Well this is kind of a funny thread. It is very unlikely that Chondro's live in that area but as it has been pointed out it isn't completely impossible. Chondro's have been observed living in the high Mountains by people studying Boeleni, area's that have very cool night time temps 10 C and lower at times. These animals have adapted through time to these temps just as the Boeleni have. So in order for there to be a self sustaining population in Sydney they would have had to be there all along.
A captive animal escaping and surviving to reproduce is really really unlikely unless it originally came from an area like I mentioned above. By the way Chondro's are just as likely to escape as any other python, I remember a thread on another site where a youngster had escaped and was found perched outside of the Apartment where he was kept many stories up, I'll see if I can find it as there was a photo of it where it was found.
I've had a few escape over the years and one adult male that was never found but again they couldn't survive if they made it outside.
Now what would you do if you found this hanging over a tree limb while out walking in the woods?
I already picked "Run screaming in Terror! " After knocking whomever I was with down so I'd have a better chance of escaping!

Minka, that is a photo of me running from the thing above.. If you look closely you can see the fear in my eyes!! Randy
This discussion made it to page 16? Did people actually discuss it the whole way through, or is most of this thread filled with posts like the one I'm making now, from people who thought it too ridiculous to read beyond the first two or three posts?
I have Chondros breeding in the drains outside my house, the cat used to bring them in, but the pterodactyls ate it (they're not extinct, you know? A few of them were missed by scientists, they live in the suburbs eating domestic pets).

Obviously everyone is denying the existance of GTPs in Sydney so they can capitalise on the profit of this wild colony.
