Woma question

The males are not like ball pythons. I usually wait until three years of age to breed them.

Thanks RobNJ! They are weird looking!

No, I definitely would not call them shy! :)

Do you recommend housing them in tubs or tanks? Where is a good site to learn more about caring for womas? And possible woma morphs? I've been trying to find a site similar to worldofballpythons.com for womas but I haven't had much luck.

And I assume they must be house separately like ball pythons?

Who sells woma pythons? I can barely find breeders, even with google's help. So far, I see that LLL Reptiles and Backwater Reptiles sells them. And where do I get more info on "morphs" if that's what they're called? I've seen a very nice solid black woma with orange head and I'm assuming that's a morph?

Justin at australianaddictions sometimes works with them. Bhb works with them

Derek Roddy and Jon Floyd have great Woma's! Craig Tillem also has some nice reduced pattern Womas called sunburst Woma's.

In fact heres one I photographed a few weeks ago of a 2011 baby from Derek Roddy.

Woma pythons can be kept in tanks, though as adults they would require a rather large floor area in the tank. I would also guard against extremely low humidty conditions inside the tanks if the owner lives in dry cold winter areas. Humidity is best at about 40-50 percent. I keep mine in ARS 8018 racks. CB70 tubs are just too small in my opinion, especially for adult females.

No proven morphs yet, as far as I know. With a bit more time, some of the oddballs, such as the black woma you mentioned, and reduced pattern specimens like what I hatched last year and others have hatched, will be proven or disproven.

Yes, I house them seperately.


I have a small mismash of woma photos here:
