mojave x spider?

Mike just something I wanted to put out there. The snake in the picture above is the same snake that was posted at the beginning of the thread crawling out of the egg. Age does help some ball pythons, and the picture quality is much better.

I agree the pic quallity is much better which has dramatically changed my opinion. I never saw one before those first few pics. and seeing that animal made my jaw drop. (sorry for all the back and forth mind changing).

I understand the mind changing. I will tell you that one of the things that turned me off about that animal is the hatching environment of the first one ever hatched (the one in the pic by the way). I watched that snake hatch in a deli cup on a vendor table at the Daytona show in 2004. I thought it was bad taste, but a beautiful snake.

I was surfing around and found out that the Sutherlands have a female for sale.

Petboy, I have never seen a pic of the Caramel Albino Mojave on the inernet, but it is in VPI's new "Pythons of the World Vol. II" book.

Tim, that pic of the baby caramel albino mojave is amazing! :tongue2:

Credits under the pic name the Snake Keeper (SK) - I would sure like to see later pics.

Hey Tim and Alice I spoke to Tracy about the Caramel Mojave and she said that it was a ghost mojave not a Caramel. I called her about it after seeing the picture. The snake does look awesome though!


Brock :8:

Brock,
Thanks for the update. I was wondering why the project was so secretive, however, when credit was given to Dan and Collette, I figured that if anyone had done it, it was them.

Ok, is there a caramel mojave or not?

It sounds like the pic in the book might have been mislabeled.

Is the link to the snake keeper site below talking about the spider mojave or a caramel mojave (I'm not finding one of those)?

I'm sure they had thought of it on their own but I told Colette years ago I thought caramel and mojave would make a cool combination. The closest I could come was trying to breed a 50% chance het caramel male to a pet store girl with mojave like characteristics but the pair didn't produce in 2002 or 2003. The girl did finally produce eggs out on a breeding loan for the first time this year but to a non caramel gene male and still about a month to go to hear what hatches to see if she might even be genetic. Sold my possible het caramel male so should take me another decade or two to get that project done lol. I want to see what it looks like much sooner.
