I'm a rat snake guy that picked up a white lip for my 16 year old daughter. I know, probably could have chosen a calmer snake but she was raised with them and was warned that it may be a handful. Steffi didn't care, thought it was beautiful and wanted it. It was the size of an average corn a year ago when it came home, well she's doubled in size and girth since then and has indeed proven to be a handful. She's been easy to feed being voracious if not a little psychotic and unnerving at times. A definite step up in aggression from the rat snakes I'm used to.
If her vision cage is open at feeding time and I don't serve her fast enough she comes out after me or the rat. (sm-md size rat)
I've got to wonder now, how big will this get? I origionally heard 6-7' but she's growning fast.
Anyone got a photo of what would be considered a big White Lip?
Maybe with you holding it for scale? (sorry not trying to get you tagged by it)
Mike.
