Hey Tim, here's the GTP I was referring to. She's from Greg Maxwell's 2005 Carpetman x Blue Diamond pairing. She's got a real classic Sorong look to her. I think she's a she and eventually, I'd like to find a similar male to pair her up with.

she is very pretty i will have to sex my green tree not sure how big males need to be to breed in green trees i love em never really put thought into breeding them tho is yours tame by chance?

or atleast tried lol she was really resistant had to have my girl hold the ehad and body but she wasnt doing to good lol however i was using the smallest probe in the ball tipped set not the pointy wire ones the ball tipped smallest ones lubed nice and good and barely putting pressure at all and got 2 scales one side and 3 scales otehr side however i wanna resex her when she gets a lil bigger im so scared of hurting her all i hear is how fragile green trees tails are and she hasnt been fed huge items or if it looks liek she has to crap bad i stop feeding cause i hear horror storries of prolapse

eating rat fuzz

she is from LLL reptile ugh lol the only good thing that ever came from there lol picked her up at NARBC tinley in 06 been a slow grower and a lil over a year to change to her color now she was so tiny when i got her a pinky mouse left a big lump so they must of just got her in along with her clutch mate from a breeder.

progression pics and there was no inbetween colors lol it was yellow and red to yellow and slight purple hue to green and blue to bright green and bright blue lol only mix of the two colors was the one green spec lol she literaly changed over night every time lol





her first green spec

You know, sometimes I think I come off as a chondro-snob, all wrapped up in my family trees and prized lineages. But you know, a beautiful animal is a beautiful animal regardless of where it comes from. You've done a great job with her and she really glows. Lovely snake!

On a side note, I just ran by the idea of getting ball pythons with my wife. She got mad. It's going to take some coaxing

i hear you on the whole lineage thing in condros but you know it was the first one i got the price was right and a impulse buy lol but you are right on one thing beauty is beauty lol as for your wife show her some of the pretty colors and if you have kids go it will be great for them to work with also lol then start flipping thru the barkers book and show her the morphs and when she says OOO or pretttty lol thats the ones you gotta buy and work with lol

.. save some time and go straight to the blatant bribe.
Maybe jewelry or a vacation.

Did you guys see the latest "Reptiles" magazine? Holy cow,
some unreal GTP's are pictured in the feature story.

Thanks,
Ed

now i didnt see it havent had the money to go out and grab one also i am not subscribed no more been moving around alot no steady place for them to come i will have to keep a eye out for it at the pet store i go to and browse thru it lol

I haven't seen the new issue either. Can't wait to get it though. I'm not too worried about the wife. There's so many snakes in that room, she really has no idea what's coming or going. Someday....(rubs hands together and wears a sinister grin).

Unfortunately, I only have one snake, so bribe's are high up on
my list.

I just looked at your chondro pics below, they are beautiful.
Good luck with the Mint Chip-Chondrodynamite(sp?) pairing, can't imagine the baby ChondroMints would be anything less than spectacular.

Thanks,
Ed

lol sinister very very sinister lol they are fun lil projects and so much can be done specialy if you dont have alot of room for huge snakes or alot of babies its great for small hobbiest like myself

I just started subscribing. My son was doing a school fundraiser and I finally saw a magazine on the list that I would actually read. Don't want to ruin it for you, so all I'll say is the ontogenic blue melanistic one is unreal.

Thanks,
Ed

when my niece sent me a thing form school for mags lol i seen reptiles it was cheap for 2 years so i did it lol onto the blue and condros lol im scared to see a already blue female turn hormonal blue lol that would have to be one blue blue blue fricken snake its crazy not only to condros change form baby to adult but durring breeding females will sometimes turn blue

Just got my copy in the mail. Yeah, that black anf blue snake is unreal. her name is Ella Diablo. She was produced in 2004 I think. My Mint Chip is her sister from 2006.
