hence my pastel statement

another thing is if she is so convinced this normal is a mojave, what would stop her from selling the rest of the normal sibblings as 'het mojave' or normal as mojave? I'd put out a post on he on the BOI. not nessisarilly as a 'bad seller' since she is giving you your money bak, but as a look out to watch what you buy from her

Beware snake collecting is very addictive. Have fun with your great looking BP.

ok so after reading that link up ther i see that if you mate 2 co-doms they will make normals but they are just normals no hets. i understand what all you guys are saying now i just had to see it and read about it a little for it to make since

yea i got that but nobody said why so it made ZERO sense until i read it. everyone is very quick to say no but wont explain why which makes things very hard to understand

ok if you went along with paying for this snake and such (didn't continue reading thread cause it was ridiculous) so i don't know.
you were scammed and the worst part about it is you think you weren't! cmon your asking the "pros" as you stated. take their word no one here tends to lead people in the wrong way. :colbert::colbert:
Why ask advice and not take it? There is NO HET FOR MOJAVE

this is the only person who answered my question and thankyou for that but i dont agree that it was said numerous time that ther is no het mojave because ive read everything over a few times and this is the first time its actaully said like that

The only reason people will telly ou to return it is because you said you wanted a mojave. That snake has no genes for mojave, so we would advise returning it. Since you said you want to keep it as a pet, then fine. You should be glad she is offering you a partial refund, since if she REALLY thought it was a mojave, she would not offer a partial refund at all. She knows it's a normal, and none of us want to see you deal with someone who is selling normals as mojaves.
For simple terms, a mojave ball python shows it's genetics in the colors and patterns of it's skin. It's a co-dom gene. If it has the mojave gene, it shows the mojave pattern and coloration. If it does not have the mojave gene, it looks like a normal, because it has NO mojave genes.
If you have a snake with TWO mojave genes, then it will show as a all white snake called a luetistic.
If you get a pastel from this same person, I would be very leery, and be sure to look for green eyes, and the pastel colors and blushing. Feel free to ask what signs to specifically look for, so you get a pastel, and not another normal. There is also no het for pastel, just like there is no het for mojave.
I hope this explains it, and I hope you enjoy your pet, as much as later on you may enjoy your morphs.

thankyou wolfy-hound. i read through the pastel identifying threda and ill make sure to read it again before i pick it out just to make sure ther is no other mixup
