Picking out a Mojave.

Hi everyone,
Feb. 13th I will be going to a local show, and I plan on picking up a female Mojave. Just looking for some good tips on picking out a quality Mojave. This will be my first morph. And do you usually get any paper work with them? :confused:

Thanks,

Dave

What someone likes in a particular morph is in the eye of the beholder, as far as paper work, you might get a receipt for your transaction. Usualy the only paper work involved is with hets.

Unless its het. for something i highly doubt ull get any paperwork besides a reciept. My biggest tip for picking one out is just go for what you like, besides that high blushing and bright yellows is what i look for. When i bought my first mojo i got lucky and found a ringer within the group, take your time lookin at em.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Maybe what I should of asked is "What do you look for when picking out a Mojave"?

hit up brad boa or pro herps they will both be there and are great people to work with. if they dont have what you want they will point you a great breeder that does.

mojo's have beautiful eyes, that are greenish blue going into near white on top. Look for muted colors and I personally like the ols with bigger heads.

I know Brad Boa, he will be at the Timely Park show that weekend. I wish I could go to that show, but I will go see Proherps though at the Taylor show.

Thanks

In my opinion, I like ones with high blushing. The female I have is only about 250 grams, so I can't really tell what it's going to be like, but the male almost has a smooth look to it in terms of the pattern.

Here's a pic of him:

I personally really like him myself.

Some people like reduced patterns, some like busy patterns. You will see a difference in price due to quality.

Just my input.

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike,
That is a sweet looking Mojave! How much does he weigh?
Well, when I pick one up from the show I will post some pictures. I plan on picking up a nice female Pastel or Pinstripe the same day.

Thanks,
Dave

Ah, no problem.. In that picture he was about 300 grams, he's a picky eater so he's only about 415 grams now.. He's very calm and I think everyone has that one snake in their collection that doesn't like to eat but just can't part with.. I think he's awesome personally.

Thanks,

Mike
