Hidden Gene is not the same thing as Woma. I got it. However...
The issue still remains that if Woma is dominant, then an visual Woma may carry 1 or 2 copies of the Woma-gene.
Using a simple punnet square, your statements about Womas and Spiders do not make sense. As I am sure you know, a Dominant gene will be expressed when there are 1 or 2 copies of the gene in an individual. 1 copy and the snake is Heterozygous.
Let's try to find the communication problem here. Couple of questions.
Do you consider ALL homozygous animals to be "Supers"?
Do you believe the homozygous form of the Woma gene to be fatal? (Trying to understand WHY you believe there can be no homozygous Womas)
For clarity, I did a few simple punnet squares. What about these are inaccurate in your opinion?
