i like the carpondros myself! there are a few site that have a bit about them, will find them 4 u

 

I'm a fan of them. All the ethical/moral arguments against hybridisation per se are pretty weak so I wouldn't worry about that too much. In any case, there's a possibility that carpondros occur naturally, anyway.

 

sounds interesting anyone got any pics of existing examples? I could gooogle it I know but hey I'm lazy : victory:

 

BHB have got at least one, if you search on youtube for snakebytes.tv its in one of their videos, i think one called something along the lines "snakes we havent shown you yet" ill try and dig it out later

sorry if its not much help

 

There's a couple of breeders of them here in the UK and babies were up for sale a month or two back on one of the classifieds. They aren't common but they really aren't all that rare either, to be honest.

 

sorry to sound stupid... but what is a carpondro?

sorry to sound stupid... but what is a carpondro?

A cross between a carpet and a gtp (also known as a chondro). The opening post does explain that though, doesn't it?

 

so it does... but im simple lol
thanks anyway

This is from another forum (cheers Mr Man) and the second pic is the pairing that produced them. Not much information on this clutch other than it was one of two clutches.

 

i must say that is an absolutely stunning snake, i would love one

 

What would be the result in this, a snake that acts like a gtp but looks like a carpet/gtp cross or would it act like a carpet?

 

i suppose a mix of the two?

 

I dont know mate i think that may be down to individual snakes but unless anyone keeps them i guess no one can really say.

 

Did I hear that it has proved difficult or impossible to breed carpondros together or has that happened now?

 

not 100% sure but it may have been done, could be wrong tho

 

They are pretty snakes i dont see why people have a problem cross breeding snakes its no different to what people do with dogs aslong as they dont do it stupid like a corn with a burm i dont see anything wrong with it

 

From what little bit ive managed to read on line carpondros are fertile and not majority difficult to produce. Im sure more people would be producing them though if that where the case.

 

Just read carpondro x carpet python pairing have been successfully deeming carpondros fertile, but as yet carpondro x carpondro has not yet been achieved

 

In a carpondro x carpondro cluth would there be a mixture or carpets gtp and carpondro's? Or is it not possible to say without having a such a clutch?

 

I don't get the big deal either? Isn't it just the same as selective breeding, like producing morphs?

 

i love the carpondro's hope to own one one day in 2010 poss 2009 but will see how things go :2thumb:
