One male and two female womas plus a nice climate controlled enclosure setup, everything complete and ready to go. The lovely woma that Peter Birch pulled out at a reptile meeting a couple of years ago was just superb. If I had $10,000 I'd find three womas just like that one, and I'd breed them to get the money back and then start focusing on breeding womas. I would also try to reduce the price of womas since they are quite expensive right now.
I remember when I was insanely obsessed with exotics, in particular corn and milk snakes, but now that obsession is all but gone.
I have a permanent obsession with womas, and I mean permanent. But at $2K+ each they're dear. Ever since seeing some womas in a collection I've never looked back and wouldn't bother with anything else. The ones with much lighter patches above the eyes are my favourites. Not sure what bloodline or locality they are, but the one Peter Birch pulled out a couple years back was the type I'm most keen on. How I would buy that woma in a heartbeat if I had the money and the setup and of course the license :wink:
Right now I'm focusing on getting three Fischer's lovebirds. I have to admit I have a soft spot for birds, but Fischer's lovebirds really take the cake.
I know someday I will fulfil the dream of owning at least one woma or a trio. It's only a matter of time. I hope someday when they are more common they'll be moved down to Class-1 in NSW.
Womas are such beautiful and graceful animals. There is no reptile out there quite like them. I know they are related to blackheadeds but the womas are just amazing. They're like living gold - literally too, if you factor in the price :wink:
