I'm a newbie, but I believe the "Key hole" pattern vs. the normal "alien head" pattern makes it a Mojave. I like Mojaves. Plus, if you find a female Mojave/Lesser/Butter you could hatch out a BEL. It's a fair price for a nice snake. I end up driving at least an hour anytime I make a reptile related purchase, it would be awesome if someone would meet me halfway.
