I have recently returned to the hobby after a year away, having kept and bred snakes for the best part of 30 years.
My first snakes on my return is a pair of hatchling womas.
So far I have found them really easy. The male is very aggressive, rearing up in a defensive posture and striking as soon as he is disturbed, yet the female is chilled out and happy to be handled. Interestingly, the breeder I got mine from said that the father was aggressive and needs a hook to be safely moved while the mum is laid back. I also found a YouTube video which reflected the same behavioural differences.
As for reading, look for care guides from Australia, they seemed far more informative.
