OK,i don't own any greens and don't know a great deal about hem.What i do know s that a hatches especially as well as juveniles they mst be handled like a powder puff...their tails are extremely sensitive and damage can be caused very easily just by incorrect handling.The best way to avoid this is to have a removale perch so you don't even touch the animal..

`I think ppl would be surprised at how many breeding chondros are actually out there,wether they are true Aussie animals is very deabatable and i highly oubt any of them are.I kniw for fact that Steve Irwin has 27 of this species and even aske dthe original owner of most of his stock on breeding information.This is still a very disputable matter!!!!

They aren't as tricky or hard to keep as many think,as hatchies and juveniles they have extremely delicate tails and most ppl are reluctant to even handle them at this age although once they are mature they are no different than keeping a regular carpet.They do require more humidity than other carpets as youngsters and the mortality rate of hatchies etc due to p[rolapse etc is more than your normal carpet...don't ask me why but this is certainly the case!!!I am also just guestamimating that they need no more light"UV"than any other xarpet excluding diamonds.

I say look aftewr them like gold and treat them as such and you should by rights do fine but there are always exceptions...i would hate to lose a gtp to prola[se which happens with all carpets only becuase of their $$$$$$$value...I would love to see a productive line of pure Australian chondros in captivity as there are none at all available,and if they are it's off the books!

Why of all our species is the Aussie Morelia Viridis not available but exotic or deemed Aussie specimens are?
