They come from different localities, such as Aru and Biak which are names of islands. Many Local names are for towns from which animals are shipped. They don't come from South America they come from Indonesia. Suriname is a local often used for Emerald tree Boa which are from South America, big difference between GTPs and ETBs. Chondro is the old scientific name for GTPs but is still used by most who know these animals.
Chondros are not beginner snakes and you should do as much research as you can before buying any animal. I'd suggest you start with adult or young adults before taking on a baby. There are pages and pages of info out there on these guys just type in say- Aru Green tree Python-or just- Green tree Python- and you'll get more hits than you can look at any time soon.
As for locality as has been mentioned in this thread it is probably better to say Type as there are few documented locality animals out there.
Do your research it will save you time money and heart ache.

>>is it that they live in different areas in south america or is it color/personaliy? i've been looking at getting one or two for some time and just want to make sure about what i'm getting into. ohh and i was also wondering if its better to get a couple babies or a couple adults(sorry stupid Q, im positive its gonna be babies). i also wanted to know if chondro is just a nicname for GTPs or what, ive heard it a lot but not sure. also under the care articles the page about GTPs is really handy!
