mojoxspider or mojoxmojo

Ashley it is early yet, especially for us Floridians, and if you really want a BEL then wait it out a little while longer. When your male gets close to that 500 gram'ish range put him with the female and see what happens. Don't let plugs be a deciding factor, they can be a helpfull sign, but just because you don't see any doesn't mean your male won't breed and produce fertile clutches.

ok, I thought if they didnt have plugs it meant they wouldnt produce... I have no problems putting him in with other females too, were planning on doing some spiders, mojos and pastels this year, going spider to pastel isnt going to happen this year unfortunately, my girl is just too small. Thanks for the reassurance, its hard to remember not everyone is down here in tropical paradise, were still cooking in the 90s everyday! Ive started cooling my racks though already in hopes to get things going on time... no one is locking up right now either... we have had a TON of rain and no one seems at all interested.

Start her out on the spider -- if your mojo gets to size throw him into the mix as well -- you could get a little of everything.

Like Kevin said -- it's still early so give it time.

Good luck!

Thanks Tosha!

Just saw this after I posted last reply, but again don't stress about the plugs. Put him with your girl or put him with a normal girl for "practice" and see how he reacts.

Thanks Kevin!!

Thanks Matthew!

One of my dream snakes is the BEL which is why we got the pair in the first place but i know these snakes arent going anywhere either and there is always next year if we didnt hit BEL this year at all. I personally havnt been able to look at a mojospider and notice it being any different then a regular spider, but thats my ignorance im sure lol.. thanks so much for your input! I love this group, it sure helps an indecisive person a great deal

Hondo, my mojo male is bigger then that... hes just not producing the plugs

If your mojo male is 550g then I'd definitely give him a shot! As for the mojospider, they do look fairly similar to normal spiders, but have a softer richer look to them that definitely sets them apart. I've only seen hatchlings, so have no idea what an adult would turn into but. But they're definitely nicer looking than regular spiders IMO.

Breed your spider to her, then if Matthew gets 2 super mojaves and you get 2 mojave spiders you could trade one of each to each other.

Hey, now that's not such a bad idea!

Me personaly, I would DEF go with the mojoXmojo- but maybe causeI just love those BELs... lol..

[MarkS]

Personally if were me, I'd do the mojo X mojo breeding. Not that mojave spiders aren't gorgeous, they are, but I think the super mojaves are just as nice and I would prefer to have one of those in my personal collection as a future breeder. I'm tired of producing a lot of 'normal' looking snakes.

Oh, and a lot of times they don't start producing plugs until AFTER you've had them breeding for a bit. Sometimes they just need incentive to get the juices flowing.

Thanks guys!! I will certainly give them a go!

Good luck man! I know the BELs are hot with a lot of people but a mojo spider is still a pretty nice genetic mix to have. Just think mojo spiderXpastel! Gets you a huge range of baby possibilities pastel, mojo, spider, mojo spider, mojo pastel, mojo spider pastel (mojo bee?) bees, Those would be some amazing clutches! Just means you might have to wait a year or two lol. Good luck either way!
