What I wouldn't do to get my hands on...

a Mojave and a Lesser Ball Python. From what I've seen, these patterns are the most striking of all ball python patterns. I got this picture off of an Ad from VPI.See the top snake whose pattern fades rapidly down the sides? That is the Lesser. The Mojave is the bottom left snake. I love the dark dark browns and the key hole patterns on the side. There is also a slight fade that happens down the sides.
This other snake here on the right is actually a product of the two snakes- a blue-eyed luecistic. Isn't that interesting that two totally unrelated patterns would produce an all white snake with strange blue eyes?
I have a 5 year goal of producing a Mojave Lavender Albino. Would that be the sweetest thing? To my knowledge, I don't think any exist currently.

I really like the Mojave. Do you know where they got the name from? There is a Mojave Rattlesnake that is one of the most toxic Rattlesnakes in the U.S. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Mojave Rattler maybe looking simmilar, it would be interesting to find out.

I hope you reach your goal, this has been a fun experience and I appreciate your including me in your hobby
