New project starting - WLP * pics *

[wyz]

New guy in the house.

It's our first ever WLP.

Pretty mean boy, but doesn't take away from it' s beauty.

I finally decided to put on gloves :( but I hope to take them off really soon. I think we really need to get to know each other a little better. :)

** looking for a female now **

Dont mean to sound like im having a go, but those gloves really aint gonna protect you if he lashes out. Just makes it feel better in your head though dont it. I sometimes put on gloves when im picking up my rat snake, cos he is a bit feisty, but then i sit and think, well they aint gonna help much if he does bite me anyway. Sorry im rambling. Im going now!!

Nice snake! It's good to see that white lips are getting a little more popular.

I can't wait till my two boys are big enough to breed to my big girl.

BTW, the odd time that I have used gloves for my big female, she didn't really try to bite my hands.

Congrats on the new addition to the addiction :)

[wyz]

How big are your guys ?

And how big do they need to be to be ready ?

We have one at the place i work at, in fact it's a gold phase like yours, a male and he's the same size... I just dont think its the same cause ours never showed any hostiles signs to me...

My two males are around the 3- 3 1/2' mark.


as for how big they must be to breed, I have to find an answer to that myself.

[BoidKeeper]

Do they ever calm down or are they always nasty?
I like them but I have no interest in snakes that are always nasty, ATBs and GTPs not withstanding.
Cheers,
Trevor

Justin,

a recent thread by Stav talked about snakes size for breeding.

One good thing I remember about that subject is that even a young male can breed. If i were you I'd try them out. Especialy that you have in hand a big female, you really don't have anything to lose.

good point. I guess it cannot hurt! from what i've just read, males should be about 4' to breed.. time to take out the tape measure!

I gotta get in contact with that german guy who breeds them and ask him all about it! www.leiopython.de has some good links


EDIT: my one "friendly" guy clears the 4' mark! WOO HOO!

I didnt know u werent a guy, lol. I usually think most herpers are guys just a habit because most gurls dont like snakes :(. How old is he? He has such a small head, whats he eating

[Ptindy]

This should be interesting.

[Syco]

yep, I'm just waiting to see how this one goes. ;)

Who is not a guy ?

[justinO]

it's simple, 2 people post under this user name, Justin & Jessy.

When Justin posts, he doesn't sign his name, when Jessy posts (usually only under feeder & ball python forums), she posts her name like so.....

Jessy


this user has infested all the forums eh? yay.


Jessy.
(the chick)




EDIT: Btw, the WLP that I posted a pic of is eating appropriatly sized rats, and is over 4' long. I don't really think of rats in the "small, medium, large" categories anymore since we breed them.. i just pull out one that i think is a good size and give it a whack.
