White lipped pythons are stunning! I hope to own one one day.
WLPs are honestly adorable
So happy about this spotlight, WLPs are fantastic!
My albertisii yearling was FIERCE when I got him (he came from a breeder), earning him the name "A Thousand Needles". He's calmed down quite a bit since then, still being highly reactive but seems to be considering the situation more (which makes him a lot less nippy). I actually really like how allert he is, he's taking note of everything that's going on. To not have him stress out he's in a quiet spot, half of his enclosure covered by a cloth to make him feel more secure with lots of places to hide. Every so often I take him out to get used to being handled and he's doing well with that.
It's a joy to have him around and he's simply gorgeous.
I have a female northern I've had about 3 years now. She's not so bad, the biggest key is mutual respect goes a long way.
I've had a Northern, and currently have a Southern. In my experience, they are very intelligent, but need to feel secure. When I first got my Southern, he was a bit of a handful, and I got tagged multiple times. They also don't really telegraph their intentions much, so it's more difficult to read their body language. That being said, I worked with him everyday for about 3 weeks, getting him out (hated the hook) and just spending a little time with him, so he understood I was no threat. In that period of time, I was tagged several times, but he got noticeably calmer after 2 weeks. He stopped hiding behind his hide. He started sleeping in the clutter, not wedged behind something. He stopped trying to squeeze my arm to death. After 3 weeks, He was calm, not spooked by motion, hung relaxed on my arm, and stopped biting. I think they key with them, is to show them that you are safe and not a threat. Once they realize that, they are easy to handle and are really fun to have out. That also means not getting upset if you get bitten. I have a hypothesis on that, but that is a story for another time.
How much should i expect to pay for one of these?
@@NumbDiggerlmao Northern White Lipped pythons are much less expensive and available. $500-$1000. Southerns are like $2000-$3000. Prices are US, I don't know about Europe or other areas.
I am SOO glad i found you! Wicked video! I love how you go in depth with some scientific facts aswell. Hello from Australia!
Thank you!
well done man ,,, it was well enjoyed ,,,, luv the reptile works ,, keep rollin;
As always Great Content!
your friend keeps beautiful snakes. and well kept. probably be a cool vid to meet her and see her species if she was down for it.
She’s fairly camera shy but it will probably happen eventually
Absolutely gorgeous pythons
Agreed!
Gorgeous animal
I live in Indonesia, and i’m shock when i know that this beautiful snake came from my country. On the plus side this snake is sold for $10-$40 but they aren’t sold in reptile stores bcs how common and cheap they are.
Crazy
Awesome video and beautiful animals. Only thing I would argue is the statement and recommendations for them being semi-arboreal and needing vertical enclosures. According to the literature these snake would better be described as semi aquatic, and based on captive observations the young snakes show a real affinity for burrowing and hiding under and in cramped spaces almost to the point where you could call them semi-fossorial. Im not saying that they aren’t extremely athletic and great climbers i’m just saying the semi arboreal descriptor is a little off, aquatic and fossorial is probably better and would do better to help people looking to get these.
I based it off of what several people have told me who have kept them successfully including breeding. I could be wrong, especially seeing as I don’t keep them but the consensus from the ones who do was they like to perch as adults and hide as babies.
Also, thanks for the good info
@@JzsReptiles im just being a nit picker. It just rubs me the wrong way because in the wild these snakes aren’t called arboreal at all but are said to be found actually in water hunting.
@@lisafarinha7957 fair
Bruh how my man not at 5 mil yet?
Not at 5k yet. But it’s good to know that there is a small but great community here
Gran boa
I have a White Lipped Python shes around 5 long shes very friendly I hope she get to at least 7 feet. Im not really into owning ball pythons or colubrids, nothing towards them this is just my personal opinion.
Liked and followed ! Not much out there on these
Pretty sure the taxonomy is now bothrochilus meridionalis for the southern and bothrochilus Albertisi for the northerns .. I have a southern currently and have owned northerns before
Taxonomy frequently gets me yelled at and you’re probably right. I’m not as familiar with these and so when I’m not I will go to people who keep them and read as many articles and papers as I can. I couldn’t find a “most recent date” for that so I went with the older but also consistent name. Got to love google scholar and checking Wikipedia citations
@@JzsReptiles haha I know it’s stupid how much they have changed ! Great video tho!
@@chooton5113 thanks!
Does anyone know why this guy wears the same hat in every video and has done for the last 2 years?
Presentation!
