I love the BHP, and I will second that it sounds like that is where your heart is. Then it becomes about patiently waiting for the right one to pop up, which we know is the hard part.

Speaking of snakes less common, I happen to love the D'Alberts (white lipped) python as well, what are your thoughts on those Sauzo?

I know nothing of white lipped pythons. I havent kept pythons as long except for BPs when i was a kid.

Are you getting a new snake at the expo this weekend? I'm thinking about rescue.

No. I avoid reptile expos. Dont want to bring home any unwanted pets like mites. Plus from what i hear, most of the shows around here are BP and gecko fests.

red neo GTP
That way you might end up with a boy and girl and could excite things up by trying your hand at making some nice CBB GTPs yourself! Might be a fun little project 5 yrs down the line.

2nd I'd say either a BHP or peruvian BC

You know I do like my BPs on a stick. Pat is pretty awesome. I doubt i would ever breed but another GTP is high on the list as once i move Pat to his AP A10, i will have an already setup and proven cube for a new GTP.

Lol actually i was sold on one of those for a while. They are up there along with a GTP as something i wanted as a kid. Only problem is while the bite wont kill you unless you are allergic to it, it will put you out of commission for a couple weeks. I tend to like to handle my reptiles and couldnt really go 2 weeks being out of commission which is why i dont have one yet. Guy in Oregon breeds beaded lizards and he talked to me awhile ago. I was going to meet him in Oregon to pick up a hatchling but i snoozed and he sold out lol. But who knows, maybe one of those might end up in my house. I know my vet will see them as i already asked her.

You know, while i think BHPs are pretty awesome, after doing more research into them, not sure. I didnt realize they get around 10 feet for females and 9 feet for males. I figured they were about the same size as Womas. So a BHP might not be as high on the list. I do like them but i want something smaller than 9-10 feet. I personally would prefer something that stays around 6-7 feet. Caesar is the exception but he was supposed to top out around 7 feet...didnt happen but he is my buddy so i cant get rid of him. Maybe a Woma would be a better selection. Still has the stripes but unfortunately no black head.

BHP duh - yer gonna beat me to it. Just had to didn't ya. LOL

Hahaha, actually probably not. I still need to order and have the RHP shipped to AP for Pats cage. Also need to pay off Pats cage still. Also need to get the valve cover gasket and t-stat and upper and lower radiator hoses done on my car. Will probably do the valve cover gasket myself but not sure i want to mess with coolant and doing the radiator hoses and t-stat lol. Might just let the dealership mess with that. Also need a freakin lawn mower as mine died on me. Also need to get all the stuff for Pats new cage like the manzanita wood, perch holders, elevated water bowl holder, plants and all that stuff. So if i did get a BHP, it wouldnt be for a few months still. And like i said, i really didnt know they get to like 10 feet. That is kind of putting me off and i might go the smaller route with Woma or stick to my original plan of a red neo GTP, preferably a Sorong type or Jayapura type. And honestly, i should really buckle down and get a dang chest freezer as Caesar is eating big food now.

If anything, python master Ziggy will beat us both to a BHP haha.

I can't believe you haven't picked up a chest at HD yet..they are cheap enough. I've been happy with the one I got from there.

I hear ya when it comes to housing needs - I just ordered a 5th T10 for my sunglow, he's currently in a divided T10 that my Caulkers Cay is on the other side. They are both pushing 42" so I want them to be able to stretch a little as I've noticed my BCI (now around 44") seems to enjoy the stretch since moving him into a full T10 and LOVES the new water bowl that is big enough to soak in, he practically lives in the water now....Yes, my temps and humidity are on point and he doesn't have mites, just seems to enjoy a soak from time to time.

The BHP adult size is a housing concern as you'd need to get, at minimum, a T65 at $600 plus shipping, not to mention initial cost for the snake around $1600-$2000....

i just saw Richard at Reptile Rapture has a beautiful golden white lipped python available - it was in blue when I was there but still looked amazing....I may just jump on that instead - a unique addition for my collection. That would mean another T12 to match the one my carpet is in :-)

Good luck with your car - I've got some issues with my truck as well - damn priorities getting in the way of our hobby LOL

Haha yeah. I just got the timing belt done. Need to just get the t-stat and hoses done as they are getting kind of soft.

Yeah, thats the biggest thing holding me back from a BHP since i actually started researching them. I really dont want a 10 foot snake lol. With my luck, it will get to 11-12 feet haha.

I was thinking of a Woma though as they still kind of look like a BHP minus the head but still got the cool body patterns and stays around 5 feet or so.

I do like GTPs alot though haha. Pat is hilarious. When he gets hungry, he will sit on the front perch all night long every night just wiggling his tail on his body, the perch, his head, everywhere. And i sometimes like to get him going by walking a a crumpled up paper towel under him on the bottom of the cage outside. That really gets his little tail going into overdrive haha.

So honestly, I'll probably get another GTP as I'll have Pats cube vacant and already set up. I also got the extra T8 set up which i could easily just throw a Woma or Moonglow or super moonglow bci into or an SD ultra or ultra ivory.

I really think it will boil down to what find when i got cash in hand haha. I tend to be rather spontaneous with my snakes but i will search and talk to everyone and whoever approaches me with whats on my list, if its an awesome example, i say this......
