I think everyone was so excited over the Platinum genetics that they got completely carried away with the 'hidden gene' idea.

I also think that the 'hidden gene' animals really should be re-named. They need to have their own separate names to avoid confusion, and hey...isn't naming a new morph kind of fun?

The HG Woma deserves its own name. So does the HG citrus. If there is not really another gene in hiding, then 'Hidden Gene' is simply incorrect.

I've been very curious about the womas myself. Did NERD produce the pearl from HG womas, or from womas? What happens when you cross a HG woma with a woma?

I know that if no one knows, one of these days I am going to have to be brave enough to breed my womas together, and confirm the Pearl issues...simply because of all the confusion with the HG Womas. I just don't want to have to watch a gorgeous hatchling die of internal problems. It would be a shame if all this time we've been avoiding Woma X Woma due to the fact that HG Woma X HG Woma is lethal, though.

Does anyone out there have a solid answer to this question?
