    Woma or Black Headed?
    I am trying to decide whether to get a Woma Python or a Black Headed Python. Any advice?

    Also, I read somewhere that they need some UV. Is that true?

    Thanks

    I have read this as well, but I know several people who breed both Womas and Black Heads with NO UV

    I would love either of them. But i think i would go with a black head. If you havent looked into it that much, black heads are about 4-5 times as much as womas. Your looking in the 1200 dollar range for a black head. Im not sure about the whole UV thing. Ive never heard that they need the UV, but ive never kept either so i couldnt tell you for sure.

    I saw a female black head at a pet store and it was hyooooge! Something to consider if size is an issue...

    yeah, I'll probably go for a male for that reason.

    I like the look of the black heads, but I am pretty interested in the tail wagging behavior of the woma. I don't know if the black head does that or not. Anyone know?

    I just got a woma, she is awesome. Super docile so far, and I love the mustard coloured head and beautiful patterns. The black head just looks meaner to me lol! Plus they get alot bigger.

    I'd go for a blackhead but that's just me.

    Matt J over at www.monkeyfrog.com could probably answer some questions for you..
