Since We're on the Woma Kick, Please Describe Behavior

jrphd Mar 10, 2005 03:18 PM

I've seen many Womas at the big shows, but never interacted with any. At one point I had heard that they have very trustworthy dispositions, but this was countered more recently with some people saying some can be snappy, particularly as neonates. I have interacted with a a black head, who was quite wirey and hissed but didn't bite. It was kind of like a cross between a carpet and a savu in terms of it's tendency to be on the move as opposed to a BCI or ball. Any thoughts would be great.

Some will strike as babies but it's generally a bluff. For me they are like big kingsnakes & as such I've seen some quirky kingsnakes. The same goes with Womas. I have seen the evil odd one & have seen him strike nearly twice his body length. By & large they are fantastic animals, just watch out when they are hungery. All-in-all they are my favorite python species next to the Blackheads.
