    How can you be sure? Mojave or lesser?

    Well lately with the potion craze, I have seen some mojaves for sale that look more like some of my lessers. Is there a way to be sure what your getting is a Mojave and not a lesser. They look almost the same with a wide variation of colors in both morphs.

    I think mojave and lessers look totally different.
    Mojaves are a dark brown with only a little yellow and lessers are light brown(gold) with lots off yellow.

    Mojave:


    Lesser:

    Mojaves and Lessers are nothing alike now Butter and Lesser however that's another story.

    I don't see how can one would misrepresent either one.

    Just look at the sides, totally different! The "alien heads" are more yellow on the Lessers and the Lessers are a lighter brown.

    Re: How can you be sure? Mojave or lesser?

    Don't get me wrong I have always been able to tell them apart its just that I have seen several adds advertising Mojave when it really looks like a lesser to me. I guess ill just stay away from those adds.

    I admit there are some really low quality Lessers that look like Mojave's in photos.. But you'd be able to tell for sure if they were next to each other in person.

    Here's my Mojave and Lesser girls together. Very different.

    Thanks for the comparison pic. Your Mojave is a looker. I'm looking for a big Mojave girl like yours. Haven't found the right one yet.

    Mojaves that look like lesser; awesome animal. Buy it.
    Lessers that look like mojaves; junk.
