I HIGHLY reccomend you stay far far away form imported, farmed or broked animals.

Or dont take my word for it.

There are ALOT of CBB chondros right now from passionate breeders who want to see your sucess. Save a few hundred more... it will make a world of difference.

Personally I always buy c.b.b. when possable. (Finally got a pair of zoo bred c.b.b. timor pythons comming in 4 weeks !) Although when It comes to chondros I no longer buy c.b.b. I have had lots of chondros in the past the majority of them have been c.h. imports. Not once have I ever had a problem with any of them. The price is Right that's for sure, not only that but it's only about $10-30 over wholesale in Singles, not Lots! It's just as the well known Gary Schiavino says "Although I normally ONLY deal with Captive Bred animals, I have never had a problem establishing Captive Hatched babies. They seem to thrive as long as they’re not bounced from importer to importer, from show to show." Personally I'd rather start with babies and raise them up. Just know who your dealing with and you shouldn't have to much trouble with buying adults.

Go with the us born cbb!!! lesss chance of a dissappointment in 6 months when the import is dead on the floor. Not a guarantee of a bad animal, but a hell of a lot more likely with an import than a us cbb baby. Check out finegtps.com by greg maxwell, i think hes got some reasonably priced babies out of his "og" clutch. Reference that clutch when inquireing. Hope this helps. No matter where u get ur baby you should def check that site out. Youll find its help immeasureable.
