Inbreeding in the green tree python (Morelia viridis)

Inbreeding in the green tree python (Morelia viridis)

“Diversity of opinion means the existence of a variety of different, independent opinions and sources of information, without any one of them occupying a dominant position.”

With this deliberately chosen introduction, I would like to start a controversial topic, which will be dealt with in several parts. 

Part 1: How do I recognize inbreeding in Morelia viridis?

In short: not at all.

My current animal stock in words and pictures Part 2: Iron Man

Part 2: Iron Man [AmWu_2018-11_JoF-04]

In this part I will introduce Iron Man, father of the IrTw neonates from 2022 and the IrCa neonates from 2023 and 2025.

Iron Man didn't have it easy in his first few months as a neonate.

He persistently refused to eat for many months. On 25 July 2019, he finally began to eat without support.

Hence the name Iron Man. The name stands for endurance and strength of character.

Most of my animals are given their name because of a special feature in their character or behaviour.

US Designer Chondros – part 1

The topic of US designer Chondros is so extensive that many articles will appear in the coming months.

A central element will be the Morelia viridis breeders of the last 40 years as well as some of the most spectacular lines that have emerged with the enthusiasm of these people.

Lines that have also found their way into Europe and Germany and have been and continue to be promoted by well-known breeders.

Before the first part of this series begins, we would like to thank those people and institutions without whose support and permission this series would not have been possible.
