My two cents. We have a male 3 years old who will rise up like a cobra at seeing any movement anywhere and strike violently. he can be taken out with ahook but he is spastic. I did a ton of research about this behavior since we had not seen it in any womas before and having spoken to a hundred breeders what I could find is what most called "crazed womas." Many said that one in every so many they had was totally agressive/defensive with no explanation and never got better. Ours is this way. It is not a feeding hit, those are prtty obvious, this is a fear hit, and seemingly there is no cure. As for breeding he breeds fine, he may hate people but he loves his girls. The best you can do with any snake like this is keep working with them hoping they will settle or give up and have a viewing/breeding specimen vs. a handling one. We try the former even with our guy we call Oscar the Grouch.



Womas are pit bull feeders no doubt but this behavior is not about food in our case, and sounds like not in your case either.
