Yeah but Ian the ball looks normal to me. Is it het for something? Kinda looks like one of Corey's het red axanthics.
And by the way even when I was in school and not buying snakes I still had to eat Mr. Noodle, KD and drink Kelly's so what are you complaining about?lol
Cheers,

You think it looks like a normal??? I hope you're joking or you need your eyes check........it could be a mojave. Maybe I should post a pic of her body or if only computer screens had braille! LOL

Well, I <u>used</u> to like you.... :D lol

That is SOOOOOO freakin' cool ,man. You have No idea how jealous I am. It's worth a few years of KD as far as I am concerned.

Congrats! :)

Trevor, if you think that's a normal, maybe it IS a good idea for you to get out of balls! lol ;) :p

I'll refrain from swearing at you Ian, but if you keep buying such gorgeous snakes you'd better watch out :p

Mojaves are soooooooo sweet -- she looks amazing, you're one lucky errrr... guy. ;) Who needs food when you can have snakes like that anyways, eh?

Congrats! :D

The mojaves on Bob Clark are listed at $10K for males and $15K for females in US funds and I'm not quite sure what makes them a mojave... although I'm not really up with the bp morphs other than really liking the piebald...

What makes a mojave a mojave?

I've just seen more dramatic Mojanes before is all. Don't get me wrong Ian it's sweet looking but from here is looks completely normal, maybe the colour on my monitor is off or something. Or maybe you're right about my eyes. lol

Ha ha its your eyes, for sure. Remember, its a MACRO image, so the contrast between itself and the background is NOT there. If Ian unwinds the snake out and takes a pic from a few mor inches back, you'll see what it looks like.

Don's Mojave (http://www.**************/donpatterson/ball.html)
I guess that is what I think of when I think of Mojave.

You've got to remember too that mojaves look better with age, and guess what this is from "Don's Mojave" . I'll give it a month and post some updated pics and you'll see.

Look at the background in Don's picture. Its NOT there. Its black. Yet is cypress mulch so it actually red. SO yeah, the Mojave is bright, but not that bright, LOL!

I think Jeff like you said earlier that if I saw it all stretched out I would see the difference.

Trevor, I don't really understand why you would say that, man. I think it's even a little rude, to tell you the truth. He obviously spent (or traded) a LOT for that snake which IS a valuable morph. And for you to say "I've just seen more dramatic <i>Mojanes</i> before is all." the first time he posts pics of it just rubs me the wrong way.

I know I wouldn't like hearing that, would you?

They both have awesomely high proportions of the dark pattern elements to the light.

I thought that all mojave's had that but then I saw a pic of one somewhere with relatively thin dark areas. Maybe there is a reduced pattern gene out there that can override the mojave's tendency to have wide pattern elements. Then there is the phantom without particularly wide elements so maybe that isn't as big a part of the mutation as I thought it was.
