Woma vs Hidden Gene Woma

[Serpents_Den]

I understand they're two different morphs BUT what are the key characteristics to distinguish by appearance a Woma from a Hidden Gene Woma?

I’ve looked at both and can’t tell one from the other.

From the VERY few I've seen, HG womas are a bit busier-patterned.. however, your dilemma is the exact reason that HG womas were thought to be womas from the get-go. They just look very similar.

The only real way to tell is to know the parents.

They are so close in Appearance that in my Eyes impossible to say witch one is witch.

If Kevin say is a hidden gene.. it is

This actually brings me back to something I was thinking about...If you breed a HG woma are all the womas in the clutch going to be Hidden gene? Is this something that always carries over?

The answer to those questions is yes and yes.

Cool, Thanks for the answer to that. Now if only I could get my hands on one!

Could it be that a hidden gene woma is a woma from a platty daddy x woma breeding??

Because that is the only thing that makes sense to me because you need to pair the hidden gene woma to a lesser hidden gene to get a soul sucker ?? That would make the soul sucker a plattywoma??

or am I very wrong here??

No Because a HGW is a Co-Dominant animal of its own, it is not a combo.

From the ones I've seen HGWs tend to be a lot busier and brighter gold.

Here's the picture link to one I just hatched out. The pic is crappy but you get the idea.

its been discussed and brought up over and over

the hg woma has no hidden gene, its just a woma looking morph that reacts differently with other mutations

there is no relation to the woma morph, other than the appearance

it is not a woma with extra genes

woma is dominant, bhb has produced super womas that look like womas

hg woma is incomplete dom, the super form is the pearl which from what i have understood, in the past hasn't lived more than a year or so. although, i have heard of some recently that were living longer (possibly from extensive out-crossing)

i think that pretty much covers it
