As far as farmed goes.I have a couple in my possesion that are farmed and they are doing excellent.Never had an issue with feeding or internal parasites.
On the other hand,it is risky with farmed animals.

I'm learning about all of this as fast as I can.

Forgive my ignorance, but why are CBB pythons better than wild-caught? Or farmed pythons? Is it because they're more docile and are free of disease?

You are relying on someone thousands of miles away informing everyone that the stock which they are selling is farm bred.

There is NO WAY you can verify that.

Corruption amonst officials is common (in far east anyway) so a CITES permit is no guarantee.

Stick to a true captive bred animal from someone who has been recommended to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (slippery42) http://chondroforum.yuku.com/sreply/6803 Sun, 04 Mar 2007 05:22:37 GMT http://chondroforum.yuku.com/reply/6802/t/Buying-chondros-neonate-or-adult-at-reptile-shows-.html#reply-6802

CWeb - What's the real deal with Chondro farming in Indo? How many people are actually breeding these guys as opposed to hatching babies from collected gravid females? I've seen some extravagant claims in the past few months and I'm wondering if these are all just hot air and hype.

If you can get parent info, then that leans more toward a true captive bred.

Having a number of imports and captive bred, I'd strongly recommend spending the extra 100 or 150 and get something from a private breeder, or set aside some extra monies for vet bills. I've been going through lots of vet visits and recouperating animals with the imports.Either way, you're going to spend... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (aaron florian) http://chondroforum.yuku.com/sreply/6800 Sat, 03 Mar 2007 17:16:00 GMT http://chondroforum.yuku.com/reply/6799/t/Buying-chondros-neonate-or-adult-at-reptile-shows-.html#reply-6799 4.5~Cornsnakes

I searched for this topic but didn't find anything.

Would you guys recommend AGAINST buying chondros at a reptile show? I guess I'm concerned about health, etc, as I'm still a newbie and don't fully understand the whole "cross-breeding" dam/sire stuff.
