This morning driving along Heathcote Rd in southern Sydney we noticed this guy dead on the side of the road. What struck us was how big it was.
I often wonder that aswell, and how they get here and out again.. in a recent episode of snakebytes bryan shows a albino darwin carpet and says that they only just got them 2 years ago there... does this mean they were smuggled out? or would they have just popped out of a clutch..
There is a popular herping spot NW of Brisbane where several people have reported seeing corns.....solar 17
really? for some reason i just dont see a woma being as bad as a boa , womas only grow so big , i dont see one causing as many problems as a boa could regardless of the native vs non native thingIt's common knowledge that exotics are out there, and in huge numbers too. Nothing can be done about it, an escaped boa in Sydney is just as bad as an escaped woma in Sydney.
Lol don't you know we only smuggle things using boogie board covers?Maybe they have a smugglers convention at the airport Hilton. Ill swap you this jag for your albino? Lol

as i said , i was sort of excluding the exotic part as i knew what point you where making ( the womas are pretty much exotic to sydney part) but i thought boas where capable of getting a fair bit bigger than womas both in girth and length , just from everything ive read and the few ive seen ( although there captives in zoos and i know wild ones are a fair bit smaller and it depends on the types which i dont know anything about really ) so they would be capable of eating larger prey and more of it , that was just my thoughts , i wasnt looking for an argument or anything just questioning why you thought what you didFor starters a woma is as exotic to Sydney as a boa is.. Tell me what damage this boa is going to cause that a woma wouldn't? They both eat large mammals, womas are capable of getting to almost the same size as that boa species, etc
