It is a big deal. One is really dark compared to the other. Both do make BEL but one BEL is brighter than the other. Also Butters tend to cost more.

Its a Mojave without a doubt.

Yeah, to pay butter prices on a mojave especially as an import to the PI is unfortunate. Mojaves don't do to combos what butters do, especially if youre a breeder who prefers making lighter colored morphs.

Here is my baby butter that is also a het ghost...

Unless the breeder bred a butter to a really dark "normal" and got a really dark butter, which is pretty unlikely, that's a mojave.

They may all make BEL's but the crosses made with either definitely look different.

Yep....Butters cost about twice as much as mojaves.

yup butter cost almost twice huhuhu , average price of mojave here is 500usd against 800usd for butter :(

Id call the breeder ASAP with a complaint.

However, I am rather fond of its look.

Ok so I was trying to compare yours to mine. I was also taking a look at the Nerd site. Keep in mind that I am super super new to this. I got my snake for a super reputable breeder so I have NO DOUBT it is what I was sold.

What I did see is that a butter has light eyes (I know that mine does) while a mohave looks like it has dark eyes. Not sure if this is is across the board. I am sure someone could inform me better.

whatyathink?

I'm not an expert but it looks a very nice mojave for me.

I've never seen a lesser/butter that is that dark, I would have to say mojave, would like to see you breed it to a known mojave and see if it makes super mojaves or BELs. That would tell you right away 100% what it is.
