In the wild, Woma Pythons are skilled hunters, feeding mostly on reptiles, small mammals, and ground-dwelling birds. They use constriction to subdue their prey, but what’s really fascinating is how they hunt in burrows—using their coils to pin prey against tunnel walls! Womas play an important role in balancing populations of rodents and reptiles in their ecosystems. They're solitary by nature but not aggressive, and in captivity, they’re known for being quite docile. Thanks to conservation efforts and captive breeding programs, these pythons are bouncing back from past declines due to habitat loss and the pet trade.
