If you end up like so many others on this site you will end up keeping both species. I have both womas and stimsons if you get one that is feeding well both give little trouble.

Do your research on husbandry and both species then by the time you get to the EXPO you should have a preference. Once you get one save up to get the other.

Before you go to buy your snake I would advise that you be fully set up with click clack container or otherwise and have it running so you know your thermostat is set at the correct temperature - remember the temperature reading set on the dial does not always match the actual temperature in the enclosure.

I have to say womas are great, mine is very placid, easy handler, enthusiastic feeder etc

Nope, they're R1, that's an old & out of date link. Here's the latest list (NSW):

Have a stimsons and two womas and would definitely go womas. They're great to keep, always doing something strange or funny, easy to handle and easy to feed.
