Identification Help

I bought this male as a Mojave. I can't help thinking he could be a Pastave. Lend me your thoughts! Note the blushing on the back. Either way, Mojave or Pastave, I am glad to have him in the rack; he is a pig.

Those pics are way too tiny.

I agree. I dont know why they are so small. I will give it another go.

yeah, tiny pics, but just looking at those postage stamps, he sure LOOKS like a pastave.

Pics are small. But from what I can see looks like it good be a pastive. Either that or if the colors are accurate then a real bright nice colorful odd pattern mojave.

Better pics I hope.

To clarify the terms of sale; He was "thrown in" on a deal I made with a big female pastel. I saw 1 pic of him through an aquarium (with my name on a post it note) and it just sweetened the deal. I am not in the business of sly purchases on a person who does not know the morph they have.

kinda hard to tell lol he has some really awesome blushing and colour but I couldn't say for sure . I'm leaning more towards pastave just because of crazy blushing on the back and between the patern. either way he's gorgeous.

Regarding age/size he is nearly 440 grams

I am gonna say no on pastave, head is not right. All pastels have a blushed out head. The only for sure way to find out is to breed it to anything that deffinatly doesnt have pastel in it

That is the only thing that was holding me back. The head is not nearly as blushed as the sides/back. He will be put to work to produce a BEL, so his pastel gene is not of overwhelming concern. Hope everyone enjoyed the pics regardless; thanks for the input. Additional thoughts are welcome.

He looks just like my own male, who is just a stellar example of a mojave. The phenomenal blushing is what made me decide I needed a male mojave despite already having a female at breeding size for my projects.

X3 If it wasn't for lack of blushing on the head I'd say Mohave for sure! Nice animal regardless
though. Good luck with the BELs.:)
