Ok, so I met with my breeder the night we picked up my spider and one of my larger female normals. I asked the breeder to bring along the mojave male/female pair he had because we were considering picking up a male (and possibly another female if we really liked her) so anyway long story short the breeders wife was holding the bin that had the mojos in it while we looked at the two snakes we were already getting for sure. She had set the bin down on the floor board of their SUV without the lid secured and one of the mojos got out, they spent the next several hours trying to get it out of the dash board. So we told the breeder we had to think about whether or not we wanted the mojo male right now (not knowing it was the male that got trapped in the dashboard) So several nights ago we ask the breeder to take another look at the male and sure enough it was the male that was trapped in the dashboard. He was in shed but had some obvious damage to his scales, hoping it would look better after the shed we took him home for QT and crossed our fingers he would be ok with minimal to no damage..
Sadly, tonight we see him post shed and it looks as though he lost a few scales after his fight with the dashboard.. were hoping it isnt too obvious as he grows but we know chances are its going to stay the way it is now... We chose to keep him anyway and the breeder made right by refunding some of our money, we had the option to get a complete return on him but we chose not to....
So without further adieu... Here is our male mojo who will hopefully make us babies in new year, Dash, as in dashboard... aka Thursday
and the damage eekk... you can see it in the first picture also of his body shot.
Hes very jumpy/nervous... when I was done with the pics he was tucked away in his enclosure to be left well enough alone for awhile.. im hoping with time he can trust the Godzilla like people who pulled him from the SUV dashboard... wish us luck with him.
