After MKR produced the leucy from the lesser breeding over the summer, the mojave price jumped into the 20-25k range based on the fact that they were capable of producing white snakes with yellow stripes and the assumption that mojave X mojave would do the same. No one bought them at that price (relatively speaking). The price then returned to it's previous level and they started selling again.

I think that confirming that mojave X mojave produces white striped leucies helps justify females being priced a little higher than males, but there has yet to be a price jump due to MKR latest accomplishment and there most likely will not be.

Mojave prices will start to slowly come down (even with the white snake being produced) because there have been a ton of them sold at the current price. Maybe as soon as this year, the demand will start to slow and breeders will lower their prices until they find demand at a lower level. The ground swell of people buying this morph because it produces leucies happened this past summer, I don't think that there will be a new rush to buy these animals just because of last weeks hatching. (but hey, I passed on mojaves when the were 3.5k so what do i know :lol: )

You really like the pastel mojave? Have you seen one in person?

Nope, just the pictures when Renaissance first hatched them out. Have you? Are the pictures not represenative of what they look like in person (for better or worse)?

Actually, Morph King hatched the first and called it a "pastave" (i'll keep my comments about the name to myself).

The pictures do an pretty good job of representing them, I just would have hoped for more (maybe the super pastel mojave will be better). I think the hypo mojave blows the doors off of the pastel version though. Don't take this the wrong way, I think the pastel mojave is a KILLER snake, I just think that there are more stunning combos to work on with my pastel females.

Just my $.02

:bleh: ... NOT .... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Like I said, I like it not because it's something super outrageous, but just for the subtle goodness of a slightly enhanced mojave (which is my favourite naturally occurring morph).

Ahh, good to know that it was MKR and not Renaissance who hatched it out first. When I saw the thread Renaissance posted on KS a few months back with the pastel x mojave and the spider x mojave, I thought they were the first to produce those crosses. Who was the first to hatch out a spider x mojave then?

As for pastave, definitely not as good of a name for a cross as bumblebee/killer bee :P Can't really think of anything that would be suitable... the name of another desert like Sahara perhaps? Who knows, what's done is done. I just hope they don't name the super pastel x mojave a supastave.

Anyway, if I had the money right now, I'd cross a congo jungle and a mojave as I said before, as I think the congo gene would do the most to enhance the natural colouring of the mojave. Whether crossing all 3 genes will make any further improvement is tough to say, but is definitely someothing I'd try if I had the snakes to breed :P Oh well, maybe I'll pick up a congo in a season or two, and a mojave a season or two after that if all goes well, who knows.
