    Re: What does this look like?

    That's the thing, he wouldn't tell me the supposed genetics. He said the breeder told him to sell them as normals for $30, so he can't tell me what the sire was or he could sell them for a lot more. He said he was only selling them as normals, but he guaranteed that if someone wanted to take the time to breed him back to his daughters, they would produce visuals. I normally would just laugh and walk away, but I really liked this guy and I respect the seller, so I grilled him for a while and bought him. Only time will tell, if this project doesn't get pushed aside.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    Re: What does this look like?

    You didnt get them from a breeder in Ca did you? I got 2 girls sold as normals with the same back story from someone at the sac show. Didnt care if they turned out to be normals, figured they were pretty enough to be an interesting dinking project:







    These two out of the clutch have VERY high gold and interesting belly markings(especially the first one). Both females
    Ball pythons: 1.2 pastel, 1.0 Black Pastel 1.0 mojave(green) 0.1 spider, 1.0 het pied, 1.0 het clown, 1.1 het albino, 0.1 pos het albino, 1.0 shatter, 0.2 normals, 0.1 reduced pattern, 0.3 dinkers
    Corn snakes: 1.0 blood, 0.1 het blood, 0.1 snow, 0.0.1 reverse okeetee
    Geckos: 2.1.2 crested gecko, 0.0.1 leopard gecko
    Boas: 1.0.1 sand boas

    No, these were in Illinois, and all he had were males. If they were females I would have grabbed a few of them since they all looked nice.

    If he's healthy and feeding, $30 is a great deal for any ball python, IMO...

    Re: What does this look like?

    Dude, This is what its all about! Breed that male to a few girls. That gives you 3-4 years of Hoping its something! I'm not saying it is something. But Imagine if it proves? Thats Golden.. Thats 3-4 years that kept you Happy and excited about YOUR animal! And Ball Pythons... If it proves to be normal? Thats still a plus! It kept YOU in the hobbie for 3-4 more years With a GOAL! WIN WIN in My book! NOW JUST DO IT!

    Re: What does this look like?

    Seems fun enough.. who knows, you might get some orange ghosts or albinos or something crazy. If you feel like it, I'd breed him to a normal female, and then holdback his daughters and breed him to them. Who knows?
    But as for knowing what it looks like; hets for snakes like ghosts, albinos, etc. look normal. So appearances really aren't important unless you were trying to prove out his traits (he seems pretty "chrome-y" with little yellow) then appearances don't matter in that department.
    I think that you're at least going into it with the right attidude; if he is simply a normal and you get normies out of him, you don't mind, and that's cool.

    Ball pythons:
    0.1 normal; 1.1 albino. 1.0 pied; 0.1 het pied; 1.0 banana.

    Re: What does this look like?

    most people that sell snakes that are poss hets as normals. are selling them because they are 33% pos pos het for god knows what. the odds are you are going to gain nothing but breeding training out of this. wich is good but i bet dollors to mole hills( i think that is how that saying goes) you will end up in the end with a ton of normal snakes. i for one would not waste my time. but if you are in it for the pure joy of proving out a pos pos morph go for it. keep us posted through the next 7 years. LOL if i am coming off mean i relly dont want to. i just hate to see a person with there hopes in the clouds with a project that most of us would not reccomend. you best bet is to go at least buy a 1.1 of what ever morph you have your heart set on. most people will even give a free het male with the buy of a het female.
