    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Info on Chondros

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.
