Striped Mojaves

Just dinking around...
I bred this striped mojave male http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps27f306f9.jpg
(shown in second photo in background with his mother) http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps062b9779.jpg

with this CH female http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...ps8a45735e.jpg
and got this: http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...psb398ac3a.jpg

I was hoping for something more dramatic, but the striping is there. Not bad, considering the parents aren't related. I'm planning to do more breedings to see if I can make a more distinct and reliable stripe.

The one on the bottom right is pretty nice! :gj:

Yeah, I'm liking the bottom right one too.

Bottom left wins my vote. Neat project, definitely interested!

and CH is?

i most likely know it, its just that CH, at least on cars and such, stands for Switzerland, and that blocks my brain from processing this two-letter abbreviation.

Abbreviations of 3 or less letters often run into that problem, that they can mean hundreds of things.

Captive-hatched. Like a wild mother was caught gravid with eggs, and her babies were hatched in captivity.


Cute Mojos :)

oh :/

Instead if CH i would use FZ, which stands for "Farmzucht", which in english is "farm bred", which is basically the same thing. i wouldnt have guessed it :)


anyway, these are some really nice mojaves, choosing normals that fit the morp from the variety of normals out there seems to often pay off.

since the parents are unrelated, you could breed these mojaves together to hit super mojaves :D that would be awesome, a super mojave that always produces mojaves with these stripy optics.

I just have to say that captive hatched female is a really sexy normal girl. Great babies and good luck refining the stripe!

The striped male is easily one of the nicest mojos I've seen :gj:

yeah, this is exactly what got me confused in the "mojave versus lesser"-thread.

i want to see the color difference between dorsal pattern and side pattern, even in adult mojaves, and this adult mojave has it.

When i see an adult mojave without color difference between the dorsal pattern and the side pattern, then its hard for me to believe that it is a real mojave.

Also in many combos, the color difference between dorsal and side pattern makes a big difference. You only get nice jigsaws if you use these nice mojaves that have this color difference.

For a high-quality mojave i would look for both: The color difference, and dorsal striping.

so in my book, what you have here are some REALLY nice mojaves, prime examples of the morph.

What morph is his mother, because she doesn't look like a normal.
Have you bred him to her? If not, you should..

Cool mojos!

Thanks for the nice comments. I do plan to breed the striped mojave back to his mom. She is a CH (Captive Hatched) female that I hope to prove out.

Neat project you got going! Best of luck :)... eventually would like a pastave male when I get into.breeding hopefully by then I can get a striped pastave? Lol my way of saying hope it proves out somewhere along the line
