I'm buying myself a python for my bday and am keen on something a bit different, like a woma, green tree python or rough scaled. Can people offer any advice with which one to get? I've had heaps of experience working with snakes, and the woma I'm quite familiar with in terms of husbandry, size, personality, etc.
GTPs and RSPs I haven't dealt with much, what can people tell me about them handling and behaviour wise? I've heard both good and bad things, but there isn't anything general about the species, like how woma are foody, jungles are snappy, while bredli are placid. I know it comes down to individual snakes but there is usually something general to be said about the species. I've only handled a roughie once and he was quite snappy, which I put down to him not being handled much by owner.
Anything regards husbandry I'll be thoroughly researching, so don't worry about that; at the moment I'm just interested in personalities.
Are either the GTP or roughie good to handle? I'm interested in introducing my mum and little bro to snakes, and am leaning towards to the woma who I know to be friendly.
Thanks guys!
