i was just wondering what a good price for a childrens python was?? i live in Canada i already have his setup i just want to know a good price cause getting ripped off sucks!!

Thanks

oh and are womas docile or aggressive??
(just wondering)

In Canada you can pay $150.00 to $225.00 for baby childrens. Spotteds go for $80.00 - $150.00 each.

It's not so bad now, but a few years ago there were lots of people still calling their spotted pythons childrens. You still may come across some breeders and pet stores that label their spotteds as childrens. Make sure you know what you are getting.

is there a difference in the temperments of children and spotted?? if so what.

i think imma get the spotted because of the eye's i found some for $160

also do spotted go long periods without eating like ball pythons??
In your opinion wich is the better snake to own as a pet??
Thanks

I have owned both children's and spotteds. They both tend to have nice personalities and neither has a tendency to go off food. The only difference I've found is that hatchling spotteds are easier to start feeding.

Good luck

My womas are very docile, although at times they do have an extremely aggresive feeding response. If they catch a scent of food they will strike at anything that moves. All in all they are excellent captives and make great pets, unless you smell like a rat.

what is a good price for a woma in canada??
they are very nice looking snakes and would like to add one to my collection sometime soon
thanks
