woma lessers

[joshthaxton]

ok so I personally think these are some of the most beautiful BPs around for being two completely different looking morphs. I keep hearing this and that about "hidden gene womas" blah blah blah. Technically speaking, if all womas have the same genes, (because they ARE womas, like a spider would have genes for being a spider, at least visually speaking) couldn't you just take any ol' woma and any ol' lesser and make one? Or am I missing something?

You are missing something

There appear to be 2 distinct populations of woma morph in captivity. Both of them have the "woma gene" but only one of them carries an additional gene, the so called "hidden" gene. As far as I know only NERD offers hidden gene woma

Ah...I see so if I wanted to do this I guess I should go to NERD then...damn...Thanks though!

you need hidden gene from both parents for a soul sucker. so you need a hidden gene carrier woma and a hidden gene carrier lesser.

even then there is a 1/16 chance of hitting the soul sucker. i think it works as a 1/4 chance, being as you have 1/4 chance of a woma lesser it would be 1/16 for a soul sucker wouldnt it? with it needing the woma lesser and 2 copies of the hidden gene?

Isnt the woma's hidden trait what created the "pearl"? Just curious, i know i have asked this before, but i have a horrible memory

yeah, it's a pretty snake but I hear that they have some kind of genetic defects and they don't really thrive.

Im not positive but i think only one was produced and died early on.

Yea woma lessers are really nice. NERD has the nicest i've seen though, check them out on this NERD page:
