Talk:Woma python

Untitled

"The scales are small and smooth and in appearance the snake is stiped or brindled."

Apparently "stiped" is a real word, but I'm guessing that "striped" is what is meant here. Yahoo dictionary says "stipe" is "A supporting stalk or stemlike structure, especially the stalk of a pistil, the petiole of a fern frond, or the stalk that supports the cap of a mushroom." anon 09:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Rodent ≠ Reptiles

There is a contradiction here.

These snakes feed mostly by raiding nests of rodents. They enter a nest and use their bodies to crush their prey against the walls of the burrow. This technique often results in scarring as it is not always successful in quickly killing the prey.[8] Although this species will take warm-blooded prey, Aspidites ramsayi prey mainly on reptiles. Related species of the region have few of the family's heat-sensing pits, A. ramsayi have none.[4]

Exotic?

"Considered very docile and easy to handle, while also more active than many pythons, it is a highly sought after exotic pet."

Poor choice of words; in Australia, where they are common in the pet trade, 'exotic' refers to introduced species only, rather than as a synonym for 'strange' or 'uncommon'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notechis (talk • contribs) 04:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

While this may be eminently true in Australia, the Woma is a HYPER expensive snake to buy in North America, and this probably holds true in Europe as well, although that is pure speculation on my part. The Germans seem to be great snake fanciers, though, and there may be some price lists available. Anybody translate German? Also the term "Exotic pet" can have a secondary meaning, in that many of the local laws which govern the keeping of pets within communities consider any snake or reptile to be "exotic" mainly because the species are not endemic to the geographic region. Hopes this (at least partly) explains the choice of words. Hamster Sandwich (talk) 15:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
