    I'm new, Possible Woma? IDK

    So just a little background. I purchased what I was told were two normal males. She said they are keep together my impressions; they're from the same clutch. When I got them they were obviously completely different. One, the littler is clearly a regular (Rug Rat). He looks just like my 5yr old (Jeffery), almost identical. However the second, larger of the two (Helix) has an unusual pattern and tone. I did some googling and stumbled across a morph called Woma's. To my surprise they look very similar so I'm here asking if he is a Woma? if not what could be possible be? thanks! and sorry, I'm new to morphs and these two little guys are my 2nd and 3rd pb's


    PS I was also told these two are "het-albinos".

    Re: I'm new, Possible Woma? IDK

    How come he has a different pattern than the Normals I've seen, is this common?

    Notice all his brown connects, visually looking warped vs an almost uniform pattern my other two have. Given that he has no brown spots going down his back. Also there is maybe one black spot in the brown, other than that he has no black spots. whereas my others who have dozens going down the entire length of their bodies.

    Edit: I'll get better pics in a bit of them both together.

    Normals come in all kinds of patterns and different shades of the base colors. What you've got there is a nice reduced patterned normal, nothing wrong with that but that's simply what it is.

    We have a nice looking Banded Normal that looks similar to your guy there. Although it would be fantastic if that Banding were an inheritable trait we still call him a normal.

    Well shucks, was hoping I hit a jack pot

    I'm still new to picking up the Morph's visually (unless obviously clear to the naked eye). What distinguishes a reduced pattern from a Woma?

    Womas have a weird head pattern and are different color than yours.
