? for woma(ramsayi) owners.......

i have always really liked the looks of womas(real ones not morphs) and have been contemplating getting one recently.
my question is about size....how large is a good sized woma python female compared to a say 2500 gram female ball. in pics they are not as fat around but length is hard to tell.
if anyone has both and would be willing to post a pic of the 2 together that would be spectacular.
any other insight would be appreciative.
thanks

balls average 4 foot or so...
womas get 6 foot I think....they aren't fat like you mentioned...but get alot longer...
they don't fit into a ball rack....

Womas are more shaped like colubrids. My womas are easily comparable to giant brooks kingsnakes. They are also much more active than balls. Ill do a photo comparison side by side tomorrow for you.

i always thought womas were more like ringed pythons in size. i never realized they were a smaller species of python. im stoked now. cant wait to find one once i get my 41qt rack finished.
