Anyone have a woma/ramsay python?

[reptiledude987]

These are a snake I've always liked and wanted but havent seen one for sale in quite some time. Im wondering what their temperament is like and whats involved in housing them?

[Derek Roddy]

No different than anything else to be honest. They're easy in that they don't require high humidity, they eat great (sometimes too good, haha) Rock solid animals really.
Can be kept in racks or cages, don't get overly large....lots of pluses to them.

Derek i swear you have the nicest looking Woma around.

[metalcopper]

Woma is my next snake, hopefully in the next few months.

[reptiledude987]

I agree I already liked them but have never seen one that nice. Damn it now I need to decide on my next buy. These or brb

How big does an adult male usually get?

Thanks man. I always try to buy the best stock I can find. I'll wait it out before getting something I'm not completely happy with and, that makes a big difference in the offspring you produce. Not that everyone's taste is the same but, most of us can pick out top notch stuff. haha.

Size is in the feeding but, I've never seen a captive Woma in the US over 5 1/2 - 6 feet. And that's pushing it a little.

In the wild average size for an adult would be about 4 1/2 - 5 feet.

DAbsolutely gorgeous snake man. I'd never really considered getting one but that picture definitely put it in my head.

[Minkness]

Wow! Those are killer!

[Bandit]

They are amazing! I also like Black Headed Pythons, but Womas are definitely more in the budget haha.

[millertime89]

Holy smokes Derek... Are these all line bred for desirable traits? I know some people have been working with them, wondering if you're one of them.

[Rattlehead]

Trippy colors! Beautiful creatures!

[eminart]

They're on my Do-Want list. Great looking snakes.

[Derek Roddy]

Cheers everyone,

These guys have been selectively bred since around 2005 or so. I started with one Python Pete pair and just kept back animals each year. I really like the high orange look in Womas. Seems a lot of other breeders focus on the reduced patterns of the yellow lines...which I like as well but the orange banded ones really float my boat.

I totally agree. I'm not really a yellow person for the most part (there are some exceptions, I like a more metallic or gold yellow look than a straight pastel look) and I like yours more than almost any other woma I've ever seen.
