    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Woma question.....

Hello all~
I am considering purchasing a Woma and I am getting conflicting views of information on their disposition. Most of what I have read says they are one of the most docile and easy to handle Pythons, but I am also being told by some that they can be quite aggressive.

I would welcome any feedback. Thanks!

Kind regards~

Womas are terrific snakes, definately one of the favorites in my collection.
They are not agressive at all as a general rule. The people who have told you they are agressive, do they actually keep them? I'm sure that somewhere there is a mean woma, there's always an exception, but I've never seen one.

The feeding response is a different story though, and some of the people you have talked to might be confusing that with an agressive temperment.
Womas are eating machines, and it's common in my experience for them to take an initial bite at anything that nears them. I have a female that is particularly prone to that. She will by reflex bite my hand about 50% of the time when I go to remove her from the cage.
I just either remove her with a hook to present her with a gloved hand to let her get it out of her system. Once removed though, they are completely docile.

Womas are unique pythons and a pleasure to deal with. Everyone I know who has them ranks them as one of their favorite species.
