mojoxspider or mojoxmojo

My mojave male isnt ready to breed yet... my mojave female however is. I have a really nice male spider that i can pair with her or just give the male mojo a bit more time and see if hes ready by November or so. We have dropped temps in the racks and were just waiting to start pairing up. My other girl who we had hoped would have some eggs flopped on us and were crossing our fingers we will finally have some luck with breeding.. so what would you do?

Breed the female mojo to the spider or just wait it out and see if we can get the mojo male ready?

I personally think mojave spiders are nice looking animals. I'm personally doing mojo x mojo this year, and if I get my BEL will definitely be doing mojo spiders or pins. I personally would go with the spider and not place your eggs in the basket of the smaller male. Or you could rotate with the spider and the mojave and see what happens!

I gotta say i have a 320 gram mojo male, that i put with a female while i was cleaning tubs and that little bugger locked up with a 2100 gram pastel female i got lol, hes a horny lil toad. More power to him.:O

:) Thanks Matthew!

One of my dream snakes is the BEL which is why we got the pair in the first place but i know these snakes arent going anywhere either and there is always next year if we didnt hit BEL this year at all. I personally havnt been able to look at a mojospider and notice it being any different then a regular spider, but thats my ignorance im sure lol.. thanks so much for your input! I love this group, it sure helps an indecisive person a great deal :gj:

Hondo, my mojo male is bigger then that... hes just not producing the plugs :P

The mojo spider does have a nice "softness" to it that I really like. But in your situation, I would do mojo x mojo, hands down! Whether it's for hold back or selling, a white snake with blue eyes is a dramatic addition to anyone's collection!

I'd do mojo x mojo give him a month or two he'll be fine.

I weighed my boy and hes over 550grams... hes over a year old too (born 8-07) still has no plugs :weirdface

Ashley it is early yet, especially for us Floridians, and if you really want a BEL then wait it out a little while longer. When your male gets close to that 500 gram'ish range put him with the female and see what happens. Don't let plugs be a deciding factor, they can be a helpfull sign, but just because you don't see any doesn't mean your male won't breed and produce fertile clutches.

Start her out on the spider -- if your mojo gets to size throw him into the mix as well -- you could get a little of everything.

Like Kevin said -- it's still early so give it time.

Good luck! :gj:

Just saw this after I posted last reply, but again don't stress about the plugs. Put him with your girl or put him with a normal girl for "practice" and see how he reacts.

ok, I thought if they didnt have plugs it meant they wouldnt produce... I have no problems putting him in with other females too, were planning on doing some spiders, mojos and pastels this year, going spider to pastel isnt going to happen this year unfortunately, my girl is just too small. Thanks for the reassurance, its hard to remember not everyone is down here in tropical paradise, were still cooking in the 90s everyday! Ive started cooling my racks though already in hopes to get things going on time... no one is locking up right now either... we have had a TON of rain and no one seems at all interested.

If your mojo male is 550g then I'd definitely give him a shot! As for the mojospider, they do look fairly similar to normal spiders, but have a softer richer look to them that definitely sets them apart. I've only seen hatchlings, so have no idea what an adult would turn into but. But they're definitely nicer looking than regular spiders IMO.

Breed your spider to her, then if Matthew gets 2 super mojaves and you get 2 mojave spiders you could trade one of each to each other. ;)

Hey, now that's not such a bad idea! :cool:

Me personaly, I would DEF go with the mojoXmojo- but maybe causeI just love those BELs... lol..

Personally if were me, I'd do the mojo X mojo breeding. Not that mojave spiders aren't gorgeous, they are, but I think the super mojaves are just as nice and I would prefer to have one of those in my personal collection as a future breeder. I'm tired of producing a lot of 'normal' looking snakes.

Oh, and a lot of times they don't start producing plugs until AFTER you've had them breeding for a bit. Sometimes they just need incentive to get the juices flowing.

Thanks guys!! I will certainly give them a go!

Good luck man! I know the BELs are hot with a lot of people but a mojo spider is still a pretty nice genetic mix to have. Just think mojo spiderXpastel! Gets you a huge range of baby possibilities pastel, mojo, spider, mojo spider, mojo pastel, mojo spider pastel (mojo bee?) bees, Those would be some amazing clutches! Just means you might have to wait a year or two lol. Good luck either way!

Thanks Adam, were going to see how things go closer to thanksgiving :gj:

Oooo Anything would be lovely! I love love BEL but mojo spiders rock too! I can see why its hard to decide!:cool:
