Does anybody on here breed them? Or selling some for that matter?

awesome... I've been reading about them... did you get yours at a very young age? I read that it's very difficult for some of the youngsters to take their first meal...

how's yours holding up? How's it like keeping up with his needs???

thanks,

As with any of the reptile species known for requiring more advanced care, starting with a true bred and hatched in The US is the key to initial success. Enough GTP's are bred annually that they are readily available domestically for just slightly more than the imports, which will in the long run require additional expense in vet bills. Neos that are 3+ months old from a reputable breeder are essentially bulletproof, and generally much more relaxed with handling than their imported counterparts. All my GTP's were hatched in the US and in 6 years I've only been struck at, never bitten, once. And it was totally my fault for startling him.

The classifieds forum at www.moreliaviridis.com is usually a good source for finding quality animals from reputable sellers.

Oh, and speaking of breeding, there's a chance I could have some high white/high blue Aru-type babies next Spring/Summer pending my female being ready.

his upkeep is about 10x less than my chams, thats for sure. i keep him in an exo terra 18x24x24in cage. i built some bamboo climbs and i mist him 2x a day. i feed him once to twice a week depending on how fast he digests. his basking temps are about 86F - 84F ambient around 70F low. i got him when he was 3 months old. and hes now 4 months. much easier than my cham. though a beautiful and calm animal. very pleasant to handle. i also bought a western hognose snake female when i bought him. she is also very pleasant to handle. also, a really cool snake the cage is temporary. i will have him is something bigger when hes older.
