Woma question

Are they less aggressive? How popular are they? Who owns one? I might get one instead of a bp!

Entirely different beast than a BP - They can be super "tame" or they can be super agressive. It's entirely up to how you care for them, and how much you handle. If you handle them seldomly they will be greatly more agressive. Handle more frequently, they are super nice. I bought an adult that was never handled other than for cage cleaning. She didn't always lash out at me, but she definitely had a bad attitude. She'd hiss and huff and puff, and when you'd hold her she'd wrap so tight your hand / arm would turn blue then just lean over and latch on :-). Still . . . entirelly different snake to work with. They get bigger, not much bigger, but definitely bigger. Female Womas consistantly get to 6ft. They need a dryer environment, and tend to enjoy a little more space as they tend to be arboreal. Anything specific you want to know other wise than this?

No worries - I'd def suggest them though. . . just make sure they get handled reguarly, and if you want to house them in a tub - needs to be at least a CB70, and if you wnat to do a PVC Style enclosure, just give them some extra heighth :-). My adult girl pounds jumbo rats every 10-18 days.

Wow! Do you have pics of your enclosure?

Somewhere, not too special though mine stays in her CB-70 just fine :-) The breeder she came from suggested it as that's what she was in there. However, in due time she'll move into a 4x2x2 when I do the next rearranging process with my retics to their 71x30x24 enclosures

I've bred woma pythons for years. They are fantastic. They are under rated and definitely a cadillac species, in my opinion. They thrive on frozen thawed rats and make a great first snake.

While babies can be bluffy, I have a large collection of them and every single one of them has grown into calm, regal animals as adults. I think their feed response ( ie trying to mouth everything or wrapping with their body while trying to mouth) is often misinterpreted as aggression.

They are a ground dwelling species, one of their nicknames is 'sand python', though studies show that they will climb trees to eat sleeping lizards at night. I keep mine in ARS 8018 racks; CB 70 is definitely too small for an adult.

Hey check out this unusual clutch I hatched last spring:

I love my woma! I've only had him a few weeks...other than feeding response, this is by far the most docile snake I own, even in comparison to my bp's. He's very curious too, and with handling will slowly explore everything.

Desert, those reduced pattern womas are HOT!

Are they very shy snakes? I've got some empty tank syndrome happening, and while I have ideas for 2 of the 80+ gal tanks we recieved, the third one has had me stumped
