thanks for putting up with another what morph thread lol

that second one is DEFINITELY NOT a mojave, and idk about the granite, but if he is trying to rip you off with the mojave then i would'nt buy from him any way. im 100% sure that's not a mojave though. here's a pic of my mojave for compairson..

most of them arent as dark as mine and look a little like lesser's though.

They look like normals, NO mojave and the granite is lacking in pics, but likely a normal being the seller can't tell the difference between a Mojave and a normal.

Miss represented on both counts in my opinion :mad:

Your pictures are too far into the red range, meaning the images were probably taken under tungsten based lighting and you didn't correct for the white balance. Check on your camera settings and change your camera to tungesten lighting, then it should make IDing them easier.

He said they're for sale, so it was probably the seller that took the pictures. Good tip nonetheless, though. ;) The first one does look like a granite, but that doesn't mean its a genetic granite. The second one is definitely not a mojave. Fixing the coloring on the camera isn't going to make it look like one either. I'd pass on this deal if I were you.

Can't tell if that's a true granite without seeing a pic of the top of the head, but it doesn't look like it ... the second pic is definitely not a mojave.

Run Forest, run!

...now I may be jumping to conclusions (shame on me) but check out the background in those photos...not very organized and clean....

...hope the snakes are being cared for in a cleaner fashion. :confused:

stay away from those.. first one could be a granite but i doubt it and the second one is for sure not a mojave. mojave's have clear bellies and that one from what i see and the lack of mojave colors too

I am definitely not the one to ID morphs unless I have a verified pic for comparison. But that second does not look much different than my $30 normal.

Great suggestion. Definitely not a Mojave & read the description for the Granite. It's hard to tell from these pics.

I actually went through the hunters guide before I posted. with the quality of the pics it was really hard for me to tell so I needed more opinions I totally agree the mojave is not a mojave just wanted to make sure befor I let him have it for tryin to rip me off. I like to be more then sure before I get mad
thanks for the help guys

ps no they are not my snakes and will never be now as I will be letting him know how I feel about selling crap as morphs

I did see the messed up room in the back ground also

That's a really good guide if you are already familiar with identifying morphs. I wish somebody would make one just like that except every time he says "unlike a normal" it would have a picture of a normal pointing out the difference. Just for comparison you know? If you are not an expert on the traits of a normal, how do you know what's different?

Definitely not a Mojave and if the seller says so, he is either

A# A liar
B# Complitely clueless :rolleyes:

Not the kind of person I would do business with.

I take that back, that site is freakin awesome because he has a TON of guides. The more of them I go through, the easier it is to see the differences. Bookmarked! Favorites!
