too expensive and it was something very cheap materials i assume. I found one cage that was small and cost 2,000 and something for it it was outrages!!!

Lots of cage manufacturers and options to consider -
there's also Animal Plastics, Neodesha, Proline Cages (northwest constrictors) and one of my favorite low cost cage makers Barrs cages (herpcages).
Check out the BOI (board of inquiry) here on fauna for cage maker reviews to help steer yourself in the best direction.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

Do not get a green tree python for your first snake. They are incredibly territorial and mean in almost all cases. I recommend a plain old ball python, they are very calm and can be handled frequently no problem. I wouldn't get a fancy morph or anything expensive till your experienced. If for some reason you mess up and he dies you dont want a thousand dollars down the toilet. Make sure you know how to make a proper habitat too.

Good point, individuals can have very different personalities. I have a ball python that must have been a pit viper in a prior life, even at 1500 grams she will tag you while being held.

EmeraldBoid in the future my dream snake is a green tree python ... you just got lucky on the temperment probably a bit or you got a baby and worked out its bitting stuff (still a newby too many people say NO GREEN TREE PYTHONS THERE MEAN, nearly every information I read about them said there a display snake only, they stress when handled and always bite). Bcr229 and yes it does depend on there personalitys really even if you buy a ball python still doesnt mean it wont bite you constantly, just depends on personality

No luck here, just natural tendencies. Chondros, like other arboreals, are alert animals that may not take well to how flighty inexperienced keepers can be...on average though they do not care. I am not going to show you pics of every chondro I have worked with, but I can assure you that anyone who has worked with the species for a considerable time will agree that they are quite mellow in general...likely the same with ball python keepers.
I never recommended them as a starter snake, possibly an intermediate, yes. If it ever came off to you in any other way, then you have my sincerest apology. I did mention that if you are dead set on the species then go for it, but it would not be my first recommendation.
I am sorry, but the fact that you see "luck" as a factor in the nature, health, and quality of a keeper's collection is a little disturbing. Like any hobby, you have to take responsibility for yourself as well as what you're working with. This hobby may not be as expensive or as time consuming as others, but it does require a certain amount of finesse and will that I am afraid "luck" will not afford you.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
