mojave?

Bought this little gem at an expo today as a mojave but others seem to think otherwise. Opinions?

The color is throwing me off - it doesn't look like mojo colors to me. Outside pics in natural lighting would help I think.

And for future reference: quarantine new additions just in case, even if they came from a breeder. That includes not bringing them around your already established collection (I'm just ASSuming you didn't buy that pastel from today's expo): especially not touching each other.

true about quarintene. any thoughts on other morphs? he aint normal. lol

Normal or low color pastel..........hard to tell from the pics.

its not normal if anything it has to be pastel it has mojave patterns but pastel colorings...can anyone tell what the color of its eyes are in the picture????

The color on the neck and head is a little weird, but that looks like a pastel to me. Who did you buy it from? Pastels aren't worth nearly as much as mojaves. A pastel male would cost about $100, is that the price you paid?

Also the belly isn't right for a mojo, it is right for a pastel however. Mojos have clear bellies like that, but they have greys and yellows near the belly, not black like that.

It's not the best picture color wise, but here is one of my mojos belly up

And my other mojo up close so you can see the color, you can see how the black melts away into grey as it goes down the snake

eyes say pastel as far as it being pastave they have the mojo bellies too completely clear white no tracks or checkered patterns running along the sides i must admit the color on the head and neck are weird

Also....what is on the end of its nose?

Honestly, and this may be a bit out there, but I have seen some low grade pastaves look almost exactly like that so there is a possibility. Better lighting would be a lot of help though.
