Listed as Hypo Mojave... something extra??

This is from a Facebook group that I am a part of (it's not my snake, and I am not buying her). I am trying to learn how to identify morphs. This is labeled as a Hypo Mojave. Is that right? I googled that, and it came up as a snake with colors, browns and yellows. Does this snake also appear to be Axanthic?

Nope. This may be a case of thinking zebras when all that's there are horses (nice looking horses, but still - just horses ;)).

What strikes me as odd is not the snake, but the wording. "Virgin female didn't go this year"

If she's a virgin then of course she wouldn't go, but if she didn't go and should have, then she's not a virgin.

Other than that it is not a bad looking animal.

Not the greatest photos either.

I'm having a hard time understanding your analogy... :oops:

I did some more research, and found some more Hypo Mojaves that looked similar to this one, but the pictures on WorldOfBallPythons did not match; same pattern, different colors.... Weird.

Sorry. :) The actual saying is, "When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses not zebras." It basically means coming to an overly-complicated conclusion when a more obvious one is the most likely.

Gotcha! That makes sense. I would have just taken the word of the seller, but, like I said, I got confused by the website. :D

It's just a hypo or ghost mojave my friend has a few and they turn more greyish during sheds but also she is 2800 grams most that I've seen are also around 1000 to 1500

They don't match because you are looking at hatchlings and young juvies pictures BP do change the one you inquire about is 2800 grams so it cannot look like an hatchling.
