Anyone Have Any Experience With White Lipped Pythons?

Years back my brothers friend has a store and had a great distribution guy in Indonesia. Even the wild caught southern black locality animals wouldn’t bite they were amazing animals. I personally thought they looked better too. Jet black with that awesome iridescence. Only person I know of that breeds them now gets one clutch a year and didn’t get any this year. Have to get lucky to find one or go to one of the major shows. If you do find one you will be a happy camper they are great animals. I spoke to a biologist years ago who did some field work out there and thinks they are less defensive cause they deal with a lot less predators.

I've only seen a couple white lipped pythons for sale ( like 4 or 5 I think ). Most were southerns I believe I only remember one northern and he had a nasty attitude. I have some pictures somewhere. A buddy of mine has a southern male, about 6 feet long or thereabouts. It's less defensive than his Carpet.

A little update, DM Exotics has a waiting list for white lipped pythons. Unfortunately a snake in the 300s is beyond what i can afford right now but a least i know where i can find some. the northern was at the All Maryland reptile show back in July, the southerns were at repticon Maryland.

Wow! I have to say that's actually quite a bit less expensive than I was expecting. They're the same price as my sterling ball python.
