Normal or Mojave?

I was at a show this weekend and happened to show someone pics of my adopted BP. She said she looked Mojave. I have very serious doubts about that, but since we adopted her 3rd hand, I really have no idea where she came from. I personally think that she just doesn't have the characteristics of a Mojave, but I'm relatively new to the world of BP's so my opinion is far from professional. :P I really think she's just my nice normal girl - I think it may have been a bad cell phone pic that I showed her, lol. But any opinions would be welcome.

Nice looking Normal! Cute pic with the pup...

That's a really good-looking normal, but not a mojave :)

What may have thrown them off is she has a large lack of alien heads and a lot of P's. She is a great looking wild type:) :gj:

Thanks all. That's what I thought too. She was a lucky adoption IMHO.;)

I see a possible yellowbelly

She has got an awesome pattern and color that's for sure. You should post a belly pic and see if Rich's hunch is right.

Here are her belly shots.

Rich has a good eye on that pattern, I thought maybe also until I saw belly shots.

That's a very nice looking normal :gj:

Yeah, none of the traditional checkered black/white/grey along the ventral scales - Still a great looking Normal!

I showed this picture to buddy that has the Freak gene and you may of picked one up by fluke.

He said looks like his line that he accidentally sold in a lot of normals to pet shop. 30 mins away from where OP lives. Without breeding wont know 100% though. But belly shows no YB

Thanks for the input, all!

Sometimes YBs don't have great bellies, but looks normal to me. If you did have plans to breed her, I'd get her a really nice looking YB boyfriend. Every now and then a blah YB can look like a normal. But as she is, I'm thinking nice normal ^^
