Show us ya Woma's

[yommy]

BP the male is a shade between the two. This coming season im hoping for some variation. Big year coming up. Boodaries rested and good to go, the RP project and the roughies.

jbest nothing to do with age both showed sign of being dark and light as hatchies. I like a bit of variation in my collection

 

[Bananapeel]

Yay we hit 2000 replies!

i hope to get a roughie one day as they're a gorgeous snake. One is enough according to mum but I'll have a spare click clack by then which would be a waste to leave alone.

Best of luck this season yommy. Sounds like a big one for a few people. I hope to breed in the future but that's appearing a dream atm.


Hope the season is good to you!

Im dying to get my lil dude be warned, I may post a lot of pics when he arrives

 

[yommy]

Fire away Kitah, never get bored of seeing woma pics

BP, just let your mum know that its a hobby that can pay for itself and breeding down the track is a natural progression of your skills. If your doing all your husbandry right and your animals are healthy and happy, breeding is a very rewarding experience for knowledge and learning about these amazing animals. Thats what makes this such a great hobby

 

[thomasssss]

well it finally happened , one of my womas missed their food struck themselves and began to attempt to throw a coil around themselves , he noticed pretty quickly though and lined up the quail properly the second time round , gotta love womas

 

[Bananapeel]

I agree entirely yommy. That is my main reason for wanting to breed. The reward of healthy eggs and tiny heads pipping at the shell. How long now kitah? Must be very exciting.
Haha womas have such character hey Thomassss. Sou ded pretty funny!
i hope to grab myself a pair of patternless childreni's as a first breeding project because I've always been keen on them and they're small so mum might tolerate it.

 

[pythonmum]

Loved the photos of your poor feeder, Yommy. When they take off, they certainly do so with enthusiasm!

Here is my pair of boodaries. I think they will be ready for breeding this year.
Female - she is more sedate in her behaviour - mainly ready to ambush any rodent or suspected rodent coming into the enclosure.

The male thinks he is a carpet python and loves climbing on his vine. When he finally settles down he will curl up on the tile in a nice spiral, but he's not in the mood tonight.

 

[kiwisyd]

Well here are my breeding pair of Woma's getting a feed. My male is at the top of the container before I can lift the lid to give him his good. Strokes fast and pin point aiming for the head every time I fed him.. Can some one tell wjat what type/breed of womas tjese two are plz ...First to pics are male woma feeding

And this next lot are off my female woma feeding on rabbit.shes not as fast at striking as the male but she also never misses when she strikes out at good.,

.

 

[Bananapeel]

That first snake is a very nice dark animal. I'd say that the 2nd one, the female, is tanami. Is the male the same locale? Because he looks like a very charcoal coloured Uluru locale. Although yommy is the expert in womas not me!

Where did you get that log python mum!? Looks fantastic.

 

[kiwisyd]

My male woma is very dark colour as u can see. I got this pair dirt cheap as the previous owner left for overseas and the male has always been the colour he is and he's growen well with no problems at all.

 

[Bananapeel]

They're nice looking womas that's for sure. Were they sold without knowledge of their locales? And do you know whether they're different locales?

 

[yommy]

Susan that male is something else. That pair should produce you some very nice Boodaries.

BP - not an expert just a massive fan... lol

Unless people keep good record on lineage and locality or keep locality specific animals you'll never know 100% for sure. It would just be a guess but kiwisyd nice animals with contrast between the two........

 

[Bananapeel]

Haha well part expert. Ok let's just say you know your stuff when it comes to womas. And probably whatever else you keep and or breed. Or do you specialise in womas only?

Anyway. A very nice looking pair. And my guess was exactly that... A guess.

 

[yommy]

I now only specialise in 3 species:
Woma's (WA Boodaries and the Rabbit Flat / RP-spotted - 17womas line):
Roughies and Albino Darwins.

When it comes to my woma's i'm 100% certain with locality. Using the Boodaries as an example: Yellow girl and Chocolate boy are F1 captive from the 1st woma's from Pilbara Pythons and Rob McCloud released to the hobby and red girl was a W/C yearling. The Rabbit Flats founding animals to this line were original W/C animals. So you need to source legally percurred animals from permits or have 100% faith in the breeder. Which i have with both lines...........

