I think the best part is that she's possible het ghost.

Keep in contact with the breeder to find out if he or she proves out her dad or not. Then you can be a little more excited if she's a 50% possible or a 25% possible.

Very true, albeit my plans for her include a male that I am hoping to get in the next 3-5 weeks. However I will be in fairly frequent contact with the breeder and was quite excited about the possibility of having either a 50% or 25% possible ghost. (I know you're a "ghost guru," so I may have some further questions for you if her dad does prove out...)

Aaron, you can likely answer my questions: Her head is brown with a lot of blushing, while her dorsal color is a deep black (very drastic, but photos don't do it justice). Also, she has a yellowish-brownish belly and I wasn't aware that Mojaves had either of these characteristics. Maybe some YB influence?

This might be lack of research or investigation into head/belly coloration, but do you have any idea if this is common? Or do you think she might have some other morph trying to peek through the mojave disguise?

Thanks in advance! And thanks for the comments everyone!

I don't own a single gene mojave and when I did it was briefly. I would say yes it's just a "normal" mojave unless the breeder had some yellow belly mixed in somewhere. I don't own anything yellow belly and never have so I am not one to ask what the characteristics of it are in other morphs.

She did come from a grab bag of morphs with her father being a pastel as well as a pinstripe but I think she's just a really pretty mojave, possible het OG.

^^ Thanks Aaron. I will post updates if I find out her father proves out as an OG.

To my surprise, the little girl was in the blue this morning, meaning that she was duller than normal in the last picture I posted....I can't wait to see her new color!

I had to move some things in her viv, which involved moving her, so I snapped a couple of quick pics (I've been good--2 solid days of isolation, but had to rearrange since she's in shed).

My hands can serve as a pseudo-scale...she's still a little baby! I also snapped a pic of her belly, but this discoloration may be due to her being in the shed cycle; my normal male always has a pink belly during shed.

here he is i decided to have him take a soak, (he had a bit of stuck shed) and snapped a couple of pics the movie in the right is for size comparison

Freebody · 12-31-10, 06:56 PM

are planning on pairing that with the beautifull lesser you posted? blue eye luecy in your future?

Very nice, be sure to post some after that shed is done

Ch^4 · 01-01-11, 12:16 PM

Maynard is great R-R!

Freebody, the lesser I posted was also a female...Their to-be-posted future boyfriend is also a Lesser, so I do hope to see a Lesser-Mojave or Super Lesser BEL in my future!

I have a couple other "aces" up my sleeve, but I don't want to embellish yet...

**Aaron_S** · 01-01-11, 04:52 PM

I'm excited for you! When I get some more copulations here I'll snap a few pics of the snakes I have going this year.

Awesome Mojave!! Love the colors

Ch^4 · 01-01-11, 11:20 PM

Thanks Aaron! It's our dream to someday produce a BEL or a Lesser Pied, so my fingers will be crossed when the time comes...I'd love to see some twisted tail action and of course, good luck!

Thanks Hillsberry; she's in shed, so more to come when she's in her new skin!
