White Lips???
I was thinking about getting a Whit Lip Python but am not to familiar with them. So if anyone has experience with them I would like to know their temperment, temps humidity and so on.

To my understanding, they have a bad temperment. and grow about 5-6 feet? I'm not familier with them either. Just I know they have a bad reputation.

Northerns (Golden) get 6-8 feet, Southerns (Black) reach 8-10. Most are rather intractable and high strung. Some are handleable if you know how to read them. They take quite a bit of concentration when handling. They have the most teeth among the pythons. They grow pretty quickly as well, here is the difference of just 6 months:
Temps: You want them hot during the day, about 88 ambient with a basking of 95. Night time drops can be down 70-75. Provide dry substrate (newspaper) and a humid hide box to assist with needed humidity when the snake wants it. ALWAYS provide fresh water. |

HAHA!! Yes, we have a pair of those as well. Savu's max out at about 4.5 feet, great starter snakes since they stay so small and if handled regularly will have a great disposition when older (unless you are Telefrag, then they are all evil  ). I really like the Savu's and can't wait to breed our pair at the end of this year. Care is simple, we use newspaper substrate, large water bowl so they can soak/swim. Sometimes I'll put a bit of water in the bathtub and just let them swim for a while for exercise. Basically just keep them the same as the Macks. |

Ya I was planning on breeding My macks this season and went to the reptile store and they have a 6 ft white lip that bites anything that moves in and out of the cage. It got me twice  out of the cage whice was wierd to me cause my macks are demons in the cage but angels out of the cage cause of food response. Do you breed macks? |

Nope, don't even keep any. Of all the Liasis we like the smallest (Savu's) and the biggest (Olives). I can NOT wait to get our Olive pair. *happy sigh* Those are absolutely incredible snakes, let me tell you!

those are beautiful white lips, but just let me tell you where i work we have aboout a year old white lip that hasnt been sold yet but let me tell you if he isnt just the meanest snake ever but i would think as long as your persistent and handle every day it would calm down. but good luck !
