I just got a 1.1 pair and have been tagged by the male on more than one occasion while handling. Anyone else encounter this with theirs? They are both feeding, I keep them in seperate cages.......

My female woma has bit the hell out of me several times. I actually have a snake hook coming in the mail because of this. I hear that they may simmer down when they get older but who knows. This and this alone maybe one reason why they may not become TOO popular.

My Womas are nearly the most docile snakes in my extensive collection. They are actually one of only about 3-4 specie of Python I can safely (with out fear of being bitten) remove from an enclosure without a snake hook. I always reccomend the use of a snake hook on ALL snakes untill you have an opportunity to figure out their personalities. Maybe try a different method of feeding (like feeding in a seperate enclosure than the one they are housed in) or method of removing them for handeling. Good luck!
