what size tank will i need ? a 50 liter lockable tub will do fine for another year or so
how big do they grow? im pretty sure womas dont get that big only around the 6ft mark maybe a little bigger
easy to look after or not ? all snakes are easy to look after as long as you do your reaserch on how to care for them properly
what kind of set up substrate, hids temp newspaper if its your first dont try anyting else till you have read more about each option and make the decision for your self. hides one at the hot end one at the cold end and one in the middle so he/she can be comfortable and feel secure temps 30-35 c at the hot end 26-28 at the cold end

if you jump on the search bar at the top and type in woma pythons you'll end up wit ha heap of threads on them

the single most important thing when purchasing your first snake is to get the snake you want to get and dont let anybody else tell you otherwise (except if you are silly and go get an elapid (venemous snake) as your first

all help will be great
thanks heaps.
