    Woma python vs Rosy boa

    It's me again... sorry.

    I've narrowed my choices down as to what snake I'm going to get next. Now I just need to decide between a Woma python and a Rosy boa.

    From what I've read, both are supposed to be docile and handleable (obviously each snake has its own personality, but speaking in generalities...) and both are attractive. Both seem pretty easy to care for, too...

    Votes? Experiences? Advice?

    I had totally decided on a Rosy boa and then I saw a Woma and they are beautiful! Such a hard decision...

    That is a tough choice! I like both snakes. The rosy's have some really cool morphs but I'd probably go with the woma.

    Re: Woma python vs Rosy boa

    Everyone I know with a woma has a biter. Not like a strike and bite, but a "nudge, nudge hey what's this taste like?" bite. I'm not sure that it's all womas but I've heard it happens often enough and watch out for the nudges.
    They seem to just nonchalantly bite and it's kinda funny.

    I would go for a woma personally as they are on my bucket list, there is quite a bit of a size difference between a woma and a rosy, so housing will be different.

    Womas are amazing snakes. They aren't aggressive bitey, they've just got an "everything must be food!" mentality, and it's actually very amusing. They are pretty docile and curious though. Rosy boas are cool too, but I don't know a ton about them.
