Opinions on these Mojave's

I have emailed my local guy that I buy from quite a bit...I have a credit with him, and after that credit, I can get one of the following 3 male Mojaves for stupid cheap....so I just wanted to get your opinions on them....

I know....they are all Mojaves.....but we all know every snake has it's differences :)

PLEASE VOTE ON THE POLL, and feel free to comment with your choice and reasoning as well! :D

Thanks!

Good luck with your choice:)

That's a tough one, but i think it's between 2 and 3, they both have nice blushing and colors. Any would be good though!

i like number 2. richer color and a clearer pattern.

I am partial to number Two. What are your plans with this guy? :)

number 2 ;)

Thanks everyone so far for your input!

I don't have any crazy plans for him right now...
The guy hatched out 7 or 8 different unrelated clutches this year....and one was all normals....so for under $150 (AFTER MY CREDIT) I am going to be getting the male Mojo and a Normal Female....:D

Since it's on topic with my original post...and please keep polling on this...but while we are here....

What are some things I really want to look for in picking out a GREAT Mojave specimen?
I know a healthy snake from an unhealthy, but as far as picking a good example of this morph, I am kind of lost....

I was REEALLY liking #1 because of the bright golds on him, but it seems the consensus is #2 for blushing/pattern....?

Just curious but is that a good price? I purchased my Mojave male and my normal female for less that $150 without a credit from Ben Seigel... I figured what I paid was market price. Do prices on snakes that are the same morph have that much of a price difference? :confused:

When it comes to Mojave's it is really up to you. Since most of them fade to a greyish color the yellows aren't the biggest thing I personally look for. I look more towards the flames and pattern.

Here is a picture of my Mojave female.

But if YOU are really liking number 1, get him and don't go with what we say.

It really depends on who you get them from, whether it be the actual breeder, or a wholesaler/flipper, and the quality of the animal.

You usually get what you pay for, though there are exceptions.

When I look at mojaves I look for one with a pattern I like. Mine has what some people would called a busy or even messed up pattern, but that is what I like!

Some people like mojos to have perfect text-book patterns.

It is hard to choose with only ONE picture of each snake, but I like what I see so far in #2's pattern.

Here is my "messed up" patterned girl:

It's only a $20 credit I have, so it's not saving me a ton...but it'll put me at $130 for both. I think that's a good price since most breeders sell normal baby females on ks.com for $25-30....that means I'm getting the Mojo for like $100! Even at $150 for just the Mojo I feel that it's a good price that I would pay from this breeder. I know him, have toured his facility personally, and would gladly pay the money for an animal from him.

Regardless of any of that...I just realized how much male Mojo's prices have dropped in just the last couple years....wow.

love the blushing on #2

You guys are lucky! Up here in Canada, normal females go for about $80 and Mojo males go for $250-$300!

I like #2

IMO, if it was stupid cheap... id get one..
it would be #2, but if i could hold out, and get something else from him that he was going to/ already had produced i might...

i personally dont care for any of these Mojos, but i like my mojos real dark, with high yellows...

No kidding... I paid nearly double that for my mojo last year, but will say he was worth every penny. :)

I love me a light/blushed mojo, so I'll pick #2 of that bunch - very pretty!

I have contacted him, and I have Male Mojo #2 along with the female pictured below on hold until I can meet up with him next week.

BUT, If I get this job I am going for, I may treat myself and buy his last female Mojo instead of this normal girl :D

I say if you like #1 that's what you go for! :) ... I personally like #3, the pattern is neat.

Good choice! Hope you get to treat yourself to a female mojo too. :D
