Is this a Hidden Gene?

[Adin]

I recently bought a spider male and and a normal female that is supposably pos. hidden gene. Is there anyway to tell if she really might be hidden gene? Ill post pictures of both just because I can't leave my beautiful spider boy out ;p but if she is pos hidden gene what should I sell her for. And I'm planning on selling the spider for $150 does that sound like too much or too little?

Normal Female possible hidden gene 300+ grams


Spider male weight is unknown but he is slightly smaller than the normal female

Why are you selling them so quick? Idk about the genes, just curious.

Possible hidden gene what? Woma? Daddy? Or are you / the person you bought her from confusing "hidden gene" with het? If so, there are numerous recessive genes she "could be" het for. But if you don't know what the parents were, you won't be figuring it out without a lot of years + luck.

My opinion, you can sell her as a female normal. ~$30

The spider is a pretty boy.

Do you mean hidden gene woma?

Yes, Pos. Hidden Gene Woma. And I am selling them off because to prove to my father I can be successful in the hobby of breeding snakes I have to show him I can sell them he just doesn't want me have a ton of snakes be being stuck with tons snakes. Complicated story.. And I am sorry if I am getting things confused about the hidden gene woma deal. Im still new to the hobby and I'm just trying to be successful and do things the right way. I do not plan to breed anything until I get EVERYTHING I will need but it takes money to make money so unfortunately i have to let these two go I really do not want to get rid of the spider because he doesn't have the head wobble atleast I don't notice it no one bit. He has a beautiful back stripe all the way down his back that only breaks in 2 small spots and some cool markings on his face but I have too

Sorry about that last post doubling up I don;t know why that happened.

[Adin]

I'm assuming the guy is meaning Pos. het Hidden Gene Woma.

He said it this way though "Pos, Hidden Gene Woma"

Hidden gene woma is not recessive, so there isn't a possible, or a het. It either is or it isn't. A HGW looks like a woma. That little girl, looks like a normal to me. (I'm fairly new aswell, so any of you guys that work with HGW, feel free to correct me)

If you're looking to do well, you might want to do a bit of reading on the genetics there is a nice little guide here on this forum explaining genetics, and also you may want to check out www.worldofballpythons.com and browse both the genetics wizard (will get you a feel for genetics) and the morph list.

I'm currently on my phone, so linking other threads is a pain. Sorry

Ive read it but thanks for being helpful and suggesting it. I just didn't understand the hidden gene woma thing since I don't know everything about the morphs ha. I've been eating up all the ball python information I can since August. ha I love World of ball pythons genetic calculator and all the stuff they have on there I'm hoping to buy Doc Seward ball python breeding dvd soon since my birth is in 6 days a little strapped on cash at the moment ha. Thank you all for replying and being helpful i'm confident in the fact you're right she is just a normal.

But I don't think anyone answered if asking $150 for the Spider is fair or not. If anyone can tell me i'd appreciate thank you all again for your help it is greatly appreciated.
