>Since there really isnt anything book wise on these guys (yep, I read books, I am old).



Well, years back I wanted to wright a book about wlps, but they told me there's no market



WLPs have some special features:

- they cast furballs about a week after feeding. If you are able to observe this, you may think your python is dying.



-they sometimes even sleep with their head up-side-down but otherwise coiled tightly



- they (rarely) show something I had called "Gastrointestinal ventilation". Check this out: http://leiopython.de/en/infos/HerpRev_40_2_231_Leiopython.pdf



and a couple of other things... But Tom has stated the basics already.



Cheers,

Wulf
