Info TRUTHS ABOUT THE HIDDEN GENE WOMA THAT ARE IN DIRECT CONFLICT OF KEVIN MCCURELY(NERD)

willow sorry but your snake is solid gold and black and looks nothing like the other two and honestly just like a spider.

I'm done trying to prove anything anymore lol, since I know people will think what they wish. But this made me laugh, so I gotta say this

This statement in itself makes me think you have no idea what so ever what a normal woma even looks like :thumbsup:
 
im not claiming to know a whole lot about genetics. in my first post i claimed to be only an enthusiast. all im responding to is what i've seen on this thread and the couple of incidents i've experienced first hand. i'm sorry if it pisses so many people off that i believe the two snakes in question look more alike than the third. no i dont have a woma just a couple spiders and a few clowns but this thread really takes the wind out of an otherwise awesome hobby. not everyone is a big time breeder and if this is what you have to deal with im happy with my little rack of clowns. wish i could find me a couple more though!
 
Ken, the problem is not with Joe's service or his quality of animals. The problem is when you post in the BOI calling out someone and you say that their snake Granite Hidden Gene Woma has no granite in it, then you need to show the proof. Its not kevins job to show that they are what he says, he knows the genetics of his snakes. If you know granites you would see that his snakes do carry the markers for the gene. If PHR would show their proof right from the beginning this thread would have been done and over with and the heat would be on Nerd, with out the proof it makes him out to be a liar and someone that has an agenda.
 
make sure to be first in line 1 for class. your whole dissertation that kevin didn't ever lie just shows me the truth you are just like kevin mccurley and that is not a compliment in my book.


Kevin,

Coming from someone who clearly CAN NOT tell the difference in-between a NORMAL WOMA and a HG WOMA I'll take it as a compliment so Thank You. I've came to the conclusion Kevin didn't lie on this situation because the individual ( Joe Capone @ Power House Reptiles ) who posted this bogus thread simply for the publicity and as a sales pitch has avoided posting and providing the proof he states he has the same proof he he based his wild accusations on. He's gone of rambling about this and that he's made more accusations on completely different morphs as well ( Candy balls, Toffee's, Desert's, CORSLGLOWS ) [ Joe by the way you misspelled Coralglow...) and still he hasn't posted one bit of factual proof he's ran circles similar to a chicken with it's head cut off asking for proof from others... Why should someone else have to prove anything to Joe Capone when Joe Capone can not provide any factual proof him self?

To each their own, If someone would like to buy a Cheap Knock Off Misrepresented animal I say go ahead and buy from Power House Reptiles...
Just don't expect no sympathy when you come to realize down the road the animal you just paid XX amount for isn't worth 1/8 of the actual value you paid for it, The only thing you will see in your thread is we told you so!!!

This statement alone IMO make's anything you say here on the topic invalid... Lucille said it best with this one here...

"Above, you are asking some basic info about genetics in this post in the classifieds.
No harm in that, but why exactly are you trying to tell people what they should be thinking in this thread about different kinds of critters, if you are still learning?"

:iagree: And I couldn't of said it better Lucille!!! His answer will be I know about the HGW's just not the different line's of pastel... :shrug01:

Have fun defending Joe Capone it's a 24/7 job... Any person with even the slightest piece of a brain can tell Joe Capone And Clark Tucker of Power House Reptiles are running circle's and dodging the truth, failing to provide the proof Joe came here and stated he had... even my dog can tell the difference in-between a HGW and a NORMAL WOMA... And Joe has a NORMAL WOMA NOTHING MORE...

With that I appreciate the laugh I got from most of you PHR supporter's, ( even though most ran in the same circle Joe did and still have proved completely nothing!) supporting PHR and their cheap Knock Off HGW line that CLEARLY HAS NO HGW IN IT!!! it's not there bottom line I don't care how many time's you say it it wont come true... your not Dorthy you have no red slippers I see no genie lamp for you to wish upon to make it true... I'm truly done with this thread I hope anyone that buy's from PHR has fun in their breeding projects up until the Bp's pip and you come to realize you've gotten taken for a sucker... :thumbsup:

So you can continue to :deadhorse No real point in responding to anything you say as it's clear there's nothing upstairs ticking...
Try not to :shootfoot too many times...

Clark Tucker I do believe you may need a new face man for your company and to change the name again...
 
