At shows, symposiums and gatherings with fellow chondro lovers they are most often referred to "chondros" in my experience.

The last couple of years I have also noted a swing to "gtp" by myself and several others online. I believe "gtp" is more "scientifically correct" and for me personally, I don't want to confuse newcomers to this species.

Hopefully people getting into "gtps" will affectionately adopt the term "chondro" also.

I use both. Chondros when I'm talking with someone about them, and GTP for posting stuff. It's just faster. The correct term, Morelia Viridis is way too cumbersome unless you're writing a scientific paper, or labeling your snake picture with species names.

Hahaha this is the first time I have ever spelled Morelia Viridis and I have never once in my life said it... Chondro all the way for me. I only type GTP if I am writing to someone new to the hobby

Im with you dude (dudette)? Chondropython is the way to go, I dont care what the taxonomists say. Just something about the word chondropython sounds as cool as the snake it names.
