Some Woma's we produced

[rjs73]

Here are some Woma's we produced this year. They have some cool head patterns. The father of this clutch, who I bought from Sean Bradley, was sold to him as a possible hidden gene carrier from Kevin. I'm not sure if they are normal woma's or hidden gene carriers. Does anyone know if these are normal woma's or not?
I do have an adult female woma that I purchased two years that looks completely different from these.






Here's the adult female woma

Nice! I loves me some Womas

Aww I love womas! They don't get enough credit!

[Boanerges]

Definately some good looking woma's

Awesome lookin Womas!

Rick,
Very nice animals. From what I have seen, and what I believe, I think those are carriers. I also have a Woma from Sean, and believe it to be a carrying Woma. I have seen alot of Seans Womas, and believe he has the special ones. Good luck with the project. I will be doing some cool stuff with my male this year.

Thanks Tim, I was thinking they might be because they look different from the female I have that I purchased from someone else. I just regret not buying the adult female woma that Sean had available when I bought the male. I think Amir grabbed it before I had the chance. I'm going to try to see if Brian Potter will send the pics to Kevin to have him take a look and see what he says.
I ended up with 2.2 of them and don't want to sell them if they are the carriers.

It is not really a matter of them being carriers that give them the "different" look. The "Hidden Gene" Woma and the "typical" Woma are, in all likelyhood, two different morphs. Kevin imported two animals on separate occasions that looked similar and he assumed were the same, only later did he figure out they were actually different. The first one he acquired was the one everyone calls a "Hidden Gene" woma and this is sort of a misnomer. The original founder animal did indeed carry a hidden gene, that is why it made SoulSuckers when bred to a Lesser. However, not all offspring from that founding animal would have gotten the "hidden gene" (only 50% chance of passing it on). And, subsequently, any offspring from those offspring would not necessarily have the "hidden gene" and so on and so on and so on...

The "Hidden Gene" womas have a different look from a "typical" woma but that has nothing to do with the presence or absence of the actual "hidden gene", it is because they are different morph (or at the very least different alleles)

Hi,

So can someone tell me how to tell if a woma is the hidden gene variant?

To date Kevin released two hidden gene woma animals in the US so if someone didn't buy an animal from me (which I sold two '09 babies this season) or Kevin...they don't have one. The other animal he sold is a female and she may be breeding size this season.

A normal woma has spider color and the typical woma pattern. Here is what a hidden gene woma looks like:
