Just a word of advice......don't go overboard with the feeding. Woma's in particular are pigs in the feeding department and will keep eating if u let them. If this continues they can end up with fatty liver disease which can be fatal.

Stick to the rule of thumb re feeding and you will have a healthy python.

thank you Reptalica. I had read this so she is only fed weekly. At feeding, she is always calm and I have to shake the food in front of her to get her attention. Maybe when she's older she'll start acting more like a woma should. lol
 
a quick question, at what age is a woma considered an adult?
And what is their growth rate.
Mine is only 13 weeks old and I'm so eager to see her grow. She's such a tiny baby lol

I consider a woma adult as a sexually mature animal 2-3 years old. hatchy to 12 months, Juvi 12- 18 months old.

As for food, it is dependant on what 'type' of food you feed. i.e mice, rats, quail etc.
You will get better growth rates from feeding rats over mice (more bone and fur density) but i occassionaly feed jap quail to the adults for some variation.

Want your hatchy to grow - feed fuzzy-weaner rats. All my hatchies take them no worries.........

thank you. I'm always concerned about when to increase size of food.
 
A few of the rabbit flats from today, these guys have the orangist belly colour.

Primed and good to go this season :)

Jeeez yommy! Those snakes are really really something special! That second one is a real standout for me! That dark colour with such little pattern. Lost for words!
 
Got my second Woma yesterday off the same breeder.....the sister of my original purchase, Jaffa who was hatched on the 13th December, 2011. My new girl hatched 11th December 2011. Now to find a name for her and my Woma collection grows........

Thanks to Chris Haberfield @ Haberfields Reptiles.


Pics to come soon......just letting her settle in to her new home. Extremely placid like her brother.
 
Pascal the woma :)

and you named him after me (pascalE ).... awww. not the case I know. lol. gorgeous little woma.

hehe nah.. unfortunately not. Look up "Pascal the chameleon" from the movie "tangled". It is a cute little animated chameleon that also has attitude. All of my reptiles are named after animated characters :)
