    Lesser male or female woma?

    I have enough money to buy either, I've found two good examples of both. I was leaning toward the woma female. Not a lot of people are working with them and I like some of the combos(will def get a male lesser to breed to her at some point).

    Or I could save up for a lesser female but I think lessers are going to drop quite a lot over the next year. I can't quite make up my mind.

    Rest of collection is in my sig.

    Re: Lesser male or female woma?

    I think the low number of people working with Womas has to do with the Pearl.

    And yes Lessers are going to constantly drop in prices, everyone wants them, either for the extremely low chance they can get a platty daddy or for getting a BEL. Personally I can't wait to see a Lesser Fire.

    But if you dont mind avoiding making supers or if you think you may be able to pull the woma far enough away from the line to make a pearl that will thrive, then go for it.

    Re: Lesser male or female woma?

    well.. honestly it depends on what combos you want to work with, and whose poop you want to clean up for the next 30 some odd years.

    Not all womas are the "hidden gene" womas that NERD works with. As per discussions on reptile radio, they are actually two different morphs (woma type 1 and woma type 2 or something). So unless you're buying a verified "hidden gene type woma" you wont get the crazy woma combos that NERD has. Not that the non HG womas don't make beautiful combos though.

    Personally? I prefer lessers MUCH more to womas. Womas just don't do it for me. Which do you like better

    Well honestly if it were me I would get the Lesser male unless the Woma is a hidden gene Woma.

    Get a female woma, she'll take longer to get up to breeding size. Male lessers will be cheap and available, and always get cheaper.

    So you need a nerd woma to make one of these: http://www.newenglandreptile.com/ner...ll-python.html

    Re: Lesser male or female woma?

    Looks like you already have a couple of mojaves. Go with the Woma. Depends on what your plans are. Mojaves produce similar outcomes to lessers when crossed with stuff. If you want to make a clean Bel, the lesser will really brighten it up. But to me thats no worth the decision as it seams like super mojaves are getting more popular.

    Re: Lesser male or female woma?

    If I recall correctly, the Soulsucker is the lesser-hidden gene woma, where as the one you want is made with a regular woma. (Infact it says so right on that linked page.)

    Personally? I would go with the woma, and will be doing so if I have any sort of snake funds left over next year. If the lesser-woma is what you're after, you could save up for a lesser male while she's growing up, too.
