I used to view mojaves as just a means to an end (that elusive white snake!); even after I got my first mojave girl, chosen specifically for her black-back pattern, I liked her but still wasn't hugely fond of mojaves in general ... They've gradually grown on me, though, and have started to become one of my favorite base morphs.

I think maybe the reason for that gradual appreciation is that their pattern isn't so extreme as to stand out amidst some of the crazier stuff (bumblebees, lucies, etc.), but when viewed in its own light, it's simply gorgeous
