What are all the localities of Womas on the market
Tanami- Nt Tanami Desert
Topaz Tanami- as above but bred for lighter colours
Uluru region-southern Nt
Boodaries- ?
Rock Hampton Downs-East of tanami desert, Barkly tablelands
South Australian.

Are there any others and is my info correct?
Could people please post pics of specimens from these localities
Thanx Cracks

Then theres Tennant Creek and Rabbit Flats, dont know much about woma locales though.

Boodarie is around the pilbara region in WA? Correct me if im wrong

Most of the locality womas available on the market are nothing more than generic captive bred animals that get assigned a particular tag to try and make them more appealing to a potential buyer. Very few womas in captivity these days, with the exception of the ones coming out of WA, can be traced back to any particular locality. Rockhampton Downs seems to be the flavour of the month at the moment but a few years ago most people had never heard of the place

Hey Cracks, there is a queensland version called the Collaris Woma.
Also, PilbaraPythons have these Ripon Island locales that are amazing,
Cheers

i have a pair of Sandfire (WA) Womas that aren't on your locality list above...

Interesting Splitmore.When you look at a map of Nt Tennant creek is 190k from Rockhampton downs and could be classified as being in the Tanami desert.

 

[cracksinthepitch]

Checked out your link Premier pythons. Do you have any pics of these future breeders (sandfire) or can you describe this form?

 

[cracksinthepitch]

Ok so we have:
Tanami Desert inc Topaz NT
Uluru NT
Rock Hampton downs NT

DeGrey River Sandfire WA
Boodaries WA is this correct

PremierPythons that is one stunning specimen!!!!!

 

[JasonL]

yep...I'd be happy with that one too.

 

[PremierPythons]

I find the Sandfires to be delightful handlers on top of that too. They for some reason don't seem as 'food-crazy' as my other locales...

 

[cracksinthepitch]

Yeah that is one Awesome Woma, thanks for posting pic. In your opinion does it vary much from the uluru which is also darker banded?

 

[PremierPythons]

You can tell them apart from the Ulurus when you see them together. I would say that the sandfire locale has the distinctive darker stripes of an Uluru but it retains the bright orange belly and lighter head seen in the Tanami locale.

 

[cracksinthepitch]

Fantastic ,and these are your future breeders or do you have availiable at present?

 

[PremierPythons]

Here's a couple of pics for comparison...

The first is an Uluru Male

The second a Tanami Male with nice clean striping
The third is a Tanami Female with what I call a chevron pattern - none of her stripes line up which I think
gives a very intersting effect

Getting back to the Sandfires - you can almost see how they're a combination of both...

 

[PremierPythons]

They are still 2 seasons away from breeding... The other locales are 1 season away...

 

[itbites]

I'll be keeping an eye out for when them hot sandfires start breeding! mm very pretty snake...

 

[cracksinthepitch]

Thanks for that, Add me to your waiting lists for the sandfires
Ps, I like the straight and darker banded Womas.

Can anyone else confrim the other localities mentioned previously?
