    Mystery "Rescue", Hypothesize Morph With Me!

    Got a little boy on facebook. His parents got evicted, they were selling their collection for cheap. This little fella caught my eye! (New to imgur, apologies if this doesnt work)

    I saw this and thought he was a mystic potion of some sort. The owner was asking 150 for him, including tank and supplies. I would have paid that for a normal, and was more looking to fill a spot in my house with the first python that came along instead of going for a specific morph, so I happily accepted. Getting there, she told me he was a Mojave. I asked what else he was mixed with, if she knew, but she was adamant that that was the only thing in him. Also looking at him, hes not gray/lavender like youd expect from a mystic, hes a toffee/caramel colour.

    In different lighting/backgrounds though, he appears wildly different.

    Apologies for the photo spam, ive just never seen a bp so terrible at being photographed. His Dorsal stripe is a very clear bright white, and his body goes from a light brown colour to a bright white belly. Im also curious about the strange patterning down his sides, they dont have that normal mystic circle texture, and near his head they combine into one stripe. Husband and I have been scratching our heads over this kiddo.

    Id love to breed him and figure out some genes, but hes got a strange case of bug eye im not sure id like to pass on. Maybe hes just dehydrated? He came to me with a ton of rat bites, stuck shed, and bone dry enclosure, but past that he seems pretty healthy. The eyes stick out much more than my previous bps, but owner says she thought that was normal, and bought him like that. Sorry for the entire book, cheers and TYIA!!

    I'll leave the morph hypothesizing to those more qualified. I will say you have a beautiful boy and a photographer's eye, so there's no need to apologize for the photos you post. Also, sounds like your boy's really been through it, so kudos to you for taking him in.

    Congrats on the new baby!

    Mystic potions can vary in color quite a bit. Some are a bit more than than others, but that patter does look like there may be something else along with Mojave and mystic.
    Otherwise, maybe they had a very nice mystic crystal. Mystic and special. But without any other info it's a bit difficult to say.

    Also edit: I just saw that darker looking photo. Boy does this snake change color on you alot! He really is a bit of a mystery to me.

    I’m leaning more towards lesser specter fire or a lesser fire cinny. Either way that’s one awesome BP.

    With the eye stripe demarcation I'm less inclined to think Cinny specifically is in there. Very strong blushing that overtakes the darker shade + very small side pattern I would agree there is something in there along with a BEL morph that is really adding to those factors though. Mystic Potion + some darkening gene would make sense to me, Lesser Fire + some darkening gene would too. I'm leaning more towards the latter since the dark portions don't have a stronger darkness at the very edges like Mystic tends to have compared to a Lesser.
