Reduced pattern Woma.

Here's an updated pic of that freaky Woma born a few weeks ago. She was not a preemie. She was the second one to hatch, and those who hatched right before and after her are the most intensely banded of the clutch.

Stellar looking animal. Are reduced patterned womas being selectively bred? Bo

It appeared in a "normal" litter. However, the same mother also produced a similar one last year. So who knows, it may be genetic, I feel that it probably is.

The pattern is not reduced as much, but she was similar in that she stood out from the rest of the clutch like a sore thumb. Whereas the rest of the clutch looked brown when born, she was much lighter and a bright yellow color.

Here's one of last year's littermates for comparison.
