[Minkness]

Awesome! Congrats! I love that yellow and green mottle. Wish that some would stay that way lol

[zappaguy]

I am not sure you mean by 'staying that way'. Why wouldn't she? She is the colour she will be for the rest of her life....unless you can point me to a verified document that says she wouldn't.
And thank you.

[SnoopySnake]

And thank you.

I don't think he was talking about her, but he was saying that he wishes some of them would keep some yellow (like she has) instead of turning all green.

Congrats and very nice GTPs! Love that blue one.

[Minkness]

That's exactly what I was saying Snoopy lol. Thanks!

[zappaguy]

Some of the insular specimens ie: Biak and Yapen will hold this pattern. Also some of those dead-end 'lines' also hold these patterns.
On the mainland of PNG and Australia they are mostly green with white,blue patterns with a little yellow....or none at all and solid green.
This girl is as pure a Biak outside of collecting from the island.

ps: Mother nature does have a sense of humour.

[zappaguy]

One of last years babies that I kept back.

ps: no smart *** comment this time
pps: will double up next time
ppps: red baby from an Arus...really???

[millertime89]

Gorgeous blue!

[Albert Clark]

Amazing herps there. They all look like winners! Congrats! I always wanted a pair of the gtp's. Thanks for sharing this.

ps: more to come as I trip down mammary lane and the one that just
infuriates people will be coming.

pps: haven't annoyed everyone yet

[lady_bug87]

Awesome! I'd love to try my hand at GTPs

[zappaguy]

Lori, I thought you had one of my babies from a few years ago?

[lady_bug87]

The sorong x jade line? I do! I meant I want to breed them lol

[zappaguy]

Ah gotcha...well I have a chart for breeding chondros and is as follows.

1) getting chondros to copulate, anybody can do this
2) getting gravid females, wellllll not so easy and takes experience
3) now assuming you get fertile eggs(see above) now starts the
the 1st part of 'advanced keeping' ...egg management and
hatching them out. Egg management seems to be the biggest problem and is for people with 'attention to detail' and experience.
4) now asuming you get this far and 49 days later you have baby chondros
this is the part that separates the men from the boys(or in your case
the women from the girls) getting the babies to eat.
Numbers 3 and 4 are the toughest and causes most people to give up on breeding chondros. They are not 'recipe' snakes un-like other species.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/erichasler/IMG_2286.jpg (http://s44.photobucket.com/user/erichasler/media/IMG_2286.jpg.html)

But in most cases most people take wrong advise, suspicious advise or much worse....popular advise by 'well' known keepers/breeders only to find all went south...funny how that works out huh?

[lady_bug87]

Hopefully a mix of common sense and talking to the right people will help me achieve my eventual goal

[zappaguy]

4th and last clutch of the year...24 perfect eggs.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f43/erichasler/DSCN15501_zpskgbbdmak.jpg (http://s44.photobucket.com/user/erichasler/media/DSCN15501_zpskgbbdmak.jpg.html)

[Minkness]

You say perfect...but I see dents? Is that normal?

[millertime89]

Dents are normal. Snake eggs aren't hard like chicken eggs. They're leathery and softer.

[Derek Roddy]

Always nice to see Chondro connoisseurs. Great species to work with.

D

[zappaguy]

Well that was a nicer response than I would have given but that's just me.

another trip down 'mammory' lane

ps:sorry no 'dents' this time but when they start hatching and the really BIG dents come will post those.

pps: sarcasm

[zappaguy]

Sorry to be a disappointment...but they are hatching....now these are dents...but what do I know as I am not perfect...or am I????

ps: 4 clutches this year, 3 have hatched out 60 out of 65 eggs
pps: so far
ppps: maybe after the 4th clutch I won't get anymore dents
pppps: just sayin'

[Pareeeee]

Congrats!!! Nice looking little snakelets.

[Chris72]

Very cool. Everything looks great. (Dents and all). ;)

[jossh27]

how are these babies making out? any new pics?

[zappaguy]

Babies are/were doing great, all but 4 have been sold and are gone. I am keeping 2 babies and the last 2 are going to be sold. I will take some new photos shortly and will post them.
These babies were huge and the feeding trials went amazingly smooth but this is what you get when you have great blood lines and not dead ends.

ps: sarcasm yet again
pps: no mention of dents

[zappaguy]

2014 holdbacks

These are 2 2014 Jade x Biak type siblings who wouldn't co-operate for a decent side by side shot. Still fascinates me that chondro's can look so different from the same clutch.

[zappaguy]

Knock knock knock....hello hello is this thing on? One two two two...Barry can I have a little bit more monitor.

ps: dead, deceased and now non-existant

[zappaguy]

First clutch hatched out...20 babies out and perched and 1 still home sick.

[Sylphie]

Awww, so cute, congratulations! <3

[macandchz]

what is that absolutely gorgeous blue snake? maybe it's greenish-blue?

[EL Ziggy]

Congratulations on the beautiful clutch zap!

[Albert Clark]

ps: dead, deceased and now non-existant
Wow man! You are doing a fantastic job. I want to take a page out of your book. Maybe a few pages. Nice.

[zappaguy]

That would be a chondro as this thread only deals with chondros, specifically mine.

ps: thank you
