    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Here are some photos of our new pair of chondros. They are LTC (2+ years) adults. The male is pictured first, then the female. They are really neat animals.

Thanks. Not breeding yet Derek. We are hoping they will be later this year though. We just got them a few days ago. They both ate f/k medium rats yesterday, so that made us happy. :)
 
Nice critters Kelly!!!!

I have a few of those guys hanging around.. Where did you pick these up from??

One day I hope to add canarys to my group too!! They're stunning, even if/when they go to green. It's very pretty and different from other locale types. I'm waiting on the captive bred babies from some of these imports from the last few years. Their disposition is said to be one of the very gentle locale types too. That's always a great thing!! NO biaks for me!!!

Nice pick up Kelli! My fingers will be crossed that they produce great for you!!
 
Thanks Cathy! Yes, we did lots of research on these and we know it is quite likely that they will turn green at some point. There are those that supposedly have big adults that are still yellow though, so who knows. We wanted them mainly for the fact that they are locale specific animals, and not overly common. I know what you are saying about Biaks haha, although we are looking for an adult female... :)
 
I have collected many specimens from Kofiau..the adults I brought back to our Jakarta farm were all still bright yellow. My Seram's are also beautiful. The best one is still my Cyclops Mountain Albino..probably the only one in the world ! We'll be publishing our 1st Chondro book in a few months. Hundreds of full color pics, and over 120 localities will be illustrated.
Maps, reproduction, color morphs, farming projects, and so much more..For more info. contact TOM <snip> We sell/ship farmed Chondro's out of Florida.
