    Re: Bitey Woma! Maybe more feedings?

    Woma's are not as easily effected as the BHPs but, it's NEVER a good idea to feed meals.... larger than the head of said animal.

    Want to feed more and grow fast....feed SMALLER meals more often.
    They grow MUCH better that way.

    Aspidities are not ambush predators...they are active hunters that search for food daily....hence why they seem hungry all the time.
    in the wild, they eat small meals, bearded dragons, skinks, etc.....

    Thanks for chiming in Derek, i only have one pair and i got them this year so im still pretty new to womas so i apologize for the bad info on my part. At the moment im feeding mine small rats it seems to be working out quite well and seems to be the right size. Geuss you really do learn something new everyday.
    My female just shed so i figured id post the pics ( sorry not trying to thread hijack ) This is Jill my female. Shes bigger than she looks.
