>How big is your woma right now?
Almost 4'

>Mine is only about two years old, but he's only been fed F/T, so he's never constricted anything. Just checks it out to find the head and starts swallowing...but he doesn't waste ANY time doing that.

Mine starts eating the same way, but as he eats he moves the rat into a position that allows him to curl around it. He doesn't really constrict it though.

He is a really awesome snake, so inquisitive and alert, but without being jumpy.

>Don't read to much into it - womas are funny creatures and sometimes do things for no rhyme or reason...

Yeah I guess I'll never know for sure. The funniest part was how he wrapped around my hand, squeezed the bejesus out of it, and just stared up at me... Very odd. I had him out yesterday and he was back to being a noodle. Doesn't bother to even anchor himself to my arm.
