There’s been recent studies tying full formed babies dying in the egg to similar circumstances to SIDS- heavy carbon dioxide in tubs settling down in a tub when babies are exerting themselves. We’re trying a couple of small holes below the level the eggs are at, and one above so as the CO2 leaves, fresh air enters.
I have a pair of aru green tree pythons. I love your channel. Best GTP info out there. Keep it up. I’m just curious as to why you work full time. Looking at your snake rooms, looks like there would be plenty of income generated from your production.
Once day, Noah! My normal job (Own my staffing company), takes very good care of me, allowing me to enjoy and keep many of the snakes I produce without having the need to sell them. Thanks for watching! Gary
Just found your Channel, really interesting thanks, Would be great to catch up. I live in the UK, but spent 10 years working in Indonesia breeding and exporting, reptiles, mammals and birds. Chondros are my favourite also, I learnt from a UK breeding legend to turn the temp of incubation down in the last couple of weeks in increments aim for 31.5-32.2c then in last 10-12 days decrease by 0.2c per day mainly to ensure when they hatch the yolk is at the best consistency for absorption into the neonate.
Great video! Can you do a video on your Natures Spirit incubator, and walk through the mods you made to it and how you set it up before putting Chondro eggs in it? And what is the reason that you started using substrate instead of newspaper in your cages? You always promotoed newspaper/paper towels instead of susbstrated before.
I've addressed my NS incubators a couple of times prior in past videos, but happy to do it again! No worries. Mulch? Unfortunately due to continual dry sheds, I needed to make a change. Still not a big fan, but it helps tremendously with sheds. Thanks for watching! Gary
Thanks so much for the entertaining videos. Truly awesome to see how well collections can be kept. I would like to step up my game an add a GTP to my collection, let me know how I could get in the game.
just gained a new subscriber! amazing content, and i've always wanted a GTP or maybe even an ETB at some point. Got a baby carpet right now to raise up nice and good :D
Awesome video! I love chondros I had one years and years ago and sometimes think about getting another just for a display animal. Currently I’m breeding ball pythons and raising up 2 female jungle carpets so I’m not sure if I want to jump into chondros again because I know where that will take me lol.
Just subscribed to your channel. I am very interested in this hobby or maybe as it would be called part of a life style. Your video is very informative. They look so cool. I want to obtain one I just don't know where to start.
Hi, great video👌✌️ I have one question about incubation GTP. Where you put the sond of termometr? Inside in box with eggs or placed in incubator? Thanks✌️🐍
Excuse me sir. Id like to purchase GTP from you. You seem to be a trustworthy person I can trust to purchase one of these beauties. Yes I'm very well versed with their needs don't worry. I would worry aswell. These snakes are NOT for everyone. Please write back
Great question, and since I don't have a definitive answer, here is what I can tell you. If kept too wet, blistering would be the primary issue IMO as opposed to an RI. I can confirm however that I'm pushing almost 200+ baby chondros produced during my breeding career, and I've not had one come down with an RI pre shed. Although I would think if kept too warm (above 85) or too cold (below 79), combined with high humidity, chances for an RI would increase drastically. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
I appreciate your videos! Always SO helpful. I currently own 3 green trees 1 biak, 1 Aru and 1 sorong. I'm looking to buy my first designer green tree, where can i find these designer green trees? I feel like i have tried everything.
Thanks for watching, Hilberto! Finding Designer Green Trees? Very few ever available. Most breeders hold them back, or have them placed years before hatching. Sorry. Wish I had better news!
Hey Gary, I'm new to your channel. Definitely loving it!!. Your enclosures and set up is amazing. Your animals are beautiful as well. Will you have any condros available in 2022?
Hi Stacy, I don't start waitlist until after my eggs hatch, and then they go almost immediately. Stick around though. In about 2 more years, I'll have almost 9 girls up to size, and with any luck there will be plenty to go around. Thanks for watching!!
