Hi
Since we moved to Cairns a few years back, our SA Womas have refused to mate. I thought the hot climate was to blame, but decided to try something different last year. During a holiday to Alice Springs, I brought home a huge load of red sand.Out with the newspaper and in with the sand. The female started to dig after a few minutes and kept digging for a week. She got a little bit of help from me and made a perfect burrow. In with the male and they didn't leave the burrow for 3 months. The result hatched a few weeks back, very late. Little Woma hatchlings are IMO the prettiest of all hatchlings, I might be a bit biased though.
