SA Woma vs NT Woma

[JungleRob]

I'm interested in getting a pair of womas but am not not sure which form I'd prefer.

I'm looking for your opinions on each of these, preferably having kept them yourself.

Info I'm after would be size, temperament, clutch sizes, availability, cost, etc.

Some pics of the different forms would be great too.

Thanks,
Rob

Get both.
I prefer Tennant creek form myself, but I would love to see more people working with SA Womas.

really, it doesnt matter what locality you get, cause i'll bet youll want to get the other localities as soon as you get your first pair

Get some Topaz Womas, I think they are from the Tanami NT. They are by far my favourite womas! Heres a link to a few different forms on Southern Cross http://www.southernxreptiles.com/WOMAGALLERY.htm

wow! The belly shot of the topaz on that site is amazing!

Wa womas IMO are some of the nices by far that i have seen, they tend to be a bit smaller than even the NTs, feed well, handle well and are just all round hot womas.

as for sa womas every one i have spoken to that has seen them in the flesh say photos dont do them justice

[waruikazi]

where are the biggest womas from and how big can they get?

[sawoma]

sa are my favourite womas. their docile nature does it for me. sa womas are the biiggest ones. I have some very old adults the male is 8ft and the female is 8ft 9 inches. as for clutch size i have had between 12 and 30 eggs.

here are a couple of mine

Mate they are gorgeous! I think i'm gonna have to get some soon!

G'day Rob,

If you have to choose between the two localities, I suggest you get the NT form, smaller size and very attractive looking snake even when they are adults they tend to keep their colourJMO, Matty Bonett has some for sale Just go to his site and have a look If you want his no P.M. me He is great to deal with You won't be disappointed.

Hope that helps!
Joel

So what's the verdict? Which one is the smallest of the 2 and most attractive?

Orsm, that's 2 peoples opinions. To be honest I think each form has it's own positive traits, hence the difficult decision on which to buy and why.

Thanks for all your responses, have been extremely helpful.

Keep them coming.

w.a womas are the ones for me.
