I can't comment for your side of the pond mate, but on the rare occasions hatchlings come up over here, they cost between 150 and 200
Adults, depending on sex, size and quality can go for anywhere between 150 and 350
However I have been offered 900 for my biggest female before...as if!! I would sell my car before I sold her!!!

Now I see most of your info is about the adult care, is there anything special that you would have to do differently for a hatchling or yearling? Or is it the same care throughout their lives?

thanks mate
the only thing I would say with hatchlings in terms of husbandry would be to provide higher humidity for them. Their skins are so thin they need this to shed correctly.
I kept my hatchlings in RUB's on orchid bark and spagnum...so long as you get the correct convection and airflow through the RUB by drilling the airholes in the right place, you can achieve quite a muggy environment...as opposed to these RUB's I see that are full of nasty condensation and stale air
My other note would be to be vary wary of hatchling wlp's...they are incredibly fast and I've seen them launch themselves out from under substrate and straight over your shoulder before!!!
A hook is always a must with these guys when they are young...they can be bitey and they like to bury themselves in moss so you don't wanna go rummaging around with your fingers to find them

Re: The wonderful world of Whitelipped pythons
Gorgeous white-lippeds! I used to own a pair, and I really regret parting with them. They were nippy buggers, but man they were beautiful animals. I always kind of wondered what a hybrid between them and a woma python would look like....

Hmmm not sure about that one...one of my favorite things about a wlp is their true python head shape...I can't help but wonder that a woma hybrid would ruin this slightly
I did attempt a pairing with a diamond python...she did lay but the eggs weren't viable
I can only imagine what the hatchlings would have looked like!!!

Re: The wonderful world of Whitelipped pythons
Wow that is a beautiful snake! Very iridescent, I like how the markings on its mouth look like skeleton teeth. Also I like your hanging plant basket turned hide, I did that with a plastic one but yours looks nicer.
