mojave or not?

[drew2420]

ok if you went along with paying for this snake and such (didn't continue reading thread cause it was ridiculous) so i don't know.
you were scammed and the worst part about it is you think you weren't! cmon your asking the "pros" as you stated. take their word no one here tends to lead people in the wrong way.
Why ask advice and not take it? There is NO HET FOR MOJAVE

ok drew, why post if youre just going to be a jerk. and only 1 and i repeat 1 person actually wrote the words ther is no het for mojave. i kept asking if ther was and people were saying all this scientific stuff that i dont understand. and if you would have read you would see i did take their advice and request a refund. thankyou for being stupid

it has been said numorous times that there is no het mojave, mojave is a mojave, nomal looking ball pythons produced by a mojave breedings are normals. Nothing more, normals. you would get 25% Blue eyed lucy, 50% mojave, 25% normal from a mojavexmojave beeding

this is the only person who answered my question and thankyou for that but i dont agree that it was said numerous time that ther is no het mojave because ive read everything over a few times and this is the first time its actaully said like that

The only reason people will telly ou to return it is because you said you wanted a mojave. That snake has no genes for mojave, so we would advise returning it. Since you said you want to keep it as a pet, then fine. You should be glad she is offering you a partial refund, since if she REALLY thought it was a mojave, she would not offer a partial refund at all. She knows it's a normal, and none of us want to see you deal with someone who is selling normals as mojaves.
For simple terms, a mojave ball python shows it's genetics in the colors and patterns of it's skin. It's a co-dom gene. If it has the mojave gene, it shows the mojave pattern and coloration. If it does not have the mojave gene, it looks like a normal, because it has NO mojave genes.
If you have a snake with TWO mojave genes, then it will show as a all white snake called a luetistic.
If you get a pastel from this same person, I would be very leery, and be sure to look for green eyes, and the pastel colors and blushing. Feel free to ask what signs to specifically look for, so you get a pastel, and not another normal. There is also no het for pastel, just like there is no het for mojave.
I hope this explains it, and I hope you enjoy your pet, as much as later on you may enjoy your morphs.

thankyou wolfy-hound. i read through the pastel identifying threda and ill make sure to read it again before i pick it out just to make sure ther is no other mixup

how much is she charging for the pastels? if your not sure i'd get a pic of the ones she has for sale first and post them here if you still want to buy from her. I wouldnt reccomend buying anything from her again but thats your choice

[austinr]

the pastels are $175

i have no problem buying from her again. i honestly think it was just a mistake. this lady and her husband have been doing this for like 15 years and have been featured more than once in reptile magazine and other magazines. they breed all kinds of reptiles out of their home here in chico and do business all over the country via retile shows and the internet. she told me the last show they did they sold over 180 balls morphs/normals so i dont think people at the shows would be buying from them if they were trying to rip everyone off. it wouldnt go un-noticed at a show dedicated to promoting reptiles

[Nagini88]

$175? Thats a lot. I got my male pastel for $150 2 years ago and now they're going for $75-125ish

would you be willing to pm me and tell me the place you get yours?

im trying to get a female too, dont they usually cost a little more?

cheapest ive seen was $100 for males and $200 for females and thats over the internet so shipping would have to be paid also
