::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. [[User:Hamster Sandwich|Hamster Sandwich]] ([[User talk:Hamster Sandwich|talk]]) 15:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
