I agree w/ Grant, check out the book The More Complete Chondro by Greg Maxwell, especially if you are interested in getting one, I did.

Everyone one already answered but i'd like to add that the name "Chondro" comes from the old classification Chondropython viridis, before there were moved to Morelia. People have been always called them chondro's though and I doubt that will change

It's fine. Just in the future, maybe don't answer or do some research on the subject before answering to avoid giving incorrect information.

And like the other two have said, there is no such thing as a dumb question (just dumb answers)!

it was the first time I ever heard of that name. i made an educated guess. (not a correct one). but there is no such thing as a stupid question.

There's no such thing as a dumb question... Usually. But actually a Chondro is just a nick name for gtbs. It isn't a relative of a green tree, or have to be any color. Its simply a green tree python.

No, not at all. Sorry, opal, but that is incorrect.

A chondro is just a nickname for green tree pythons, I have no idea where the name came from (it has no relation to the scientific name or anything). Chondro and green tree python are both just Morelia viridis.
