I need help with my 13-year-old BLUE male. Lil' Reggie. Stays on the floor and doesn't move much

feeds@yuku.com (Mikee24) — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:39:49 PST

I just acquired a 13-year old male. He is a Blue line many of you have heard of. Goes by Lil' Reggie. He was in kinda rough shape when I got him... Had a stuck shed and was pretty skinny. I got all the stuck shed off and fed him two adult mice and he was looking really good. Then a few days later her regurgitated both the mice and has stayed on the floor of his cage ever since. When I first got him he was pretty active and aggressive. Especially when I sprayed him and his cage. Now he doesn't move much at all. I'm worried that he is stressed so I've left him alone. I don't know if I should give him time to acclimate or take him to the local exotic vet. I have never had a GTP this old before. I could really use some advice from the pros. I would love to see this guy breed again. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

when does a chondro become a designer?

feeds@yuku.com (joe23) — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:04:22 PST

ive had this question in my mind for quite some time now.

ive seen some pretty spectacular animals (with good pricetags on em) which came basically from biak/merauke/kofiau x biak/cyclops/manokwari/aru (as example). but theyre called biak outcross or something like that.

so when i breed a mitephase biak to a high blue cyclops, keep the best and weirdest animals back and breed em to the best and weirdest of a manokwari/kofiau x biak/aru pairing and a few of these babies become really spectacular- are they designers, or are they outcrosses?

or do they become designers when i start to name em (like dream, or calico, or gläser)?

because most of these considered designers go back to locality crosses if i understood that correct (chondros with a lot of blue were bred to hormonal blue females etc). gläser were high blue sorong bred to high yellow biaks. correct me if im wrong tho- im just at the beginning of learning...

Hello to all of the Chondro Heads and Green Tree Python Admirers out there,
It is with my deepest regret and sorrow that I must announce the passing of one of the greatest chondros to ever grace the earth. Ella Diablo passed away on May 5th, 2012, from cancer. A small unusual growth was observed to be manifesting itself along her spine and she was immediately taken to the vet for further analysis. It was upon her arrival, that the growth was confirmed to be a tumor through tests and x-rays. After several cultures, a surgery was scheduled to remove the tumor in hopes that it hadn’t spread and would be easily removed. During her surgery, it was noted that there were actually four tumors growing inside her cavity the size of golf balls and they had spread tremendously. The surgery was completed but only successfully removed 95% of the tumors. Following the operation, she passed overnight. Her cancer was ruled to be a type that is frequent in cats...

Covergirl x Marduk Eggs...Unfortunately

feeds@yuku.com (rkeller3323) — Wed, 16 May 2012 06:56:08 PST

Hey to all of the Chondro-Heads out there, Unfortunately, this is an update I don't like to announce, but the eggs from Covergirl x Marduk, didn't make it this year. Out of the 12 eggs that were laid, 4 died during the incubation and went bad. Of the 8 that were left, there were a couple of full term neos that died in the egg and a few were underdeveloped. I assume they died sometime during the incubation. It is a very sad loss and unexpected loss at that. However, hopefully other pairings will take and great outcomes will arise. I hope all is well with everyone and quality is contagious!

First pairing for the season and a 6mth old

I had plans for this pair this year. Hopefully it looks like things are shaping up alright.

The happy couple

I have only caught them in the act once. This boy is definitely a stealth breeder. I have caught him on her tickling her with his spurs. I have then left the room and returned two minutes later to feed another animal and discovered him perched alone on the opposite end of the cage to Ocean.

Thanks for looking.

Hi!
First I am sorry if my English is not so well as it must be, but I hope that you will understand.

So I have preparing on my first chondro since last year, and this Marc I bought one in Hamm. First I was attending to buy an aru but then I found good offer for lereh female. I contacted the seller and asked him for some basic information is she good eater, any parasites, does she eat pre - killed food.... He said that she is good eater, eat pre-killed food, hasn't any parasites.... He said that she is FB but I take the risk.
And from first day when I have got it, I have problems.
First, I saw that she has mites, so I gave her to a box so I can remove all the mites whit detia method. I had it in the box for a month then I move her in a viv 30cmx30cmx45cm ( l x w x h ). I saw that she wasn't in a very good condition for 3 years.
Seller told me that she eat pre-killed mice, but I found some big scrapes on her, so I do not have any idea how she got them. Week...

Hi!
I am worried about my chondro wamena.
It has not poped for several of days now so it is very filled whit pop.
I took it out to get it a little stressed because it makes them poop but it did not happen so i put it in "hot" water but nothing happened there either.
I felt on it close tho the cloak and it felt like it was a small har round ball there so can that be the problem?
Its a he and he is still hungry and i dont think he will change skinn untill a cuple of weeks more :S
I am very thankfull for all the help i can get.
Best regards Linus

Petoskey in his new skin. He's from Rico and John's pairing of Tiger Stripe female x Thong. He's a few months shy of 3 years and weighs in at 340 grams. Thanks again for letting me snake this one away from the mountain Rico.

Just wanted to post my 2 chondro mothers here to show gratitude for all of their efforts in being great moms. We are constantly stealing them of their clutches and whoring them out to different males upon males every year. So lets pay tribute to our "chondro queens" and post their beauty for everyone to see!

Advice please

feeds@yuku.com (jpd366) — Sat, 12 May 2012 07:19:55 PST

ill start by saying i know theres tons of post that go on about handling and "taming"and i have read most if not all, as well as "why be bitten". all great for advice for handling, but im wondering if its worth it with my new GTP. i bought her as a yearling to avoid issues with a baby neo. and first time i picked her up to transfer her she was great for about 20 min before being put in her tank. the second time she was also great but not as long. next time she bit my nose but not sure why she was very calm then snapped!! and now it seems as though every time i go near her or attempt to hold or even take out she doesn't want any part.
i tried just taking her out on the perch for a few min every once in a while to get her use to the movement etc. then slowly moved up to resting my hand under her while making sure shes calm. but she doesn't seems to be getting used to any of it, in fact she seems to be getting more aggressive! she seems as though shes turning into...