But out of the 3 types i have decided to focus my efforts on. The woma's are by far my favourite and what i focus on.
Having a quality collection over a quanity collection is my mantra......

 

[kiwisyd]

When I got these Woma's I asked the owner could she write down anything and everything to do with this pair as I myself like to keep records of what's going on with my snakes and she said she was willing to do that but I found out the next day she had already left the country which I was told wasn't for another 3 days.i suspect she just agreed to keep me happy as at the time off me asking for info I ws handing over $$&$,worse thing about what she did was she had at least 40 snakes and if I don't know anything bout my purchase there are 38 other snakes with no info on them.to top it off she was a professional in the reptile field which include her working at the reptile park up north full time. Hate to see the reptile parks records ...thanks for your help has pointed me in a direction to start finding out more bout them.

 

[Bananapeel]

Sounds fantastic yommy and I definitely agree with the last comment you made.
i hope to breed patternless childreni, knob tailed geckos and just keep a couple more species not for breeding purposes. Well maybe breed a few more.

@kiwisyd I would not go by what I said as for the locale. That is how they look to me, but I don't keep or breed womas or specialise in anyway with womas. You could look into it but its extremely hard to know unless you find someone who knew the breeder and her animals. Doesn't sound like the best breeder though. Best of luck with them though. I love that male pythonmum

 

[pythonmum]

Thanks for the kind comments. The male was a nervous youngster, but quickly settled into a really mellow fellow. He and the female both have a bit of a dorsal stripe and broken pattern by the tail. It will be interesting to see what they produce. I still think that Yommy's red girl is spectacular. Too bad she didn't produce eggs in 2012. Perhaps it will be lucky 13!

You patternless children future project sounds like a good start, some special Antaresia being bred these days.

With you last comment you need to fix that situation
Everyone needs at least 1 woma in their collections
And a small Boodarie would fit the bill. Need to work on your parents and licence requirements.
quality is defineatly the way to build a good foundation for any collection.

All the best with it

Will have some nice boodaries next season.... lol

There sure are some stunning ants around so I'm hoping to get my hands on a pair next season.I know! I really need to do something about that! I will have to get at least one! Even if not for breeding. No collection is complete without a bit of a character aka woma.Actually my licence requirement is fine as I was pretty much getting a sa woma, had it all organised then it went pear shaped and fell through so I went with a MD because a woma proved difficult to get and slightly above my price range at the time. So i have the advanced for this year except that mum's making me renew it as a basic next time. Boodarie a would be perfect because I can tell my mum how small they are haha...Just gotta work on the parents and I'll be good to go. Oh and the money needs fixing too but I can get a job soon because I'm 15 in June! Yay. Some good news from my mum. I've been talking with sharkyy105 and I told my mum that she's allowed snakes and stuff and my mum got sick of me nagging and said whatever its your money so if I keep out of her way I should be fine. Oh and I've recently been pretending tone allergic to my cat (the dog is hypo allergenic so if doesn't work on her) so mum said to it snakes are good for me because I'm "allergic" lmao.Anyway sorry for the life story. Thanks for the comments! Hope it works out.Oh and I'd love one of your boodaries... I will have a spare click clack too because of my MD growing... What a coincidence. Just the price of womas and freight. Ah well. I'll work it out.Haha anyway more woma pics please!

Oops didn't realise how long that post was! Sorry!

Oh and while I think about it, mind chucking me a PM of the general going price for a boodarie hatchie yommy? Don't worry if you'd rather not. Just thought I may as well ask.

 

[Nellynake]

I reckon tanami is the way to go lol. I have a tanami male and an uluru girl. in my opinion my male looks better. Tanami girl on the way next weekend if I can get the licence thingy sorted. Bananapeel why can't you get a job?i'm 14 and havve a job to pay for my snakes haha. I have had no money for the past 20-25 weeks paying off my womas hahaha
