thats a cool snake you got there. I have a quick qestion though, are these snakes difficult to keep? do they require more care/matenece as compared to something like a ball python? Im just curiouse. Thanks :)

Kody,

Where did you get that Aru from? Stunning!!! Is this the only one that you have? I'm very interested in finding out where you got this beauty from.

Jay- I'd have to say that once you get a chondro set up correctly, the maintenance involved is not complicated. I spray my cages down just about every night but it doesn't hurt them to dry out every so often. Babies take more work than yearlings on up but it's mainly a matter of keeping their cages clean, providing clean water, and the proper heat gradient. You should check out Greg Maxwell's web site (http://www.finegtps.com) for more specific information. Feel free to email me if you want more information.

Kind regards,

Hey,
Chondros are a bit of work, but the work involved is not anything like or remotely similar to keeping a bp. They are creatures from removed from each other. I would say that doing some work in the reading dept. can go a long way as there is the potential to run into a few snags with chondros from time to time. However, if keeping parameters up to par and watching your husbandry with this species, you should do fine. Prolapses are a big thing and can be daunting and you should learn something about treating it or fixing the problem should it ever befall one of you animals. It is fixable, but when confronted with it, it can be scary if you haven't dealt with it before. I've reinserted plenty of them I know the work and technique involved, but know that a newbie can freak out at the sight of one, if dealing with it for the first time. URI's are a biggy too, but are much easier to deal with. However, the one draw back with URI's and their treatment, is that the drugs involved in treating can be toxic and can cause scarring at the injection site or sites, if not administered properly. I seen sites where the drug was administered by a vet become discolored and permanently damaged. So learning to deal again with this common problem is also, something to know in advance.
