Steer clear of Wombas as they get very big and will dig big holes in the garden.

If you mean Woma not Womba.
I like Woma's more than BHP's.
You need a NSW class 2 for Woma's.

It is a matter of opinion only, they are both very similar in temperament, which is generally very placid. Only thing is BHPs tend to grow larger than Womas per se, although Womas will differ in size depending on their origin, eg Tanami, Uluru etc...

My point was if you don't even know what they are called should you be contemplating getting one ?
How long have you been keeping and what snakes have you kept ?

|  | Sarcastic Snake Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Sydney Gender:  | | | | Boa - Nikki is 11yrs old and has recently acquired her first snake - a Bredli. In saying that though, most of us were quite amazed at the amount of research she put in before purchasing - especially for her age (no offense meant Nikki)...
Don't worry Nikki - you have two years to learn about Womas as they are Class 2 in NSW...
