For what it's worth......The womas beauty is purely what attracted me to it. They'd always been way too expensive for me to even glance at until the last year or two. I got into womas strictly because of it's beauty, and it had nothing to do with the dollar amounts. I simply had to wait until I could actually afford one. That's the only financial aspect of my purchase.
It wasnt driven by greed.
What attracted me to the womas is their incredible color scheme, the rust and yellow bands and the cute little Groucho Marx eyebrows. Sure, the less strikingly colored ones still deserve good homes, and there are plenty of consumers out there to scoop them up too, I'd just hate to the trend be that the minority of womas offered in the market are the striking colored ones, and the usual pet store finds be the bland, washed out greenish ones for $175.

All I'm saying is that the woma is a beautiful animal, and lets not dilute the gene pool with lesser colored ones simply to make them more affordable quicker. That, to me, is the financially driven route.
