Could he be a PASTAVE...

http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file..._067_thumb.jpg Could he be a Pastave..some people have been telling me he might be...

Not a very good pic, but he does have some interesting coloration. Who did you buy him from? Have you asked the breeder what the pairing was? Really interesting at the very least. I'd grow him out and breed him to a normal and see what you get... If any pastels pop out, he's a pastave...

since I dont know his genetics i am going to say he could be, but if he was sold as a mojave he is likely just a mojo with super nice blushing and fading.. my male and female both have the same look as your male and they are "just" mojaves ;)

Nice looking Mojo but, don't think there is any Pastel in it. Head is way to dark in my opinion.

That's what i was thinking....the head is to dark..just thought i would ask..

I would have to agree with this... The picture is not the best but it looks like a really nice mojo but head is to dark to have pastel in it...

Here is a pastave fem I have for comparison( pastel tends to lighten up the head color)

Really interesting pattern on him. Very pretty snake, regardless of whether he has pastel in him.

yap i agree.. the head is too dark to be a pastave, but nice fading and coloration

here are some hatchling for comparison,
