It's funny I should find this post, as i have suddenly developed an interest in these guys.

Done some reading up online and as already stated I believe they are good hardy snakes averaging between 4-6ft, some getting bigger, temps 90f warm end basking spot and 80f cool end, humidity not too much of an issue as in the wild they are from both dry and humid areas, tub/ viv size for adults 4ft length x 2ft width x 1 - 2ft high. Good feeders, in fact have a very high feeding response, bordering on insane, but at the same time are docile to handle.

Medusan used to keep these and his looked amazing, although at the time, I was obsessed with his boas and never got passed my blinkers for them to look more closely into the Womas. Saying that, it was the first snake I had ever seen laying around a clutch of eggs and it was awsome.

Woma's are great and easy snakes. Only problem I have with them is that sometimes they have a scary feeding response Laughing Aside from that theyare one of the easiest boids to keep.
Most of my '08 babies have just accepted rats as their first meal. I'll put some pics up soon.
