no snake is easily tamed. Infact ball pythons aren't tame at all. They put up with handling. If they could they would be far away from you, not having you reach in and pick it up and carry it around for awhile. They don't like people! Just some put up with it more then others.

Womas feed like pigs. Fast growers and VERY Gentle. Only drawback is $700 per baby. I own a CB 2003 and he has tripled his gram weight in just 4 weeks. Eats every 2 days. Can't feed him enough. They are the most laid back snake I have ever seen and VERY PRETTY too.

Hi Warren,
It sounds like your woma is doing well. My little guys have taken off as well! I can't feed them enough and they just keep growing in front of your eyes!

Keep up the good work!

Here is a picture of the adults that produced your little guy. Sorry about the quality of the photo. I need to take some new ones.

Keep up the good work!

Going Fantastic!!! Those Womas are great snakes. I'm surprised you have any babies left. Thought they would be all sold by now. They will eat you out of house and home if you don't watch out HaHaHa. Thanks for the pic of the parents. Mine is turning lighter with each shed. How is the little runt doing? Probably bigger than all of them. Keep me posted if you get a female baby on your next clutch. I'm not a breeder but would love to try these guys. Thanks again for selling one to me. The quality is AWESOME. Talk to you later !!!
Sincerely,
Warren

Warren,
That is great to hear. I actually traded on male away and decided to keep two males back. The runt is doing great. Still considerably smaller but feeding really well! The largest on is eating rat pinks with no problems! I should hopefully do better next year as I have two females going!

Best of luck!

Savu's!!!!!!!! I have two and I love them both. They can be nippy as babies but as adults they are calm and wonderful. Just don't let them go around your neck, they are really strong
