mojave or not?

and when you say clear belly do you mean patternless or actually kinda transparent?

[Shadera]

Mojaves run $300+. Normal CBBs, depending on size go for $35+.

if she was going to sell you a mojave for 125$ well the by all means you should be getting a mojave.

the normal ball we purchased first was $65 bucks and that about the price i see them for everywher else.

this lady and her husband are awesome and hook my gf and i up with all kinds of great deals. im sure its just a case of mis-identification and she didnt purposly sell me the wrong snake

wouldnt it be great if she gave me my money back and let me keep the snake! haha probably wont happen like that but a partial refund or credit toward a snake of my choice would be good with me.

would i be able to mate him to 3 females or is 2 all i can do? cause i have a normal female right now and we are planning on getting a pastel and we want a mojave too. i was really wanting a male mojave so we could make the pastel mojave babies. thats the biggest upset for me to be honest.

You mentioned you are getting a pastel too... If I was you I would really take a good look at the thread for identifying pastels so you can make sure it is one before you buy it, ya would hate to end up in the same situation twice.

how much do mojaves usually go for? he was only $125

i wanna get my money back but i dont wanna give the snake back lol im gonna see if she'll take the price of a normal out of the $125 and put the rest towards the pastel i want

i paid $350 for my mojave last year and he was the nicest one at the show
how much does she want for the pastel? you can get male pastel for $100
make sure the pastel has green eyes.

She didn't make a mistake identifying it - it's clearly not a mojave. And anyone who owns or breeds mojaves would know it's a normal. Are you sure she didn't sell it to you as a "mojave sibling"?

It would still be just a normal, but sometimes people will advertise normals from co-dom/dom clutches as "pastel sibling", "mojave sibling", "pinstripe sibling" etc.

You either mis-understood what she was selling it as, or she intentionally took advantage of you being new to ball pythons and scammed you. You don't "mistake" a normal for a mojave.



The closest normal I have to looking like a mojave is this girl, who happens to be breeding my mojave this year. But she's also a normal as well:

exactly!!!

and let me add here that being "sister or brother" to a mojave without being a mojave means absolutely nothing! It is still just a normal.

I would ask for a full refund, and never deal with this person again.
