    Is This Truly a Mojave Sterling??

    Hello all! I wish to purchase a snake from DynastyReptiles, he seems to get great rep, but I am quite confused!
    He has an animal, a mojave sterling, which really doesn't look like one at all! I texted him and he did say he it was definitely mojave sterling, but it truly almost looks to have spider in it (I wish to avoid that gene for personal reasons).
    I really need some help, I am no professional and would love an outside opinion. Thank you!
    Here she is.

    Nah that's a Mojave. Spider very obviously makes the dark part of the pattern into the emphasis.

    So you are absolutely sure that this snake is a Mojave Sterling? It is interesting, I cannot find any in Google. Is this not a common pairing, or is it just not frequently posted on Google?

    If Chun says it's a Mojave Sterling, I would bet money it's a mojave sterling. He's been in the business for a long time and has a very good reputation and amazing looking animals. I'd buy from him any day.

    I'm no morph expert, but I definitely don't see any spider there.

    You often won't find accurate examples of the 4+ gene combos on Google image search.

    A sterling mojave is a Mojave cinnamon (or black pastel but iirc chun works with cinnamon) super pastel. That kid looks bang on for what I would expect from that combo.

    OK guys, but... I did get a chance to find some cinnamon mojave pastel... spiders.
    They look literally the same.
    I'm so confused.

    Sorry for bugging you guys.
    This is what a cinnamon pastel mojave looks like, from Matt Shifflett also. It doesn't look anything like Dynasty Reptile's Sterling Mojave and it's only missing 'spider'.

    I do not quite understand...

    You do realize that a Sterling Mojave and a Cinnamon Mojave Pastel are not the same animal? A Sterling Mojave is a Cinnamon Super Pastel Mojave http://www.worldofballpythons.com/mo...-super-pastel/

    Now the problem is with animals that have Mojave and Cinny there can be a a lot of variation even more when adding more genes, did you ask Chun what the pairing was?

    He has been doing this a very long time and has nothing to gain to sell a animal as what it is not especially if the animal had an exxtra gene as you seem to believe.

    Now this is a Cinnamon Mojave Spider Super Pastel http://www.worldofballpythons.com/mo...-super-pastel/


    Oh and
