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.
They are considered to be for more advanced keepers. In my experience they are not difficult to keep at all(maybe because I was well aware of the needs of reptiles in general from my previous keeping and I took to advice quickly). Good humidity, heat, and perches and they have been doing great.
The best information I have gotten for chondros was from the book The More Complete Chondro by Greg Maxwell.
A Chondro isn't a beginner animal, compared to other pythons they are a bit touchy.
Their care requirements are more exact then most snakes.
If you're interested in having one I'd suggest getting something easier to keep to learn from and in the mean time do research on Green Trees.
I keep a number of Chondro's and there are others who visit this forum who keep them as well. If you have specific questions ask away and we'll do our best to get you good answers. The sites mentioned above are geared to Chondro's only and have tons of info for you to read. Randy
If you want a snake that you can take out and hold whenever you want, a Chondro probably wouldn't be best because they can't be handled at night/during darkness, and some are unpredictable even during daylight, though I've heard some can get quite tame. They are beautiful though, and decorating a nice-looking habitat with perches is one of the good points - they aren't super heavy-bodied and so don't destroy cage furniture as much as other snakes.
In terms of experience with reptiles and arachnid etc. I'm very experienced, I've had tarantulas, Emperor scorps, Veiled and Jackson CHameleons, African Spur Thighs, Russian Tortoises, Leopard Geckos and Pac-man frogs along with a Burmese and a Northern Pinesnake. To be honest I've never really had a tree snake so I just wanted some tips.
Just go to Greg Maxwells web site.Or browse the other two.
GMs book is the way to go to become informed with out having to be patronized,it happend to me too. But i still will ask when i dont know.
Hope those web sites help.and dont be afraid to ask.
