I found this in the net, Is this a carpondro? http://www.baumpython-riehl.de/Weiss/index.php?action=showgallery&pfad=Glaeser%20Weiss

looks to be yes

There has been plenty of debate on the MVF http://moreliaviridis.yuku.com/ about this animal. As far as I know it is not a carpondro or hybrid of any type. I think if it were a hybrid it siblings of offspring would show these traits of whatever species it was crossed with. I think it's more of a paradox type animal or that one oddity that pops up in a clutch every blue moon. The parent stock and bloodline this snake originated from were heavily patterned animals. After seeing other pretty outrageous chondros in my life I don't see why this one can't be pure also. Mixing locales can bring on some strange attributes in the offspring this one just happens to be say out there. It's nothing short of extremely gorgeous whatever it is. This is one of my problems with the whole hybrid thing, a snake like this pops up and everyone doubts it's purity because people have succeeded in crossing GTP's and Carpets. Also on the flip side this could very well be a hybrid and the breeder is trying to pass it off as pure. who knows for sure, except for the breeder. Until there is proof that this is not a pure chondro I am going to take the breeders word for it. I have also yet to see a carpondro that isn't with no black. When this snake was born I am not sure how many carpondros had been bred yet especially in Germany, where hybrids are look down on. But you should go to http://moreliaviridis.yuku.com/ and type in glaser in the search field and check out an on going debate since 2006. Also this German forum http://www.chondro-community.com/thread.php?threadid=252&threadview=0&hilight=&hilightuser=0&page=1 where the owner talks about the snake and its bloodline. If I'm am not mistaken Rico Walder owns a Glaser animal. He might be able to shed some light on this. I wish I could have been more help but when you check out all the debates you'll see why there is no cut and dry answer to this. Again it is a beautiful animal.

thank you charles. In my opiñion it is a carpondro, especially for the babie photos. Maybe it is an f2, 75 % chondro, 25 % carpet, but as you said, only the breeder knows.

I found this in the net, Is this a carpondro? http://www.baumpython-riehl.de/Weiss/index.php?action=showgallery&pfad=Glaeser%20Weiss No it is not. I found this pic about a year ago and contacted the owner. This is the result of a Glaser x Glaser pairing. And if I remember rightly, this is the only living of that clutch. He stopped trying this pairing because the offspring of these pairings (with other people's snakes too) are often very weak and not able to live. Several people tried that had got Gläser animals as some of them are spectacular. If I remember rightly, the original pairing of Mr Gläser was a Biak x Sorong pairing. A lot of people tried this too but never got the same results. In spite of this there are a lot of animals of those pairings called Gläser that are not. Gläser are only the animals bred by Mr. Gläser. He had only 2 clutches of this pairing and the animals were all sold (Mr Gläser does not breed anymore). Now this one lived and is now 4 years old. The owner said he wanted to breed it (its a male) to a non-related female in the season 09/10. I don't know whether he really did and, if so, to what end.

it's like some others said, a gläser animal, glaser bred HY biak to heavy patterned sorong and got two small clutches, the gläser animals sure do look nice. so this is a result of biak/sorong X biak/sorong, spectecular but not a carpondro. Daren I thought the animal was older and he tried to breed it several years now without any luck, this male could be a dud. btw. if it was a carpandro he would say it was, good lookign carpondro's fetch a high price. Jurgen.

It looks like it has it's colors reversed in a freak genetic flaw. Maybe it has his balls reversed also.

Daren I thought the animal was older and he tried to breed it several years now without any luck, this male could be a dud. Jurgen. I phoned him up last year and he said, this male was 3 years old and he would try it out in the season in winter (2009/10). I think, he tried to breed the parents for some years with nearly no success. Since the birth of this one which is if I recall rightly the only living of this clutch, he did not want to try them again. Perhaps I ask him again if he paired him and whether he has a clutch/offspring. Would interest me too. I really adored "Snow Cone" but understood that this animal is dead and has only one living offspring at Matt Lerer's. Have her pic on my desk of the office. Does anybody know why she died?

don't remember why snowcone died but I'm pretty sure the one remaining offspring is in Rico Walders collection. (I have a photo of here made by Greg Schroeder on my fridge) I checked my emails from the past and in 2007 he was already hoping for babies from the white male, so I'd say it's 6-7 years old.
