are woma really that cannibalistic?

[PatrickT]

you read evrywhere that woma pythons are very cannibalistic, yet you see alot of people who keep them together. I get my male in march and keep it separate because its one year younger, but will i need to keep them divided for always?

I would. I'm not someone who believes it's a strict no in regards to keeping snakes separate. However the cons far outweigh the pros. Unless you're breeding it's just safer and easier to keep them separated.

I'd treat them like some species of king snakes, only house them together for a short time for breeding, and keep an eye on them while they are together. Even if one doesn't try to eat the other I'd think it would be stressful, instinct should warn them that another woma may be a threat.
