Here's the female, Nyoka.

Thanks Gil.

Schlyne,
If you are well informed and prepared (plus you get good stock) you don't need a "step up" animal.

tarantulakeeper,
Those are beauties. I wish my chondros were live bearers too.

Beautiful ETB's, I usually don't see baby pictures of those...of course I spend far more time looking at GTP's instead.

Even though IJCP's are more semi aboreal than arboreal, I consider my IJCP my first step up into arboreal snakes. The GTP's can wait for a bit. I want a house first

Found some old pics of my male. They came out pretty good considering it was with a point and shoot.

ENVY ENVY ENVY!!!!! We are waiting for this years babies to become available as this is our next 'baby' we have planned. Right now we have two BCIs ( one lavender het for albino and the other type 2 anery) our baby female P regius... too sweet and cute for words, and then the oddball .... a garter snake LOL

Thanks MysticKigh,
I love those boa morphs. I've been thinking of getting some myself.
I hope you find a nice baby chondro. The male in the picture I bought as a hatchling 7 years ago
Here he is:

Oooooh! Nice pics Mike. He is a looker for sure. I'm still waiting for those egg pics though! Heheh.

My little Aru is getting up there in size. She is right at two years of age now. Here is the latest picture of her under fluorescent light in her cage. I snapped this picture real quick because of the way she was perched. I had taken her outside for some natural light pictures earlier in the day. When I put her back in the cage she coiled up on her perch as you see her in the photo. That is the only time I've caught her perched like that.

Later,

I can't resist putting up one more picture. Here is a photo of one of my newest chondros before it tried to snatch one of my eyeballs out of my head.

 

[Lasiodora]

Sweet! They look great Gil. I wouldn't hold my breath on those eggs. I don't think she's gonna drop any this season :8o . I separated them because the male has been showing an interest in food. He ate last week. I'll try him again tomorrow. I'm going to try to pair them as often as I can until I can no longer cool them. Who knows maybe she'll surprise me.

im convinced that chondros are some of the most beautiful animals on the planet. Have any of you seen the saphire chondros? they're amazing!

 

[Lasiodora]

Yes they are. Are you talking about the genetically blue animals? If you are, then yes I have seen them. They are spectacular but beyond what I could afford.

Mike

yes i was, and the last time i saw one i think it was 5000$! I also saw some ball pythons for 60,000 on constrictors.com! I love my snakes, but thats a little toooo much. Who buys them?

 

[Lasiodora]

You'd be surprised by how much people are willing to pay. I was talking to someone I met at my old job. He was telling me he spent $8000 on a pair of albino tortoises. I guess if I had the money or high end animals to trade I would definitely own some boelen's, angolans, womas, and blackheaded pythons. I have no problem in investing in expensive reptiles as long as I can make the money back. Problem is I can barely afford what I have

Some new photos of the pair.

 

[GQ.]

Sweet! I hope you have a huge beehive of eggs very soon. I missed out on this latest update on your pair the first time around. Thanks for the link! Best of luck with them.

I know they say not to count your chickens before they hatch but these aren't chickens . I hope to have babies in 49 days. If not the whole process was still amazing. Still I hope to have babies, lol. Can you tell how excited I am

Gil,
Thanks for sending me those good vibes Now I want to see your female beehived around a clutch.

Dude!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

How many eggs? and how long before I can get my hands on a baby


Jeff

(How's the family?)

 

[GQ.]

Alright Mike! A big congratulations to you and the proud mama. Best of luck with everything. I'm anxiously awaiting those pipping photos. Please keep us posted.

Congrats!
Gilbert

 

[Lasiodora]

Jeff,
I don't know how many eggs there are. It's pretty hard to tell. She finished laying them this morning and coiled around them. I'd say maybe 10-15 eggs.
I'm gonna let her incubate maternally. If all goes well they'll pip in April and you'll get first pick after they are established

Family is doing well. Evan is now 1.5yrs old and is always asking to see the spiders and snakes. Don't know where he got his interest in animals from

Gil,
I hope this pic of her will do for now.

Thanks Guys,
Mike

 

[GQ.]

Very nice! Thanks for the photo. I'm anxious to try maternal incubation with my female as well. I'm looking forward to that more than incubating a big batch. Please add me to your list if you are making one. I'm always up for more chondros.

Later,
Gilbert

Gil,
I hope this pic of her will do for now.

Thanks Guys,
Mike
