What morph is this?

Forgive the title, I had to :D.

I saw this snake at a show this weekend, and I need some confirmation. It was being sold as a mojave, but I've never seen a mojave with faded eye stripes and lacking so much purple and yellow at such a young age. It also only had one "mojave marking," and the rest were floating circles. It looked very cinny-ish to me. I asked the breeder and he said he just stuck a mojave to a bunch of normal girls, which still has me wondering.

Note the faded eye stripes.

The only "mojave marking."

A "normal" sibling.

Am I crazy and this is a plain ol' mojave and that sibling is a normal, or are there some cinny genes in there?

The only hint of cinny is the light head.
Otherwise no, looks like a Mojave to me.

purple??? my mojo didn't have any purple on him? Looks like a normal mojo to me. Actually a nice example for me I like the lighter more lesser looking mojos.

Mojaves seem to have a sort of purple tint to them to me. Maybe not purple, but not completely brown. These mojaves were at a different table, and the purple I mean is that color on their sides.

I guess this guy was just a different looking mojave than I'm used to. :rolleye2:

I just don't see it but I will surely keep my eyes open at the Anaheim show next month. I honestly never look at the mojos at shows. Im always too busy looking for my next addition. lol.

Maybe I'm the only one who calls it purple lol. It seems to disappear in older mojaves, but the sides of younger ones don't usually look like there's only brown in there to me.

I see what you mean with the purple. The one you pictured looks like a mojave to me.

I have mentioned to several friends of mine how much I like how purple my large female mojave is. They always tell me I am crazy. Then I remind them I am partially colorblind. It makes me really happy to see that I am not the only one who sees purple on a mojave.

The first snake you showed is a mojave, the second one which you called a normal appears to be a cinny to me.

My mojo is green

That 'normal' sibling does look like it might be cinnamon? I don't suppose you have better pictures of it?

Your mojave looks like a mojave, whether or not there's something extra in there I don't know. The only way to really know is to breed it and see what you get.

I don't have a better picture of the "normal" sibling, but I thought it looked pretty cinny-looking. It made me think the mojave could have been a combo but I didn't want you guys to REALLY think I was crazy! :O I know NERD has a mojave cinny in their gallery, but it doesn't look anything like I'd expect one to look and I couldn't find other pictures.

Hey all. I actually bought this snake at the show, haha. once I saw him here I had to join the forum. He's a really nice mohave, and definitely has a unique look to him, almost Lesser like. It's cool that he got 2 pages of posts without me even showing him off! Haha! He got a great response from other breeders at the show as well, I'm super pleased with him. I'll attach some photos for you all in a new thread in the pictures section--please let me know what you think of him! He's my first mojave and was a steal! Thanks again, it's still surreal that he's up here, haha.

Cheers,
-Matt

P.S. Hopefully we'll know for sure if there is anything Cinny going on with him (doubtful but it'll add some excitement and anticipation to the clutch!) this season!

P.S.S. The pictures are up in the pictures section!

Cheers,
-Matt

Don't worry I see the purple in young mojos too :D
