Mojave and possible Mojave cross

[EmberBall]

I bred this Dinker female to a Sulfur Mojave and got 4 eggs. Two "normals" and two Mojaves. It looks like I might have hit on a Mojave cross...?

Cool looking mojave, obviously hard to say if anything else is going on there... but it sure doesn't look like a "normal" mojave.

What are you seeing in those pictures that suggests a cross? Serious question. I don't know that I know them well enough to see what you're possibly seeing?

I have hatched probably 25 or more Mojaves over the years, Sulfur Mojaves and Mojaves. I have never seen one like this. One Mojave looks pretty normal, one looks odd. Hard to put my finger on what is going on, but it just looks off a bit, from a normal Mojave.

IMO it looks like an awesome reduced pattern mojave

I think the snake on the left, now referred to as the Vern Ball, is the single gene morph.

This shows the Super Vern (left) and a Vern.



The above Mojave is what I feel is another Mojave Vern, and just hatched today.

These two pics are the updated 2012 hatchling that I feel is the Super Vern.

Same snake, older pic.

Nice single gene Vern.

I think the Vern and YB share some characteristics, so this year bred my Mojave Vern to a YB. Eggs are due to hatch soon.
