    snake id really quick
    I normally hate these posts but a person is selling these snakes near me and I want your opinion if they are what he says they are

    that second one is DEFINITELY NOT a mojave, and idk about the granite, but if he is trying to rip you off with the mojave then i would'nt buy from him any way. im 100% sure that's not a mojave though. here's a pic of my mojave for compairson..

    most of them arent as dark as mine and look a little like lesser's though.

    They look like normals, NO mojave and the granite is lacking in pics, but likely a normal being the seller can't tell the difference between a Mojave and a normal.

    Miss represented on both counts in my opinion :mad:

    Your pictures are too far into the red range, meaning the images were probably taken under tungsten based lighting and you didn't correct for the white balance. Check on your camera settings and change your camera to tungesten lighting, then it should make IDing them easier.

    He said they're for sale, so it was probably the seller that took the pictures. Good tip nonetheless, though. ;) The first one does look like a granite, but that doesn't mean its a genetic granite. The second one is definitely not a mojave. Fixing the coloring on the camera isn't going to make it look like one either. I'd pass on this deal if I were you.

    Can't tell if that's a true granite without seeing a pic of the top of the head, but it doesn't look like it ... the second pic is definitely not a mojave.

    Run Forest, run!

    ...now I may be jumping to conclusions (shame on me) but check out the background in those photos...not very organized and clean....

    ...hope the snakes are being cared for in a cleaner fashion. :confused:

    stay away from those.. first one could be a granite but i doubt it and the second one is for sure not a mojave. mojave's have clear bellies and that one from what i see and the lack of mojave colors too

    I am definitely not the one to ID morphs unless I have a verified pic for comparison. But that second does not look much different than my $30 normal.