Above, you are getting on people for name calling

Above, you are calling them names

im not telling anyone what to think. i actually said if you want them buy em if not dont .im just responding to the pics and attacks on this thread pertaining to the parents and the hatchlings.im always looking to learn if you can identify the sterling and the super pastel in that group id be real happy to find out i could get them cheap.just point and i'll look regardless of the flying monkey crap i.d like to know what everyone thinks they are. if im wrong i'll fess up
 
you people are crazy the pics are posted. willow sorry but your snake is solid gold and black and looks nothing like the other two and honestly just like a spider. i have nothing to gain or lose here but when someones ads are removed because a few big shots are worried about the market value of their own animals . joe says that he has the sibling animal to kevins that and his clutch are proof enough. every snake all of us buy is based on what the breeder/owner tells us to some degree.its wrong to cast doubt on someone for the hell of it, this destroys peoples credibility and costs buyers and sellers alot of money. this it seems from the begining to be about previous disagreement between phr and nerd. unless you have real bad experience with one or the other dont waste our time its just confusing and stupid and ghi u need to stop altogether ive known you for awhile and its always the samething you take your money buy a few snakes from big names and get them to do your breeding projects for a good split . youve never actually bred anything last i recall you were running your business out of a pick up. and tell tony nicoli i said hello he's must have produced quite a few emeralds for you by now. peace out kenny

1. Yes the pics are posted. The animals are SIMILAR. But definitely DIFFERENT. The color is different. The bordering on one snake is yellow and the other is white.

2. Wrong to cast doubt for the hell of it? You seem to be blaming this thing on Nerd. I guess you conveniently forgot that this threa was started by PHR

3. He states he has the sibling. he shows pictures of animals as proof. The only thing he has proved is that when trying to make the same animals as NERD, his looks a wee bit different.

3. bad experience? well I was about to buy a mojave bee. until it was pointed out that it was just a mojave spider or something or other.

4. Take money and buy snakes from big names? Well where do you want him to buy the snakes from? We buy from someone who has the snakes we are interested in. That is how it works

5. ghi has not produced anything? Really? Hey Matt I want a GHI Female. just sayin
 
I posted this on another thread and it seemed to help

Maybe I can clear things up a bit. If you have seen enough of them it's incredibly easy to distinguish between the two. I saw a difference between the two when first laying eyes on them. If you know what to look for as far as ball python traits in general it's cake.

Normal woma: In general a spiderish look to it in color and some pattern but they can vary greatly...just like spiders can. Womas also have an elongated pattern that connects to back pattern. On the borders of the patterns along the sides they tend to have more of a yellowish hue instead of white...again it varies from animal to animal but in general it's night and day. Womas have darker eyes and more of a head pattern on most animals. Like spiders womas don't have any great amount of blushing in between the pattern on the sides or over the back. When they become adults womas tend to lighten a bit just as older spiders do. Womas also tend to have a monotone color/hue throughout the body and over the back.

Hidden gene woma:
Hidden gene womas tend to have an elongated pattern that is broken up in places and connects to the back pattern like normal womas but there are thicker areas in between the actual pattern and some really tweaked out patterned areas. The side patterns have bright white bordering them as compared to the normal womas that have more of a yellow border. Hidden gene womas have lighter eyes and some even have a steel color to them. As a rule they also are faded on the tops of their heads with no real pattern in the blushed out area. There is much more blushing coming up from the bellies and in between the pattern on hidden gene womas...very easy to spot this. The pattern on the dorasal area of hidden gene womas is pretty much always a bright yellow as babies/juvies and then dulls a bit as the animal ages but it's always brighter than the rest of the pattern color.

Here are some pics for comparison:

Normal woma pattern
womaball.jpg

Note the pattern is very close together and looks spiderish. No real blushing. There's head pattern. Yellow bordering the pattern on the sides. The overall color is the same on the animal as far as the pattern goes.

Hidden gene woma pattern
HGW%20Male%204%20Site.jpg

The pattern has much bigger gaps in between it and it looks nothing like a spider. No head pattern. Some nice bright blushing showing. Loads of bright white bordering the side pattern. The pattern is three different colors here with the dorsal being bright yellow.

So if you look back and forth at the two it's quite obvious what the differences are. Hope this helps!
 
Just for the record for everyone. Here is Kevin's Founding Hidden Gene WOma. That he posted on his facebook page and was posted here.

Now here is our Founding Hidden Gene Woma Dam out of shed. Clearly not a regular Woma
Woma1.jpg


Just wanted to post this pic out of shed and now everyone can bury it like Clark said.
Woma1.jpg
I don't want to hear how it was a mistake putting up or anything like that. You guys tried to show a Granite Enchi Hidden Gene Woma in the Ballboutique's ball python forum thread as Kevin's founding animal period. Nice try guys.

