Northern White Lipped Python- Picture HEAVY!!! CHUNKY!!

This is Jumanji, my beautiful Albertisii. Very docile but amazingly quick reflexes if you aren't on his good list :)

He's shiny lol Very cool.

Thanks! His species is extremely aggressive, so I usually tell people the beauty is worth the bites when taming them down. If they LET you tame them down.
Very amazing species to read about if you are into that sort of thing as well. They take a very long time to sexually mature, are unbelievably beautiful in the sun, usually temperamental (babies are like agents of the devil) and have the most teeth out of all python species. Or at least that is what I read on one site, but people can definitely prove me wrong on that one if they have the evidence :)

Wow gorgeous snake! Love his iridescence :D thanks for sharing your feisty one lol.

awesome snake! deff a pretty species, I want one soo bad

Very cool, haven't seen one in a while. Beautiful, enjoy.

Never seen these before. Awesome snake!

Wicked awesome looking snake. Be sure to keep us updated with pics!

Thanks guys!! I don't know why I didn't think to post pictures on here until recently, but I will be sure to add more. Thanks for your comments! Jumanji appreciates them, too.

Wonderful snake! Thanks so much for sharing pictures. I never get tired of seeing them.

Beautiful animal. One of my favorite python species.

Thanks again! He is really good with people once out of the enclosure but his cage aggression is phenomenal. I will have to take an example video one of these days, but the behavior they display with lashing their tails all around the enclosure is literally one of a kind. I have seen other species do the same technique but not to the same effect as the albertisii. Other than the reticulated, he is probably my favorite python species- if I had to pick, lol.

This species has long since needed attention. Wonderful specimen and great job. Maybe they're just misunderstood like every other 'aggresive' species that proved to be tame over the years? I guess I wouldn't know.
Love his bronze and gold colors though, with that beautiful black head and white lips to boot.

I couldn't agree with you more. They are very aggressive babies, but that is mostly due to importing them wild caught- as not many people have the patience to wait for their long earned sexual maturation.
Actual captive bred Northern or Southern white lipped python babies are noticeably less aggressive and I would even compare their attitude of a nippy carpet python.

However, Jumanji is a wild caught animal and despite all the factors that should only heighten his aggression, he has tamed down very well. I think they are very misunderstood and people just don't get the chance to seem them enough. As for his color, I have never loved anything's true appearance (beauty in their genes) more than the Northern White Lipped. Some people hate the gold, but to me it finalized the beautiful sheen they were born to wear proudly.

He has become a very docile, beautiful boy.
Thanks again, everyone.

Beautiful. I have a liasis fuscus, water python, and I love her. White lipped python is on my short list.

Post pictures of your water python? :)

She is just the sweetest. Baby Northern!! Female, too :)

And last photo update, my 12 year old cousin handling my sexually mature male, Northern White, Jumanji.

Thanks, haha. Honestly I wouldn't have posted it with him pulling my shirts all the way down, but it is SO hard to capture his white jaw at a decent angle :( Sorry if it's offensive!

Not offended here! Beautiful snake!(and owner!)


[emoji216][emoji106][emoji216]

Thank you! Haha. He is a good buddy :)

He is absolutely beautiful! I would love to see a pic of him in the sun. He has such amazing color. I love that deep gold, it looks almost golden/khaki. He looks almost metallic. Amazing!

Yeah, he is just a bad ass snake! His colors just amaze me!


[emoji216][emoji106][emoji216]

He is absolutely stunning.

Thank you. I actually put him up for vote on the Herp of the Month, so hopefully others will get to see him, too. They are a really brilliant species and I wish it were easier to frequent breeding them in the trade. Such requirements are needed, though :( Maybe one day! Thanks for all your comments!

He is very pretty!

Incredible looking snake! What is their natural habitat? I mean are they arboreal? Do they hang out in the water sometimes?

These animals are actually water lovers! They catch fish, small birds, rodents and occasionally small lizards in the wild. For my set up, I have multiple branches to provide options, multiple ground- partly submerged hides, a huge water bowl and clutter :P They are known for being a jack of all trades species. They love it all xD

wow that is one stunning snake

Thank you! He's a good boy in real life, too :P Not just in pictures, I promise xD

Wow, thanks for sharing! I've never seen one before... I'm thinking I'll be reading into these guys and snooping around, haha. Very pretty snake!

Thanks for looking! I always love people who can appreciate a D'Albertisii for the beautiful animals they are, despite the stigma :)
Good luck hunting and researching! They are easily the most rewarding species I've ever kept. I wish you the happiest hunt :P

Such a pretty snake! Love the coloring!

I haven't responded or updated anyone in quite awhile, but I am in the process of job search and graduation with my psychology degree. So bear with me!!! Here is a link to a video update on my newer female Northern White. She is the future female mate to my male Jumanji that you've seen in the previous pictures. My other Whites are doing great as well, but I don't prefer to post them all at once :P Then you'd lose interest after seeing them all! Haha. Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stk2NgZk-oY

P.S. When I say future mate, I mean way in the future. This female (Sakai) is only two years of age and Jumanji my male is almost 7 years old. Definitely not a realistic pair at all! I am making this disclaimer so if it was brought up, I can say I addressed it already. Hehe, thanks again and I hope you enjoy the video.

Amazing looking reptile! :gj:

Thank you :) My Whites have my heart.

Oh, I just found this picture. I had to post it. I simply couldn't refrain. Haha.

My female Northern White, Sakai, is training my boyfriend into proper stance. She is a very stern overlord.

Ahhhh I laughed! Ty for the pic!

P.S. That bite mark on my face is from a baby Argentine, nothing serious. No White Lipped trauma here.

I am happy this thread is here, it makes it easy to review my progress.

Wow beautiful!

Still lovely snakes. Appreciate the pics :D

Thanks guys, sorry to keep blowing this thread up! I just want to build a bank of Northern White Lipped pictures, haha. https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...62841091_o.jpg
