What is Woma Python?
The Woma Python is a kind of constriktor snake found in most areas of Australia. This snake is also called a sandy python or Ramsay's Python, prefers a dry climate, usually living on the plains of sand or in dune fields. It is closely related to the black Python, the only other member of her family. The scientific name for Woma Python is aspidity of Ramsayi .
The two types of the aspidits are unique in the lack of small openings for heat sensing in their jaws. These holes or pits are common in other types of python. The solves allow most pythons to feel body heat of their prey.
Like all Pythons, Woma Pythons are not poisonous but have teeth. Averaging 5 feet (about 1.5 m), Woma Pythons can reach a length of almost 10 feet (about 3 m). Most often they are shades of brown or tan, with a darker horizontal stripe along their length. Their narrow heads are usually orange and mixed with their thick bodies that narrow on thin tails.JThe underside of the underside are pale and usually colored.
Woma Python is night. During the day he lives in protocols or strong grass, sometimes even in a shelter in animal burrows. These Pythons eat lizards, small mammals and ground birds. Since they are immune to Hadian poison, Woma Pythons also eat many kinds of poisonous snakes.
Constructive snakes grab their prey of jaws and then coil around the animal and compress until they smoke. In addition to this technique, Woma Python also has another tactic that captures its prey; These snakes often attack the burrows inside and crush the animal against the wall of his home. The prey caught using this approach takes longer than those who are caught by the traditional technique of pressing, so adults Woma Pythons often do sports from combat prey.
Wom Pythons meets from May to August. Women laid five to 19 eggs Apoté be around eggs to protect them andincubated. The young hatch after two or three months and as soon as it hatches, it will remain alone.
Since 2010, Woma Python has been considered endangered and is protected by the Act on the Protection of Western Australia. Two factors contributed to the decline of this species. Above all, the development of cities has destroyed most of its habitat and reduced not only the areas where it can live, but also the abundance of prey species in the area. Also, the introduction of non -native foxes as predators accelerated a decline in these snakes.
