Woma pythons

[Will0W783]

Wow, how did I miss this thread? lol. The pictures Alessia posted are of my male woma python, MacGyver. I also have a female named Haze. Mac and Haze are 2009 babies produced by my good friend Mike Curtin.
Womas are overall great snakes..they tend to be very hardy and do not require high humidity. They are native to the semi-arid outback region of Australia, and therefore do just fine on aspen or newspaper. Never use sand as a substrate for any snake, regardless of its natural environment, as sand can easily become lodged in the belly scales and cause infection and rot.
Womas need good warm temperatures..too hot can kill them but too cool can quickly lead to infections. They do best when the cage is between 80 and 90F, with a good gradient. Womas grow very quickly, as they have voracious appetites and will eat generally anythign you offer them.
Mine are almost too big for my rack, and in the next few months they will be moved to 3'x2' melamine enclosures. Womas will utilize hide boxes and should have one in the cool end and one in the hot end.

Other than that, care is really easy, as they are hardy and beautiful snakes.
