Recent Acquisitions! Opinions please :)

[Shewter325]

So Here is what i have acquired during this summer: Female Bee for $450, Pastel Woma Male for $400, Black Pastel Male for a Sumatran Blood male (trade), And a Lesser Male for $125. What do you think about the acquisitions and the prices? Also i havent heard a lot of people messing around with the Woma gene very much, does anyone know why this is??

With a lot of those animals, it really depends on the quality. For example, if the bee has a lot of spots or is browning out she wont be worth as much.

As for the woma, I think the confusion between the HGW and regular womas put some people off, and the similarity to reduced pattern normals deterred other people.

I work with womas, and no one would ever mistake a GOOD woma for a reduced-pattern normal. I think folks just haven't seen enough of them in combos to realize their potential.
I also think they may have fallen into less favor once it came out that they wobble, just like spiders. When I first got into them, the story was that they could give you the spider pattern without the wobble...but it wasn't true.
On the other hand, woma looks better in some combos than spider does, and womas do not tend to wobble as badly as spiders.

Not a reduced-pattern normal:

See, for me at least (and admittedly Im not a woma fan), even in that pic I see a reduced pattern normal with a funky head pattern and the funky head pattern isnt worth the price tag. But I also know that there are a lot of morphs I love that other people dont, so it goes both ways.

Woma is like Enchi--it looks nice by itself, but it shines best in combos. (It's not as versatile as Enchi, but then, what is?)

It doesn't react exactly the same way in combos that spider does, though the results are similar with some morphs. In some cases,spider will produce the better combo, and in others, woma will produce a better combo. Lesser womas are still my favorite woma combo. Pastel womas are similar to bees, but speckly. For some reason, the woma gene creates speckling in some combos. Darker womas create more speckling.

Also agree--without pics, we wouldn't know if the prices were good.

The first two are my Pastel Woma from TSK and the next three are my Bee. The pics with the Bee are kinda darker, her coloration is pretty light yellow almost white-ish.
