Hey randy I spoke with the guy that I purchased them from and he told me he never seperated the two for 6 years.Oh b7y the way its the guy with the greentrees.(biaks)So I dont know where to start he also said he had only a flouresent light on them because he kept them indoors well I dont have the luxury of keeping my animals indoors.so I have them in a 3'neo slant front with a 75 watt on a thermostat set at 85.so Im kind of stuck as to knowing what to do to get them to feed.he said when he fed them its pitch black so any help will be appreciated on this matter

Well I'm no expert on Chondros, Most my experience is with Emeralds. I will say that animals going off feed for a while after a move wouldn't worry me heck I've had Emeralds go 6 months before eating after just moving them to a new cage.

Some keep their animals together, I have now and then. These are adults that are probably real used to how their previous owner kept them and are a little freaked out at the change so just give them time. offer them food every week and if they don't take it right away don't worry. if their in good health they can go a long time without eating. Use a red light in the room to feed them it doesn't bother them, I have a red light on in my snake rooms every night all night.

These guys seem to thrive on driving us nuts lol they seem to find new ways all the time to make us worry.
They look real healthy in the photos so just let them settle in and i bet they'll start eating before long. One other thing find out how the guy you got them from prepared the food for them some adults can get real picky. Heck i have to cut the whiskers off the darn things sometimes for my Mustard male he acts like they tickle him lol. take care..Randy
