New Mojave?

[MS2]

I hatched a few of these peppered/speckled looking Mojave's. I haven't seen any other Mojave's that have this much speckling. This pattern keeps popping up each year, but this is the first time I've bred it into a morph. I'll post better pics after they shed. What do you guys think?




It could be nothing, but then again.....

I can't comment on the speckling but they look like nice Mojaves.

My mojave has a decent amount of speckling on it. Eithier way it looks really neat! what were the parents?

Cool beans! Does either parent have some granite in them?

Father is a Mojave and the mother is a 2009 "normal" I hatched from a pair a got from Ben Seigel back in 2001. She was a "cleaner" baby, but still has some spotting. I believe they were imports. For the past few years I keep getting peppered/granite looking babies. I finally decided to try to breed some morphs to them to see what happens.

Here's a pair of yellow bellies my brother hatched. The mother of this clutch has the same bloodline as mine. The one on the right has the peppered/granite thing on.


I don't know if it's a new granite type or something else, but I see a yellow belly to Mojave pairing in the future.

Yes, the mother. Not a ton of spotting, but the trait keeps reoccurring. This is the first year I put some morphs to the gene to see what happens. May not be a granite morph, but I think it's some kind of pattern changer.
