White Lipped Python

Alright, so she came in about 45 minutes ago. Being so tempted, I had to take her out and hold her for a moment, anyways to atleast grab a few photos. To my amazement, she didn't try to nip at me or anything.

Nice White Lip, I love those snakes

Beautiful girl. Hopefully she keeps the mellow temperament.

Thanks, yes I hope she does too, I'm just going to have to spoil her like i do my Annie. I kiss my Annie on the head, and I rub my nose on her head, and she loves to be petted under the neck. Hopefully I can get my White Lip to be like that, she doesnt seem to be "too" head shy. So In about a months time, I will be able to tell.

Just hope it doesn't latch on to your lip. That would suck.

Very nice! I really like white lips but I've heard they had that they're fairly tempermental.

every person i talked to says white lips are nippy, and every one ive seen were nippy, but this one isnt.

great looking white lip! i hope she stays chill for you!

Congats.....that thing is sick!!!!:gj:

I don't suggest doing that to any snake. That will greatly increase you chance of being bit in the face. :weirdface

Yes, that's a possibility, and one im willing to take, I strongly believe snakes show affection(in their own way), just as i strongly believe they see when you show them affection. Just like animals can sense fear.

I kiss all my snakes.

But Balls aren't exactly "nippy" lol

(haha I kiss my balls) :rofl:

I kiss all my snakes EXCEPT my white-lips. Mine aren't nippy, but they are nervous and I think they prefer not to have a big face coming at them.

lol, mines nervous right now, so i wont do it. i say in about a month ill have her more comfortable then bill gates in his mansion.

Here's a picture of my female. She's '07. The picture makes her look a little lighter than she actually is.

D'Albertis'.. I love those. One of the most natural beauties.
Your lucky, you got a well behaved one.

I saw a baby pair up for sale in a reptile store years back. I wanted them so bad. But whack whack whack they were both nippy as hell. I think I had at least 6 bite marks (blood dots hehee babies) all together. They actually didn't stop biting me till I put them back down. I just wish they were more mellow. Even just a little bit. hehe

I will try my luck again with them.. some day.
Their colors are just too amazing to ignore.

That is one gorgeous snake! I've always thought they were beautiful, but i'm too much of a wuss I guess. LOL

Yea, I was holding her for a minute this morning while I put a Bio Vine in the tank for her to climb on and such, and some other decor to make it seem as close to home as possible, and she was slithering around, and I was only working with one hand, next thing I know she was by my ear & chin area. I just said to myself: "wow I really don't feel like getting bit", and she didn't. She has yet to nip/strike at me or anything.
