Hi
You can sex chondros at 12 months and 100g in weight. No need to wait for 2 yrs plus.

Not if you end up with three nice blue Sorong males, you can sell one to me  |

Personally i wouldn't even consider it at this age, still too small and fragile. |

12 months and 100g is the general consensus among the experts as the earliest point at which they can be safely sexed. But I agree with you, you can't breed the snake at 12 months so why the rush? I have chondros in my collection approaching 2 years and 300g that I still haven't probed.

Why are chondros more delicate than, say, royals? Some probe them straight from the egg

| Because of the pre-hensile tail and very small spine. have you ever seen the size of a baby Chondro straight out of the egg, some are barley big enough to eat the smallest of pink's. |
