I do not think there is any thing wrong with trying to breed chondros first. Thanks to the internet and literature out there, I think if you put your mind and time into it, you can do it. The first snakes I ever breed were T. macrops. A verry delecate tree viper. I just found out what their environment was and then tried to duplicate it. Rainy season, heat , and light. But if you like Asian tree dwelling green snakes that are not too expensive Red tail reen ratsnakes. They will give you a real run for your money. Get good gloves and a hook. Also radiated ratsnakes are fairly inexpensive. They are pretty and can be fiesty. I love arboreal snakes too and have a cool jungle carpet python. They are less expnsive than chondros. Infact there are a few nice adult breeding pair on the classifieds now. But remember If you have an interest in something stick with it and give it 100% effort. Breeding ratsnakes is nothing like breeding chondros. All snakes are cool, and living creatures. They are only expensive because of human beings. Truthfully the life a chondro is equal to a gartersnake. Priceless. Good luck
