Exporting Womas...

lateralis Jun 06, 2005 10:19 AM

I have heard that Europe has a ban on importing Woma pythons, has anyone heard this? Or is it just a pain in the A$$ to do and not worth it?

Brett,
It's not Europe it's the U.S. I've been told by F&W, you have to aquire paperwork showing legal importation of the founding animals. Good luck tracing back to a certain zoo and then getting them to send you a copy of the paperwork. I know a few people who exported them in the past but have since stopped because F&W have made it more difficult. Someone in Europe has pics of the womas in their collection on their website. They claim one of them was produced by me, I have no idea how they got it though.

Hey Eric,
I thought thats what it was, I couldnt remember who the "culprit" was, of course the EU wouldnt do something as dumb. How was your year, did you get some beans?

Cheers
Brett

I'll hatch out a few womas this year, but not nearly as many as I should of. The womas kind of got neglected this breeding season, I was really focused on the Balls. Plus they've bred the past few years so it can't hurt to let em rest.

Yeah, Ive been focusing on other stuff too but I also planned on giving my girls the year off anyways, looks like there were a fair amount produced this year by other folks though.
I need to get hold of some new blood so I will be scanning the ads this year...
Have you gotten outside at all? Ive been out east by the park a few times, found some nice stuff out by Mecca.

Cheers
Brett

I have not been out at all this year. It's nice and hot now so everything should be pretty active. I'm just swamped right now trying to get everything set up for hatchlings.
