Woma or Black Headed?

I would go for the Woma just cause their bad a$$ and get decent size on them.

The UV thing i think is optional as some breeders dont use them as they keep them in tubs, UV cant hurt any snake during the day but its sometimes a waste of money.


On a side note seen some baby Womas on fauna for 300 each if thats something your looking at.

I prefer the look for black heads to womas. But I do prefer the look of ringed pythons to black heads....ha, go with what you like the best!

You're comparing apples to oranges.

A blackheaded python will require cage and the initial cost of the animal is at least 5x that of a woma.

Blackheads are a larger, girthier snake. If price is no object and you can afford a 6' cage down the road plus the larger food bill, by all means choose the BHP.

If cost is an issue, if space is an issue and if you want a snake with a more manageable size, go with the woma.

Like I said when you popped this question on another forum - I have never seen one of my BHPs caudal lure. Let me add here that not all womas do it.

As for UV light - it's not needed and if provided, not all UV bulbs are suitable for snakes.

I appreciate all the feedback!
I think I'm not up for a 6 foot cage, so I'm leaning toward the Woma.
Too bad about the caudal luring - I sure would love to see that sometime!

I love the look of the Blackheaded, but the size is probably too much for me.

I would go for the Woma. better priced, better size....cool snake. Hope to get one in the future.
