Hi folks,
I am thinking of getting a group of woma's and would like to here from anyone with experiance with these animals.Are they an easy speices to keep and breed,what are there special requirments,or does anyone have any sites that may be of use.

Thanks in advance,
John

i have a pair that i aquired about a year ago that are doing great! they are my pride and joy. I care for them simply by offering them a warm end of about 85 to 90 and a cool side of about 70 to 75. they seem to do well and love to burrow under the substrate. they grow rapidly. i have had mine since they were about 16 inces and now the female is about 3.25 feet long in one year! i highly recomend this species because of thier good personality. i have only been bit once by them and it was my fault. i have also heard that they are very easy to breed in captivity, but ill test that theroy on my own. hope this helps aid you in your decision.

Steve,
Thanks for confirming what i thought. I think i will be the proud owner of a trio in the very near future.Good luck with the breeding.

Hi John,
Womas are great animals! They are easy to keep since they are great feeders and clean animals! They have no real special requirements. I keep my animals with a gradient of mid 90's on the warm end and low 80's on the cool end. I use upside down plastic flower pots with a hole cut into the top for a hide box. My womas always seem to be hungry especially the younger ones.

Good luck with them and let me know if you have any questions.
