New white lip girl!

[Katt]

Finally I have 1.1 white lips! Yay. Just got this girl in yesterday. Vanan bought her for me for our two year anniversary. How sweet. She's in quarantine now, but I took some shots of her right away.

She's very small and cute.

My male finally ate for me since I've had him. He ate one small weanling mouse and then today, he ate two adult mice. His name is Fox.

This is a large pic so I linked it.

White lips are my favourite python.

Wow! She is really beautiful. I love how they are "shaded" instead of patterned. So nice!

Isn't it great when you both have the same interests! People think we're crazy giving reptiles to each other for christmas, birthday etc. We are thinking of attending the Richmond show for our first anniversary! That is a great looking snake! They're one of my favorite looking as well! That's a great pic too!

[Katt]

Thanks guys.

Tim and Julie, hope to see you there! When you come down, just ask for Katt or Vanan and someone will be able to point us out. That is anyone with a WSPCR t-shirt that is.

Congratulations on both your anniversary and your beautiful new female WLP.
They certainly are beautiful animals. I wish you the best of luck with them.

Now you can breed them, one they become of age.

Congrats on the new white lip - one of the most gorgeous pythons in my opinion. She is lovely and great shot of the male as well. Hope they do well for you and you don't get nailed too often. They seem to be able to strike faster than anything!

Burmies, breeding them is something that's far off into the future. They still need to be acclimated and need to be grown up, they are both around 3 feet or less. Females can take 4 - 9 yrs to mature!! I hope to tame these two down and be able to handle them like pets.

grrrr no fair! I want a white-lipped python :(. I've been looking for blacks all over... so hard to find!

[Clownfishie]

She's lovely Katt, congrats on the new addition :)

[Tim and Julie B]

Hi Katt I'll find you! I've already met Vanan. I think I've met you too! At the Richmond show last year we had a table in the opposite corner from yours.:D :D :D

[Katt]

Hey Tim! I don't think you would have seen me as I was at the Daytona show during the Richmond show last year.

Perhaps we'll meet at the June show!

[Just Me]

Congrats! SHe's really nice.

[ballpython5000]

that is one hell of a nice python, congrats

[Bryce Masuk]

Who did you get it from? I have looked locally and had no success....

[PoiSoNouS]

Woah, shes a beauty ! congrats ! :)

[Jezabel]

Nice white-lipped! How big and how old is your pair?

Bryce Masuk : look at Wrapped up in reptiles (http://www.wrappedupinreptiles.homestead.com/index2.html) They have some awesome cb wlp.

[Katt]

My pair are just yougin's got a ways to go.

Unfortunately the female is having a lousy shed, still in quaratine too.

[Bryce Masuk]

do a search on google there are quite a few site on them but they have nasty temperments they need high humidity and are prone to skin problems so they are no starter snake they have a insane irrandenance and are know as the fastest striking python in the world they can grow to be 10 feet long and are fairly slender

[Jezabel]

When you get them young, they can tame qui easely with proper handling. My pair is quite calm. Also, the black phase can grow up to 9 feet max but the golden phase stay smaller, between 6-7ft, maybe 8 for exeptionnaly large specimen. Here's a good website for them: http://www.leiopython.de/en/index_en.html

[Katt]

Ten feet!? hahahaha, not really. The goldens like mine are stay much smaller than that.

My white lips are irridescent, but I wouldn't say insane irridescent. The water pythons have far more irridescence on them. The scales of WLP's are very small and fine, which give them extremely soft skin, but a lot of irridescence.

Also, please do not perpetuate the myth that white lips are nasty, Bryce. My previous female, even as a fresh WC was friendly, and this pair can be picked up and handled carefully. My water pythons are far worse, and there are a great many tame WLP's out there. They deserve better. They are my favourite python by far.

As for striking, yes, they are extremely fast, b/c they give you no clue that they are going to bite and can strike from any position it seems. They have a lot of teeth too! I've been nipped on the lip without a spot of blood, but the little female has made me bleed quite a bit.

Hey Bryce does your sig refer to Occam's Razor?

[fr0glet]

Hopefully I'll be at the Richmond show too, working at the PNHS booth :)

[Jezabel]

My best pics that show irridescent, really depends on the light...

[Bryce Masuk]

This is what i truely ment the blacks can grow to 10 feet i think there insanely irridescent compared to most snakes and from what i understand they generally are nasty I think with frequent handling Nearly any snake will tame somewhat I have heard they also have the most teeth but I dont know about that

[Katt]

Sorry, I meant to say not a lot of irridescence.

I guess I look at my water pythons too much, because those snakes are highly irrirdescent and I find the white lips while having nice colours are not nearly as much so.
