Woma intelligence

[Obsidian_Dragon]

I think some of it is an "active, hunting snake" thing. I've noticed curiosity and facial recognition in both of my more active snakes. Well, okay, less curiosity on the part of my garter, but they're so small it's not surprising they're more nervous than curious. The Russian is SUPER curious--anything new in her enclosure gets instantly investigated, and people are GREAT to stare at.

Womas sound enjoyable, but I'm not sure about their love for tasting things.

What do you mean by that? Are they aggressive/bitey?

From what I heard and seen on youtube Woma's are having strong feeding response, and if not hook trained they often are trying to grab your hand while handling... some even if hook trained still are curious and you know "hmm, maybe I can eat that hand? Let's try!".
I'll gladly heard some opinions about it, as I'm considering Womas as my next snake.

So the feeding response of womas/blackheads are comparable to that of kingsnakes? I used to own a couple kingsnakes years ago and they would really wrap around anything that moved.
