I agree with KimBurge and Dphhchondro, The glass/screen top cages should be avoided. I know I OWN the EXO-Terra and it is a real pain, I had to block off most of the screen top to hold the moisture. It took weeks to get it right, my GTP was probably 8 months old and did not like the adjusting process. I did get it right though and the cage does look awesome... Just not a good way to start... Go with the plastic tub... it is not pretty but it sure gets the job done. :) Take the time to...

Welcome to the forum!

Do you go out of town for a week at a time very often? If it's not too often, I don't think it would inhibit you from owning these awesome snakes. I would probably recommend at least a yearling since neonates require more frequent cleaning and humidity. I keep my neonates humid 99% of the time and they go to the bathroom every few days. Do you know someone who could come by once during your time away to check in on a chondro while you're...

I kept easy species such as Garter and Corn snakes a few years back.

I have successfully been keeping Marine fish and Corals for the last few years, ironically I think these have probably prepared me for the commitment and workload of Chondros rather than the Snakes.

Hi, welcome (officially now) to the forum!
When i had my first chondro, I was in the Navy. We go out to sea for weeks long periods, and sometimes longer. My chondros were fine as long as you feed them properly before you leave, and are able to leave enough water/misting before you leave. But if you plan on going out more than a week, I recommend a sitter. I've tried two weeks before but that usually ends up in dried up water bowls and a really bad sheds. So I'd get a sitter. When...

Hi guys and girls.

This is my first post but have been reading for a while.

Just a few question of advice as i am seriously considering the purchase of a Green tree python.

1. My job sometimes requires me to go away from Monday to Friday. I realise I could use a misting system on a timer to ensure humidity, however would I be better waiting until im employed in a job (if ever), where I could guarentee being at...
