Tanami the Woma Python

[Prognathodon]

I got a Woma! I got a Woma!

We went to Reptile Rapture (Monona, WI, Madison suburb) yesterday to pick up a hoggie for my husband (she gets a thread next), and I failed to resist the baby Woma they had. Male, born April 23rd of this year, Reptile Rapture bred him. Didn't bring the scale to the bedroom (where he and Dizzy the Hoggie are in quarantine) up to weigh him yet.

What a sweetheart! No aggression at all so far, even when the dog wanted to inspect him this morning. And those eye spots just make me squee. Named him Tanami, after the Tanami desert in Australia, where some strains of Womas come from (don't know if he is a Tanami Woma).

Tanami was hard to get pictures of last night, he was busy exploring. He didn't seem to get using hides, so my husband put him in one this morning. He didn't stay in it, but by the time I left he'd buried himself in the substrate, with just his head sticking out.



I made a nice discovery last night, if you put a phone down flat on a screen top, the screen disappears when it focuses on what's down on the floor of the cage - these pictures were all taken that way.
