Those are day old button quail that you got from me which are about half the size or less of the standard day old coturnix quail which is the industry standard available feeder quail. That is important because the smaller size stresses the animal far less! If you have a sensitive gut or weaker animal these are about the size of fuzzy but with shape they are only as taxing on the animal as a pinky! They also seem to pass the digestive track faster as well
My tip for getting baby chondros to feed ... defrost the pinkie in the water from canned tuna ( tuna in spring water not oil ! ) and the bonus is you get to have a tuna sandwich 😁
I've always kept chickdown in the freezer, simply because I concidered it a food item. as for starting emeralds since you don't mention it here, when I couldn't get my basins started on f/t ratpups I started breeding african softfur rats because more experienced people recommended them and for whatever reason they did like those babies, but that could also be because those were f/k, however once started they took normal f/t ratpups as well.
Im 20 and want to get a gtp as my first snake i know its not a good beginner snake at all but its my favorite by far and i appreciate having information like this so i can prepare and prevent making mistakes other people have
Relating to the story from Greg Maxwell on quail down. When I kept arboreals in the 80's and 90's I was reluctant to use any quail feeders (or down) for fear of salmonella. I would sacrifice an occasional anole to rub it's innard juice on to mouse pinks to start chondro babies, but never quail...and I did the lizard blood only when necessary, keeping one anole frozen to use multiple times.
Excellent video Gary! Ever tried shed skin from a Hemidactylus frenatus? I used this trick (a piece on the head of a wet pinky mouse) with some stubborn feeders in the past and they went into feeding mode as soon as they smelled it. Perhaps this helps some of you out there in addition to Gary's great video.
While I am holding out for a Green Sanzinia from you to be available, I would be tempted by that jungle carpet clutch - amazing animals! Speaking of Sanzinia, do the tricks you use for the chondros and ETB work on Sanzinia as well?
Hi Andrea! Honestly.....baby sanzinia are such large and nippy babies, they typically take live hopper mice on the first attempt! Thank you for watching!
You need someone to fix your shirt! Thanks for the video, some helpful tips in there. I have a runted emerald tree boa about the size of a newly hatched green tree python that absolutely will not eat and I'm starting to lose hope.
Thanks so much! Been struggling getting my 4 month old ETB to eat. Tried live and frozen mice, scented them with quail scent, but no luck. Reached out to Jason and ordered some button quail. He is super responsive and helpful. Great customer service. Took a little finagling, but she finally ate. Phew! Question: Any reason not to keep ETBs on a quail only diet?
Hi Annarose, if you have consistent access to quail, and plan to keep your animal forever, there is no downside. I say "keep it forever" because if you go to sell it at any point, and it only eats quail, it might be difficult to find it a new home. In any event I'm so glad it helped, and thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for those tips mate 👍, one Q have your vets had any advance in a cue for 'nidovirus' in pythons, I'm do here in Aussie and our vets have nothing to cure it, it's a death sentence, I.ve recently lost 2 Green tree pythons and 4 Bredli all juvenile (2 years circa) so any input on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Cheers mate.
Garry, I wish I could shed some light on this topic, I'm unable to. There are several folks over here in the US who have done extensive studies on Nido, and while we know far more than we did several years ago, there are still many unanswered questions. Thanks so much for watching!
Hey Gary, do you have a rough guide on how long you would wait for size / age on a chondro before you would consider it “safer” to probe them? By an experienced hand of course. Thanks for your time!
Personally I would keep him on mice. The concern with quail is always getting them off of quail, and unlike lizards or fish, I don't think a varied diet plays a significant factor in a snake's overall well -being. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much man. You’re such a great friend.
And your a LEGEND, we love you bro , i have sent you a dm on insta brian ❤️

Can you make a video of an Amazon basin tree boa growing up ? I want to see how they change from orange to green

About a year, Ryan. When it is large to take almost full gown mice.
Would you recommend feeding gtp quail I have a yearling on f/t mice but I would like to try quail for him

Hello I’m looking out to buy an Amazon basin snake so I would love to ask you how much is the price for this snake from steve volk ?
Can't find that guy for the babies Quail the he have another way to contact ? thx
facebook.com/pseustes Try this......
Is there a way I can call you
Do you need to have a Nito test in order to ship a GTP through FedEx??
You do not need a Nido test in order to ship an animal.
I just got off the phone with FedEx and they just told me that it's required to have a negative NIDO test in order to ship with FedEx now.
That's their new requirements they told me for a green tree pythons.
What is chick down?
The furry stuff/ feathers on a chick.
