Woma Price

I've just looking around at woma stuff and I begun wondering why there price hasn't gone done much. They seem to have large clutches. Is there something special about them or is it just a matter of time.

If I understand things correctly, Australia shut down all exporting of their animals (or maybe just snakes? Not sure.) Anyhow, Australian snakes are expensive because there is no constant source of wild-caught animals like there are with most other species. They may have relatively large clutches, but if there were few breeding animals to begin with, it will take a LONG time to build up enough breeders so that there are enough babies to meet the demand and bring the prices down.


And anytime the prices drop a bit...demand goes up, and babies get snatched up even faster......

i have seen males for $300 or so - that's not bad. compare that to a blackheaded python!

$300? Wow.. cheapest I've seen is $450.

Still, compare to an inexpensive BP morph, and these guys aren't bad at all! Wonderful snakes.

Cheapest I've seen is 400$, but like shelby said compared to a bp morph that arn't bad. If they make another drop in price I think their popularity may explode.

it was at a herp show, their last male. ben siegel was selling one for like $350 over the winter as well... priced to sell i guess, definitely not typical.

it's like gasoline... they price it high because they can!

Wow well if I see a $350 woma at the NARBC show, you know what'll happen. lol Womas have been on my want list for a long time.

Oohh yeah...stripey is right up there with shiny as "good things". =D

*edit*
Fyi, these folks say they are expecting their 06 womas to be available in May. Doesn't list prices, but just an fyi. =)

And Cassandra.. Womas have ORANGE!

Pictures I'm drooling over today:

black head from a California breeder (who's sold out!)

albino coastal rosy boa posted on kingsnake

Oh yeah, that first pic has been on my computer for a long time. Baby black heads have so much contrast.

Barry's womas aren't cheap, but they're definitely some of the best you'll find anywhere. My female from him just shed today - I'll get some pics.

Oh good to know, Kara! I had them bookmarked for their BCCs but noticed they also had womas and black heads...=)

Yeah they have some of the nicest surinams I've seen anywhere. I'm interested to see your woma, Kara.

OK!!! Off to take a pic.

In the mean time, here's Addelaide - my 8' female BHP.

Ok, just to clarify. BHP's act like kingsnakes on steroids...kingsnakes act like cornsnakes on CRACK!!!!

Yes, ok I agree with that. haha..

She is very beautiful! I love the woma eye-shadow.

Have you found it to be true that they normally have a very docile temperament?

Mine are absolute doll-babies...once you get past the feeding response! And they will try to eat you until you turn them off. :D
