Hey There,

I can't seem to find the photos in your gallery but here's my opinion.
It depends on what your looking to get the snake for.

My personal opinion would be to get the Mojave.

Mojo's are cool looking snakes, and they tend to keep their color pretty good where as butters, and lessers will lighten up and lose some contrast usually.

Both are dropping in prices this year.

In my area you can expect to pay around the following for a 2012 hatchling.

Mojave
M- 250-350
F - 350-450

Butter/Lesser
M -350-400
F - 400-450

There are simply more Mojaves kicking around because everyone was in a mad dash to make Purple Passions and mystic potions.

For adults your Looking at between 1000-1300 for females.

I'm partial to Mojaves...but of course...I just got one. So I should be. It really depends on whether you'd rather have a darker morph or a lighter morph. I'd go by which animal had the cooler pattern if you are really torn. Or get both if one is male and one is female. Then you've got BELs in your future.

They should be one there now I also labeled them.

what are you looking to do with it? Do you want it as a pet, or to breed?

The Mojo is very dark, which isn't a bad thing if you have specific plans for it. It's hard to tell with the lighting in that picture as to how nice the color is on that butter but it looks solid. How much are they asking for them?

Was looking to bread them the butter is 375 and mojave 275

Was thinking about breeding one of them with my coastal carpet

Personally.. for breeding.. errr.. lol I would go with the butter only because the mojo's yellows are very dark and faded and his pattern is pretty broken up on his spine.
Not something I would look for in a Mojo.

The butter looks pretty bright and contrasted, I would go with that.

Sounds good. The butter it is, I hope I can get them two to breed. I think they would make some sweet hybrids

[218ReptileRescue]

I think the butter with my coastal would make some good looking hybrids

I'm not sure how advisable trying that pairing would be...
