so i was wondering about everyone that has chondros either as a pet or a nice show piece or a breeder, and what they are kept in. im also looking for sizes, what kind of size requirements are we dealing with when it comes to chondros. does anyone use naturalistic enclosures, pictures are encouraged

0.1 soon to be wifey (hopefully)
1.0 rotwiler/chow (Boomer-wifey's pooch)
1.0 norm corn (Jake aka grumpy old terdhead)
1.0 col redtail boa (Switch, formally known as Dixie)
0.1 ball python (Bella- wifey's baby girl)
0.1 Brazilian Rainbow Boa (Saphira)

hopeful for not to distant future:
--Brazilian rainbow boas
2 or 3 more? maybe a breeding trio or two pair
-- something for the wifey... my list got to big...

I have Greg maxwell style cages. They are made from melamine, sealed with clear silicone and have beech wood fronts and sliding doors. My adult cages measure 36"L X 24"W X 24"H. Babies are housed in rubbermaid tubs until they are large enough to put in a full sized cage. All arboreals have sphagnum moss as substrate, pothos plants and silk plants. They also have real branches for perches. I don't like PVC.

hey those look great! did you get melamine that came in that interior green color or is that painted or something? i like the branch perch too. so your size 36x24x24 is a good size for adults then?

Those are very nice, I agree with you real branches do look nicer, even if they do need to be replaced more. Do you have your pothos in soil/pot or are they just rooting in the spagnum?

The melamine was ordered in the green color. I like the shade of green and I think it makes the animals feel secure. The pothos is just in pots. They do pretty well that way, and if they finally reach their demise, I just replace the plant.
