Elemental Exotics
We had the unexpected opportunity to acquire some GPTs for a very good price today, that we just couldn't pass up. There were three available, a bigger orange one and two yellows. Originally we were just going to get two of them and I wanted the orange one for sure but then couldn't chose between the two yellows, so my husband said that we should just take them all. We figured that we can keep them around six months to a year, get them sexed and then sell one or two of them, which would pay for the one we keep or even a bit of profit on them.
At least that's what we told ourselves to justify getting them, we will have to see if we can bear to part with any of them when the time comes!

We took a ton of pictures before getting them set up, so here comes a lot! First up is the orange one.

I used my ugly yellow gloves while briefly handling them but they were actually calm and didn't attempt to strike. The yellows were very calm, the orange one does have a bit more of a temper. But even s/he wasn't bad at all.

Soo beautiful!

I'm really jealous! More people need to be breeding these snakes. They are amazing creatures yet too many babies you see are "farm raised" or imports. It's a shame really considering their dismal survival rate.

Good luck with the babies and you will NEED to post progression pics :)
 
Wow- tons of pics!! I can't even pick a favorite.

Yeah, my husband has the bad habit of taking rapid fire shots, figuring at least a few will turn out, which does usually work. But then we end up with a bunch of good, very similar pictures and I can't chose between them!
 
Took some more pictures of them all today to mark their progress. This is Yellow #1, hasn't gained much green so far.

And here is Yellow #2, who has actually gotten quite a bit of new green in just two weeks.

And then the Orange one, unfortunately it was just starting to shed. So I only snapped a few pictures. Will have to get a few more once he's done.

Thanks! These guys are so photogenic that it's hard to get a bad picture of them!
 
I love them. I'd love to keep chondros in the future. Their colour variation is outstanding! Congrats on the new animals
