    How big do male white lipped pythons get? And what's their temperament?

    White lips are notorious for being one of the more nippy species fyi.

    They're generally known to be defensive, more or less.

    If you get a US captive bred animal, it'll probably be more docile than the cheaper wild-caught imports. But that's not saying docile like a ball python or boa LOL.

    There are different locales of WLP, so the answers to your questions will depend on locality.

    Southerns will typically be in the 8-10 foot range while D'Albertis will typically stay closer to 6-7 feet.
    These are the more common two in the pet trade.

    As for temperament I've read varied responses but they are known to be a bit nippy and challenging to handle. The captive bred animals are usually much more calm than wild caught.

    Hey there! Just wanted to chime in and say that I have a CB female Northern white-lipped python and she's super chill. I have a recent video of her here: https://youtu.be/_p_DInFPXY4

    I highly recommend purchasing a CB individual. You will pay more, but not only will you get a calmer animal, you will be supporting breeders who are working hard to make a strong captive population of this species.
