Mojave or leopard Mojave?
So I bought this beautiful girl from QMC as a leopard Mojave, but ever since she came home I have had my doubts. I have talked to people who know the breeder personally and say she is a leopard Mojave, but a lot of others think she is just mojo. I am worried because I overpaid for just a regular mojo and I need a leopard mojo for my breeding projects and while I love the girl and think she is beautiful, being that it is my first snake I would rather not be ripped off and lied to about her genetics. I would like your opinions on her and if she is just mojo I don't know what I should do.. So any advice on what I should do or say would be greatly appreciated as well! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a7af04f244.jpg

So what should I tell the breeder? Or should I do anything else? He is a reputable breeder and is always at shows so I have seen him a lot.

Just call or email him. If he is truly a good breeder he will understand and fix his mistakes. If he needs more proof you could show him this thread and the other one where you posted your snakes you got at repticon but it would be a really shifty thing to do. If push comes to shove you can even ask other breeders at the next convention

Okay thanks! I don't want it to become an event of any kind but I am just disappointed. Thanks for the opinion and I will probably contact him later tonight.

Was it a Mojave from a pairing that included Leopard?
A lot of new keepers have selective memories once they get home after having an excited conversation about a cool looking animal with a breeder at a show. They end up thinking the animal is carrying more genes than it actually is because that conversation included talk about the pairing that produced the animal. Many times the buyer thinks they've had one pulled over on them when that actually isn't the case at all.
Since there's almost no way a breeder with a shred of integrity/experience would confuse this animal with Leopard anything, I have a feeling that a simple phone call will clear this up pretty quickly. I certainly hope this is the case for everyone involved.
Best regards,
Eric

Thank you very much and I have a picture of the case where it says leopard mojo with her in it from the stand of the breeder and her parents and siblings had leopard genes in them. I hope it's an honest mistake but I will be contacting him later, thank you again!

Thank you all for the pics. I knew that's what they looked like but he was very sure she was so I purchased her. I messaged him and I am waiting for an email back to see what will happen.
