What’s your take on keeping white lipped pythons? (Mostly northerns but I’ve heard of southerns starting to be captive bred?) Have you worked with any before? I’ve done some research for myself since it’s one of my dream snakes but I wanted to hear what other people think about them ^^ love your blog by the way, hope you’re having a lovely day/evening!

They're super cool, but I've never been lucky enough to work with any before. I've only even seen them in person a handful of times. My take on keeping them now is that they mostly belong with advanced keepers who want to take a shot at breeding them, because most of them right now are wild-caught and breeding projects haven't really taken off yet.

Beyond the difficulty of finding a captive-bred baby (as it stands right now, if you want a white-lipped python, you will be getting a wild-caught snake 99 times out of 100), they'd make pretty solid pets. They tend to be great eaters and they're not very fragile. I'd put them solidly as an intermediate-level snake - they get to be big (7 feet is average for northerns, and southerns get a bit bigger at around 8-9 feet), and they're semi-arboreal so they need a large, tall enclosure. Their care isn't super intense, they like it hot with humidity at least 60%. They'd probably be a popular intermediate snake if they were easier to breed!

White-lipped pythons are super awesome, but until we start regularly seeing captive-bred babies, I think they belong in the wild and with keepers who can put in the work to establish captive breeding populations! That's my take for most snakes that aren't regularly bred in captivity.

Zuzu is such a baby.
