Awesomely cool Dave, looks like the Ochre gold is spreading nicely! Congrats Pretty soon, another gen and you will have Ochre gold "woma morph" BHPs

I would prefer to have a woma than a woma look-a-like BHP If it really is a BHP....

Guys, it is now time to apologize.
I started this thread as a bit of fun and for a thought provoking exercise.
These are not black-headed pythons, they are unusually marked Woma’s.
It interesting how we over look things because we are already in a particular mind set.
The father of these woma’s is an unusual specimen that displays excess black and some may argue (hyper melanistic). In fact many punters were of the opinion that the Woma father represented a natural hybrid of both species which I discounted based on maximum adult size , ventral and mid-body scales counts, temperament etc. Obviously this logical approach does not prove that I am right though and DNA would be interesting to look at.
Clearly as these hatchlings haven’t had their first shed yet they will look darker than they will actually be but the body markings do look interesting.
Unexpected specimens like these, are some of the reasons I prefer wild caught reptiles.
I hope you had fun with this thread.
Cheers Dave

I must admit, the first pic had me going, I even sent Dave a pm. The second pic was the give away (that and Ads pm)....
Good one Dave.
Good one Dave.
I must admit i did have a fair idea what Dave was up to as he asked for my opinion on the animal in the first pic.
What i ment to say was not an inside hint "needed" at all. (As you all know my typing sux. lol).
Ive hatched out enough bhps and womas over the last few years to make the difference seem very obvious to me.
A future dna test may prove me wrong, but i highly doubt it.
I truely believe, and have told this to Dave, that they are pure womas. I believe that he has found a very unusual form/morhp of woma that looks to be a co-dominant trait when bred.
Exciting times ahead for the Boodarie woma breeding program.
Imagine one of the black headed forms bred with an albino woma. A white headed woma, now that would be cool.

Aww You got me, lolol, I just read through the whole forum then.
You got me, lolol, I just read through the whole forum then.Boa, other than the bit of black on the male/father, it looks to have no bhp influence at all morhpologically.
He scale counts out as a pure woma, is smaller infact than some other womas found in the same area. If it was infact a natural cross bettween the two their would certainly be obvious traits to suggest such, yet there are none.?
What makes you think it is an intergade/hybrid.?
The link to the other animal Dave posted on the other thread is most likely an intergrade/hybrid, but this animal looks to be nothing more than a pure woma of an unusual morhp.
