Okay, this thing is just kickbutt! :O

Reminiscent of the Trick and Blitz morphs in my opinion. Know the lineage of the parents?

Did you track temperatures throughout incubation?

I'd be keeping the Super as well - Could easily be hiding another funky patterned one

Was the female a virgin? Any chance of retained sperm? As beautiful as they are, they really dont look terribly mojoish other than the flame coloration.

awesome.

i disagree with everyone who says to breed it to a normal to figure things out. dont do that.

breed it to an axanthic, or ultramel, or albino, or clown, or pied, or hypo. since you get normal-looking hets from the recessive, it really does the same, you can figure out whats going on without being disturbed by other visible codominants or dominants. but they will all be 100% het for something :D

it reminds me a bit of black pastel. high quality black pastels get these additional dark areas inside the alienheads. but its not that extreme with black pastel, and it also does other things to the pattern.

That is an absolutely awesome pattern! It definitely looks like the trick type of mutation/pattern.

I'd recommend that you definitely pair the sire with a couple of normals. Preferably normals with reduced pattern, so you're sure that things all come from him. I'd also look for a normal male with reduced pattern to put to the mojave mom. Rule that out as a possibility.

I'm almost betting you have a new mutation there, that may not be reproduced by the parents. It may be most conclusive to breed this crazy patterned baby to a normal and see what you get. Remember, all morph genes mutate from normals.

Is the baby a male or female? Is its head shaped properly? It looks a little distorted.

Good luck and Congrats!

Please let that be inheritable genetics. I love busy wacky patterned stuff! Good luck

Oh wow, that is just stunning.

Every once in a while you come across a snake that defy's what you think you know, and has that 'wow factor'

Grats... you've just nailed it. Exceptional animal.
