Not a Mojave

I picked this little guy up at the pet store today (40 bucks). He has "Mojave" traits but doesn't have the flames all the way down the body. I don't think he's Mojave but I'm not thinking normal either. Any ideas?http://telescopejunkies.com/photos/s...5&photoid=4487http://telescopejunkies.com/photos/s...5&photoid=4486



ok how do I upload pics?

Can't see the pics, but if you put them on an image hosting site like photobucket then you click "share" and copy-paste the img code that it gives you.

there he is

From what I see it's a really nice normal. I don't see anything else in it though.

I'm no expert but it looks to me like a nice normal :)

Definitely not a mojave, but I really like the drippy/melty pattern. :gj:

Normal...
Normals varied a lot in Pattern and colors...

Lately i dont like use term "normal" because sometimes is nothing "normal" about them.
I think that community should start use "wild type" term more often to distance "normals" from Morphs.

Nice blushing though.

i HAVE a mojave and from what i've seen of mojo's that definitely isnt one. nice pattern though. ;)

here's our little mojo girl. as you can see she has very different color to the animal you showed picks of. sorry but i'm gonna have to say that's a very nice wild type B.P. i hope you didn't pay to much for her.

I agree with you 100% We always here and we ourselves put just a normal, or use the term loosley. We should start calling them "wild type"!

Thanks guys. I didn't think he was a Mojave, but I didn't know that normals had that kind of blushing either. He definitely looks different than my normal, so that's why I was thinking he wasn't normal either. Here's Lucy, my "normal".[IMG]http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...cyDrinking.jpg[/IMG]


For $40.00 I'm not complaining and didn't get hurt, I still think he's a beautiful snake (like they ALL are) and look forward to many years of having him as a pet.


Thanks for all your help and input.

That is certainly a very, very lovely classic, as I like to call them.

I'd would have snapped him up in a second myself. Gorgeous creamy browns, fantastic blushing, stellar pattern, what's not to love ?

Congratulations on a fantastic pet shop find, I bet he's going to be a knockout as he gets bigger.

Normal. Mojaves are a color and pattern morph. The pictures are small so we can't really see anything, but if you bought it as a normal 90% of the time it is a normal.

Here is a great guide to mojaves http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...PHS...-Mojaves

Yeah, she told me that "he may prove out to be more, but I can't guarantee a morph, so I have to sell him as a normal."


The pics are much bigger on the photobucket sight, if you happen to click on the pics.

The fact that he has no black had me thinking more, I am a newb and like many more before me, and many after me I was confused over the genetic makeup of my snake.

He is definately not a mojave! He is a very nice normal, wild type classic!

It's a normal with a cool pattern to it. I like it!

Not a mojave :colbert:

The wild type balls can have all the goodies without actually being a morph. They definitely have value though, because you can use them to improve existing morphs. :gj:

Not a Mojave but it is one good looking snake. I love that blushing and the pattern on it is very odd. You got a neat snake for 40 bucks. Congrat's!

100% normal from what I see. Nice looking snake though.

I generally prefer, and use (or try to -- I do slip up sometimes especially on a LONG post, ha ha) the term "wild-type," since that is the technically correct term genetically ... I like the idea of calling them "classic" type, though!
