A minor point, but for the small minority of folks who won't own a Spider because of the wobble issue, a Woma would be a good alternative.

I'm thinking due to the super issues with the Woma, but also the desirable reduced pattern that sometimes causes confussion with genetic banded/tiger balls you could see interest over time grow with both the Woma and Genetic Banded ball pythons, but the Genetic Banded to date does not carry the same issues that could come up breeding a Woma to a Woma. So lets say I was trying to make a super Pastel Woma, to do this I would have to breed a Woma to a pastel then take one of the pastel offspring and breed it back to the pastel or another pastel. With the genetic banded if it is a dom version of the gene I breed a banded to a pastel and hit the odds and got a female banded pastel and male banded pastel once the female is old enough but until then you could try breeding it back with mama pastel or another pastel. When the banded Pastel female did get old and large enough you really increase the odds of making what you want breeding a Genetic banded Pastel to a Genetic banded Pastel. Odds go from 1 in 8 to 3 in 16.
