Hi Ron,
I want to buy one of your snakes and I'm curious about the parentage and designation.

You have 2 babies, 1 is called a Mojave and 1 is called a Normal. Both have a Mojave father and a Normal mother. Why is one a Mojave and one a Normal?

Thanks loads,
Debbie

Mojave's are co-doms. Half the clutch are normal, the other half Mojave. The super version of a Mojave x Mojave breeding produces a super Mojave or Leucistic (white snake w/ blue eyes). Mojave's are concerened morphs whereas the normals are not.

Hope this helps. Smile

Okay, I think I'm getting the genetics thing. But, I'm still dense here; how do you look at a snake and visually tell if it's a mojave or a normal?

Okay Ron, I just read over the "Ball Python Gods....." posts and I guess I need some flash cards. You know, the kind with a picture and words underneath saying "this is a ........ from a ......" I get the form, just not the picture.

Guess I better buy a book on breeding Embarassed

:o I think I know what the problem is! Mojaves are a bit hard to tell from normals in pics! Mojaves have no black on them! Very Happy

Did I get it?

I haven't seen one yet but I fugured that since when I try to take pictures of my art they come up...not the same it should apply to bps as well.

This for instance, looks much better in person. Especialy when I move that string out of the way...

It's 6:13 a.m and you got the saliva runnin' with that last post, Ron Applause

Thanks for sending me to your blog. Now I have more reading to do. I'm spending more and more time researching. I'm now up to 1 RTB, 1BP - 1 up-coming BP from you, and 1 up-coming Dumeril's. I'm turning into a snake addict Exclamation

Good thing my mother moved out Twisted Evil

He's listed as a Normal - Dad is a Mojave, Mom is a Normal

His sibling is listed as a Mojave; hence all my questions about Why?
