If space is an issue, Womas don't get huge.... If you get a SD.... ask around who to get one from so you get the real deal. :yessir:

From your list, I'd go with the SD or black heads.. Black heads rock, but are SUPER expensive, as far as I've seen, anyway. It really boils down to what kind of snake you'd like.. I don't know a whole lot about black head personality, SD retics can be pretty active snakes. They can also be chainsaws. It's very possible to either get a "tame" one, or "tame" one down a bit, but they more generally bite first, ask questions later. My little girl was very defensive when I first got her. She is alot more laid back now, but still will snap or smack her head into the tub if someone walks by too fast or if you go to grab her without using the hook first. Like others said, if you go with the super dwarf, you will want to get it from someone reputable or someone you trust. There are alot of people out there selling normal hatchlings as SD's.. You're expecting a 10 ft snake, but end up with a 20 ft'er. Not cool.

Having both I would go with the Blackheads. I do love my Womas. But there is something about those Blackheads. That keeps calling me.

thanks all for the input. I am definitly putting away for the blackheads i just can't get them out of my head really either.

With the SD i need a snake to tame as most of mine are kittens lol


Whats the range on both the BH and the SD retics? for good specimens from a good source i should say

Black headed pythons are awesome but not cheap. I would get one if I could afford one. Womas are sweet to..

I voted Woma just cuz they're such an awesome snake with a killer feeding response. But there's always Afrocks if you're looking for a big snake! They've got a tude sometimes but they're usually pretty cool.

I saw the sweetest SD retic the other day at NERD. It was only about 2.5 feet long but just had the nicest temperment I've ever seen in a tic. It was just looking all around and checking out my girlfriend lol. I love the colors on them too! I'm thinking about getting one someday(I say that way too much around here lol).

Blackheads are on my wishlist too...cool snake. But for something within reach pricewise...Bredli carpet (especially a hypo...WAY cool!) or Aussie olive! I have olives and they are very cool snakes! Cage defensive, but puppy dogs when you get them out. Also very good eaters! Not much for color or pattern, but they have a cool personality!

Well seeing as I want all four of those.... I'd say... get them all eventually... but, the retic will need you to be there so it doesn't turn into a terror...work with them, establish trust...etc. So I voted blackhead, there is something about those snakes man!

Also... one of my favorites not listed, Olive pythons. Just adding another option! :lol:

I NEED you to get that retic!!!!!!

I don't know what your situation is, but you can't go wrong w/womas or BH. I just voted for the Woma on personality and I personally like its appearance more. There are BLBC'ers here who have forgotten more than I'll ever know, so just take my vote w/ a grain of salt :lol:
