    Woma Black Head Hybrid?
    Has anyone created a woma black head hybrid? I'm curious to know what it would look like or if it's even possible.

    I imagine it would look nearly the same, perhaps bigger, considering they look so much alike.

    I would hope that it never actually happens in captivity, since the black heads are so few and far between (from my wanderings anyways) that people would keep them separate.

    I believe I read somewhere that there are actually 3 different localities of womas that differ enough to mandate no crossing even at that level?

    I could be completely wrong about that last part. :oops:

    I doubt it.

    There are way too few people breeding blackheaded pythons. Some have trouble with breeding blackhead to blackhead, so I don't know why someone would want to attempt it.

    considering the difficulty associated with breeding these species, then hatching the eggs, to begin with - i doubt this would happen. if it did then i think they'd look like a really ugly woma.

    There are actually more than 3 localities of womas but here in the States, we don't have access to pure locality womas.

    I am sure at some point someone will try to produce the intergrade but not in the near future.

    Yeah. I imagine they would look nearly the same too, just with a different head than either of them have.

    Have any woma crosses been made?

    Yes. The wall; a ball x woma cross.

    - Tanami

    - Uluru

    - Boodarie

    - Rockhampton Downs

    - Tennant Creek

    - etc.

    However, many of these locales are areas within other localities - for example, Tennant Creek is in the Tanami desert.
