Am I Ready To Care For A Chondro?
It doesn t take a lot of experience to prepare to care for one. It makes little sense to go out and purchase an Amazon Tree Boa being they are a cheaper arboreal with which to gain experience. It is, however, important to have some hands on experience with snakes and an understanding of temperature regulation, along with the proper equipment (heating supplies, thermostats etc.). Also, one needs to be comfortable dealing with rodents. Since Chondros are more specialized and don t tolerate the neglect as many other species do, a good question to ask before you get your first chondro is this: When the time comes to provide your animals with water, do you take out the water bowl and disinfect it prior to putting it back, or do you just fill it back up? If you just fill it back up, maybe you are not ready to care for them.
