    Woma and gentic banded

    Are womas and genetic banded the same?

    Ive seen pics of both and some look different and some look the same.

    If they are different are there any markers to show the difference?

    Womas have physical differences from bandeds, and are visual hets for the pearl. Genetic banded are just banded.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    I get what you mean, some womas almost look like spiders, a really reduced pattern, and some are really tigerish banded...

    Re: Woma and gentic banded

    In my Internet travels, I noticed that Womas have a more spidery-marked head.

    Re: Woma and gentic banded

    I never knew the woma was a visual het, after seeing the pics of the pearl im not too impressed but I do LOVE the woma combos. I was thinking of getting a spider for my first morph but know im leaning more towards the woma. I dont really like the white sides on the spiders and it looks like womas have no/very little whitening.

    Has anyone produce a woma X genetic banded? Ive seen the woma spider and it looks like it puts more pattern into the snake. Would a genetic banded X woma be less pattern or is like the woma spider?

    I know there has been a few discussions on this but has anyone figured out what the 'hidden' gene is in the womas? I cant find where anyone said if they figured it out or if they just dont want to tell us yet.
