Thank you very much for the replies. It answered my question.

Once you hatch some and see what they look like, especially after their first shed, you'll always be able to tell what they are.

Candy orange and almost yellow as babies, busy pattern, light eyes, clean white belly, head stamp, flames, Etc.

I've produced quite a few and after my first clutch of them they were easy to tell.

What would be a good male to pair up with a Russo x Mojave BEL?

anything else in the leucistic complex. if I were you (and assuming your latest is a female) I'd get a male special and aim for crystals in a few years when your female is up to size.

Mystic, Phantom, Lesser, Butter, Russo, Mocha, Mojave, Mota, etc. anything in the blue eyed Leucistic complex like stated. I think there are a couple others I'm missing but I can't remember them all.

If you breed the Russo/Mojave BEL to any of those other BEL producing snake how will you know which genetics the BEL you produce has?

That's a good point.. The only thing you could breed it to in order to get BELs and be able to know what the combo is would be either another Russo or mojo.

Then if you got a super mojo you'd know by the purple head. If you got a super Russo you know by either the extreme white with very clean blue eyes or the yellow stripe, if you got a Russo x mojo you should know by the lack of the above mentioned traits. If it were paired to another Russo of course.

The safe bet would be a mojo simply because super mojos have a purple head so you'd be able to tell them apart.
