Hey Everyone,

My chondro is finally starting her color change after a year and half of waiting. In the matter of 3 or 4 days she has progressively gained more and more greens and blues. Which is pretty cool considering I thought that she would change gradually over each shed. But instead all at once she has started her color change and she hasn't even shed in about 3 weeks! Thought I would show you guys a before and after these are seriously like 4 or 5 days apart.

thanks for looking,

Shannon

She looks terrific! My first chondro didn't start changing until she was 16 months old. I thought she'd never go and do it!

Yeah, those colors changes can be quite fast or quite slow. I bought a maroon hatchling a few years back that started its change at about 1 year. It slowly, ever so slowly, changed from maroon to yellow/orange over a period of about 3 months. Once a solid yellow/orange, she stayed there for about a month. She went from yellow/orange to solid green in less than 48 hours. It’s amazing and one of the coolest things about GTPs.

Wow That is one lovely looking snake......

my jayapura changed super fast also withing a week he/she was already almost pure green with a full blue stripe. i found that if they have a full stripe on them as a neonate. it will usually produce a full blue stripe. whats your subspecies?
