Greg Maxwell states in his most recent book "The offspring are yellow, and no maroon neonates have been observed in the wild or been produced by captive breeding of documened CapeYork specimens". Considering he is one of the foremost experts on Chondros in the world, I would have to say that it is fairly extremely likely to be true! Although he does also mention that some of the Europeans believe to the contary and that they have on occasion produced red babies from these animals, taking into the equation that there are no wild chondros in the EU, it is highly likely possibility that at some stage along the line that the blood line may have been crossed with another remembering that all the EU stock would have to be imported.
No Aussie breeder working with Iron Range Chondros have produced any reds from their stock, further backing this theory.
