Woma python question, true or false.

[Endeavour]

Have been reading about these fascinating snake and its said by some that this snake is unaffected if it gets bitten by a venomous snake. Is this true or simply an old wives tale. Many thanks if you can clarify this one for me as some writers say yes and others say no.

Kindest regards

I didn't realise this was a thing until it came up recently on fb. In the wild they are predated upon by mulga snakes so it doesn't really make sense that they would be immune to all venoms. ???

These two zoo pages have conflicting stories about it.

Very interesting report, to some it up in a few words, adelaide zoo captive bred quite afew womas and reintroduced them to the arid recovery reserve near roxby downs. much to everyone's surprise, every one of them fell victim to mulga snake predation.
