    They have insane feed response their whole lives! I argue there the best snake to start with in the medium range because they're hard to not feed

    I'm considering the addition of a woma to my collection so reading all of the threads about them and getting some great information. Thank you enginee837 for your input as well.

    Should womas should be housed in a separate area of the house if I have other snakes in my collection?

    My balls and womas are all in the same room. In fact I have 3 sub 400g balls in the same hatchling rack as a couple month old woma.

    Re: I am making no progress taming/training woma python.

    My woma is in half of a T8 with a sand boa "next door" in a stack with other snakes. It doesn't seem to bother him, but on colubrid/boa feeding day he's usually at the door hoping for food. My guess is that they get used to general other-snake smell in the air, but the strong recent smell of another snake that's on the part of thing handling them gets their attention. I'm careful about cleaning my hands/arms before handling my boy, but he doesn't seem to care if, say, the shoulders of my shirt smell like the BP that was cruising around there a few minutes ago.

    Just to add, my woma is still a youngster, he'll be needing to move up to a whole T8 or a T10 soonish.