I wonder if the dead in the egg pythons are a form of evidence bias. You think they are saved by cutting the egg once the first breaches however the time line of when others should have breached has passed at that point and you wouldnt know because they never emerged so by cutting after the first one emerges slightly the others who missed their window already died. I’m definitely no breeding expert just a thought I had.
I have ball pythons but now im gettin into the green tree pythons and i was wonder what the difference was between the red babies and they yellow babies...do both grow up to be green or are they born red then through the growing stage the turn yellow then green?
Gary i have a wee question. I know you live your green sanzinia.I’m wondering how much do cb green sanzinia go for in the US? I live in the UK and i have the opportunity to get some young green sanzinia in the new year. The price i have been quoted which seems like a really good price to me is £290 which is around $385 . As i say that seems like theyr going for a reasonable price.i know the people are more concerned about getting good homes for them than they are about the money. Would love to hear your take on it. Hope you had a great thanksgiving.
I'm pretty new to the reptile community, but what I've heard is that if sounds too good of a price, it's probably not legit. But if you know the people I'm sure it's different.
@@SomeOne-zw6kh yes i would normally agree but the pricing in the UK. and US can be very different in some species. I’ll give you a couple of examples… In the US a normal chahoua gecko is going to set you back atleast $1000 usually more like $1500 . Here in the UK i bought TWO UKcaptive born mainlsnd chahoua for £150. One of em is just a normal coloured and one is more or less jet black with a couple of tiny spots. I have never ever seen one like it and i’m pretty sure it would be a $2k animal in the states. But it works in reverse too.i wanted a d’alberts python.i looked them up for sale in the US and they were going for $250 mostly farmed imports but in great condition. Found one cb for sale here in the UK it was ten times the price £2500 . Not only that it sold within 5 minutes . The people that sell the green sanzinia are rock solid. Very well known and respected within the uk herp scene. They run the big Uk IHS reptile show at donnington and are good friends with the well respected herpetologists Romulas Whittaker.(you may have seen him on tv chasing cobras about) they have the cites paper work for these sanzinia. Im just curious what they go for in the US and why Gary is so cuckoo for coco pops with green sanzinia but not red sanzinia.
@Happy Bee I'll have to youtube them! Like I said, I'm fairly new to the whole situation hah. I've tried out other reptile channels, but most of them I feel like are more geared toward kids maybe?? Idk. Hard to get into sometimes. I have heard that prices differ depending on the country, which is insane. Well the amount of the difference is insane. Did you end up deciding to get them??
The person that says gtp breeders that cuts theyr eggs are greedy are clearly both not a snake or reptile breeder and obviously mentally challenged . I mean if you can help more animals live that way why wouldn’t you you know?I would just totally ignore such comments completely Gary as they are 110% irrelevant to the issue
I have to say I also let out a “Sigh Of Relief” when I heard the news Brittany was finally free of her father,I mean,can’t a girl shave her head and chase people around with umbrellas and “not” be judged by the whole world,she was going through a rough patch in her life and the head shaving and umbrella chasing was like therapy for her,LEAVE BRITTANY ALONE!!!!
the people that grandstand about egg cutting are so fuckin confusing to me. nothing else we do with them is natural but that's where you draw the line?
Gary i have a litter of emeralds notherns,super frustrating to get them to eat.3months old have only 2 eating on their own.Im assist feeding all of them and they seeem to be doing better and better. As far as taking the pinky easier and easier to the point now i put it in their mouth and they start taking it down by themselves.They will smell the oinky o the forceps seem interested to the point they open theit6mouths like they wanna eat it and then no turn around and go a different way.some bite it but never try to coil it as of yet.i try and try but nothing.so ill leave it in over night if the next morning its still there i assist feed.when i leave it in over night its a live pinky in a deli cup without the top.when i assist feed its a freshly killed pinky.any tips?ive bred carpets,bloods,balls and gtps so im not really a beginner im 51 been keeping snakes since i was 12.This is my first litter of emeralds and they seem to b all runners except 2 that are eating on their own every 2 or 3 weeks even though i offer every week
