As someone with several womas, I do not recommend them for people new to the hobby. I love em to death, but young ones tend to be very food smell oriented and excitable, which leads to lots of "ooohhh, can I eat That"? They can also be fairly quick, which can be disconcerting to people used to the slower pace of BPs. Not to say they don't tame down with good handling, just that they are prone to being 6ft derpers.
Just my .02
