Wanted: Woma Python Care Sheet

[snowgoose]

Does anyone know of any decent woma python care sheets please?

They're not hard to keep at all; just basic python husbandry really.

I keep mine on newspaper with a hot spot of about 32C and a cool end of about 24C. No need to boost humidity at all with this species. Hatchlings can start off in 4 or 9L RUBS and will grow quickly once their feeding response has kicked in. A four foot viv would be fine for an adult if it was 18-24" deep. Viv height isn't really an issue as they're not climbers.

Womas are a fantastic species to own; much more of a "beginners snake" than a royal python IMO because they don't have the same fasting habits as royals that seem to stress out so many novices....

the only problem is that at £400+ each a woma is much more expensive than a normal royal python.

Haha, yeah, they aren't cheap snakes, but if I start breeding them I'm sure they will become cheaper :P
