*lol* Jason,



yeah, you're right! There are some differences in scalation, especially head scalation. The southern WLPs also attain larger size (up to 2.7m) compared to the northern ones (up to 2.1m). Neonates of the southern are also larger, same in eggs. Furthermore, the southern ones are less "nervous" than the golden ones, but at the end of the day, the southern ones are hard to get hands on!



They seem to be difficult to breed, nevertheless, some people do have had success.



Cheers,

Wulf
