The first thing I can say about these guys is if you are scared to be bit either you dont need them, or you will soon get over your fear. I have had many whitelips from small babies to very large adults. I love em but they can be nippy. My best advice would be to get a cbb individual or pair, let them get settled in and then start the handeling period. I know you already know this but dont work with these animals at feeding times and at night due to these guys being nocturnal.

When I kept them I set them up subtropical with mild humidity, at about 87-90 degrees during the day and low to mid 70's at night. Also keep in mind they do get moderatley sized at 7-8 feet and some mostly blacks can get a little bigger, and If you breed these guys be ready for little 16inch fireballs.

With a little TLC for your future endeavor you will be fine, I hope this helps.
