ok here goes ,what makes a "woma"ball woma ?
second,I have a yr old ball produced by a spider crossed to a pastel,its one of the normals,meaning it doesnt have any of the traits for either.
it does however have a plit eye color
and the body is tan and black only,no yellow,no brown,belly is pure whiteand recedes up the side ever so slightly.
my question is, what is it called when it has no yellow?

Below is a link to the originator's page on the Woma ball morph. It's a very reduced pattern ball that is also faded in color. Most importantly (and to distinguish it from other balls that may have some of the same characteristics) is that woma is apparently the heterozygous form of a co-dominant gene that causes pearl (see http://www.newenglandreptile.com/ball_pearl.html ) when homozygous.

The both non spider and non pastel offspring from spider X pastel should be completely normal with respect to both of those genes. However, some interesting undescribed genetics may have been bred into one or both lines over the years (i.e. some very nice "normal" females may have been picked to breed to their pastel and/or spider ancestors). I wouldn't be surprised at all if the normal siblings from such clutches tended to be a little more interesting than average looking.

You should start off by calling the Ball what it is. Normal.
