I don't believe that there was only one woma to ever come out of africa. Ball python breeding has been around for decades, and who is to say that they didn't find another WC african woma? How would you know that a normal looking woma wouldn't carry the hidden gene, unless you proved it out by breeding it to a lesser?
I never said that there was only one woma to come out of Africa. I said it was possible that only one woma with the hidden gene could have come out of Africa.

I'm quite sure when the Soul Sucker was first produced that most people who had woma's and lessers in their collections have tried and failed to re-produce it. Why has no one else produced it? Hidden gene woma.


Along w/ that, how would kevin have known that a woma x lesser made a soul sucker? In his earlier days he could have been trying to produce something else w/ a woma, and instead sold the "hidden gene" womas by accident as normal looking womas.
Well of course he wouldn't know it would make a soul sucker until he produced it. Just like he didn't know he'd make an inferno until he put three genes together. Until the first one is produced, you won't know what you're going to get.

Kevin has told me that hidden gene womas have markers that set them apart from "normal" woma's. That's how he knew it was different. Kevin is a professional with years of experience and an eye to be able to tell when an animal is special or different from the norm.


I think the "hidden gene" theory is just BS. I think to make a soul sucker it is a combination of genes, like a triple co-dom, rather than 2 co-doms + hidden gene.
You are entitled to your opinion. However, knowing Kevin and Kara as I do as friends, I will choose to believe what they tell me is true. And I'm so willing to believe it, that I'm also going to be willing to pay MUCH more for a hidden gene woma from Kevin when I'm ready for one, than a "normal" woma.

I know that the hidden gene is not BS, but if you've decided it is, there's not much that can be said to change your mind.
