Hey guys, i just got all my christmas money and im thinking about getting another snake. Ive loved the white lipped pythons and i looked into them awhile ago. Before i thought that 5 feet would be my limit for length but now after seeing how small a 5 foot snake is, id like to get a larger constrictor to so something between 8 and 10 feet. I did some research from the limited amount of information out there on the Southern White Lipped Python. They are absolutely beautiful and it says that males only need a 3-4 foot cage, and just my luck i have an extra 4x2x1. Would that be okay for a male adult?

As for temperment does anyone have any imput. I know people say they are nippy and can be Satan's children, but the same was said about the SD retics, and mine is so calm and that seems to be the trend with others. Im not intimidated by a nippy snake.

As for obtaining one, does anyone know any good breeders? I kind of want to go to the White Plains NY expo. Has anyone been to it? Would it be worth about a 5 hour drive?