Our animal is the Original Hidden Gene Woma. Everything we said was true. Now the hijackers can bury this and be careful of slander.

Matt,
Give it up as you aren't helping Kevin's cause out here....
 
Good morning Joe,

Kevin doesn't have a cause out here as the vast majority of viewers and posters already know. I'm simply pointing out the differences between hidden gene womas and normal womas to people who may need help identifying them because they're not versed in what to look for. Night and day...
 
Joe,
He posted that woma has yellowish and HGW has white.

You posted a picture showing your animal has yellow and NERD's HGW has white.

To me it looks like your pictures agree with what he posted.
 
joe- as many people pointed out, ur snake and the original woma look similar and on the first view u could think theyre the same (which even kevin did back then), but with all the info in this thread can u still honestly say urs a hg woma?

in my eyes matt made the differences pretty obvious and now its really easy to tell em apart. the head, the eyes and espacially the bordering.


as far as coral glow and whitesmoke goes- wasnt the whitesmoke just the founder of the coral glows? its the first male that started the cg line. just like the first original champagne female from brian was called mint pearl.


what i absolutely dont like is that even today i can go to ks and find a female soulsucker for sale for 17500$ and in the description stands this is a reaction of two hidden genes combined.

thats simply wrong and misleading and im sure as hell that kevin meanwhile knows that. he even posted in this thread that the soulsucker is a simple 1 in 4 combo like the bee- how can that be when uve 2 normal and 2 hidden genes combine? that would be a 1 in 16 combo.

It's called a lie...Seems like a pattern for PHR.

:iagree::iagree:Joe- Agree 1000%, not only are you correct in the information above, Matt (GHI) also posted that Soul Suckers can be made from Regular Lessers, Butters and Mojaves.

Does it make it right to Lie if you are among the biggest in the industry? Do you have a longer leash if your the biggest. Are sending snakes out with Kinked tails and Mites acceptable if you are the largest breeder in the US? NO, NO and NO.

Last but not Least, Is it a conflict of interest for a super moderator of Fauna Classifieds to come onto this post and expose the OP's personal past, listing information dating back 7+ years none of which where positive in nature?

Thanks, Dennis - That was the last straw for me to see. Do we all need to become friends with the Mods on this site to make certain they are on our side, before we consider posting about someone on the BOI? :shrug01:

Anyone can bring that up. In fact a few did before Dennis posted. Should he have not posted in blue? Maybe. But the fact remains that even though he is a mod, he has opinions that can be expressed.

This thread proves that Joe likes to stir the pot, so to speak. Which, given his past, he likes to do. While this isn't a court of law, your past deeds can and will be used to show the likely hood of the falseness of your claims.
 
FYI- The post you replied to was directed at Kevin, not PHR.

I stand corrected. My appologies.

That doesn't leave the best taste in my mouth in regards to NERD either. You have to assume Kevin knows this by now w/ the Soul Suckers???

Am I understanding this correctly? Don't mean to change the topic of the thread...

I believe this is kinda the original topic of the thread.

I'm sure there ARE things about Kevin that need to be addressed, but Joe went about it ALL WRONG. And now we are all left to fend for ourselves, pick up the pieces and figure it out without taking anything Joe says as fact. Because everything Joe says at this point is a joke.

He keeps quoting his pics of snakes and saying everyone is wrong, even when there is so much proof that his animals are NOT what he thinks they are. He will just keep gorilla thumping his chest, swearing we are all idiots who can't see things for ourselves.

Anyway....yes...Kevin should address and/or alter the way he is advertising the animals, as everyone is basically aware now that no "hidden gene" is actually involved with anything going on.

Kevin has stated his line of lessers makes more stunning Soul Suckers then other lessers...which is his reasoning behind saying what he says. I do not agree with this, but can kinda understand it. He SHOULD say that in his ads tho, instead of more confusing "hidden gene" BS

To my satisfaction and many others joe has proven kevin is nothing more than lies and flash in the pan. With your postings all you have done is tried to drop off topic. So as I stated before stick to the topic. better yet go away. K. Matthews

NOPE IT IS NOT. If someone is bad and is proven bad and has not done a thing to change..... then the information needs to be put out there.

Do they always get to do it? NOPE.
Do you get to catch every single fish in the lake when you go fishing? NOPE
 
Can anyone who has been following this thread give a short recap of the facts or anything learned. I'm very interested but don't have the time to read through all the posts.
Thank-You
