Mojave ball pythons are highly variable - some are light, some are dark, many have brilliant gold-and-white pigmentation on a dark background, while others possess extreme blushing & greenish undertones. Regardless of coloration, Mojaves all share reduced patterns with "teardrop" or "keyhole" lateral blotches. First produced in captivity in 2000, Mojave balls were named for the desert near the home of Dan & Collette Sutherland - the original producers of this morph. In 2004, it was established that the "super" (homozygous) form of the Mojave is a white snake with faint silver patterning, dark eyes & a lavender-gray head - an exciting variation on the "white ball python" theme. Mojaves also cross well into other mutations, having been combined with Cinnamons, Ghost/Hypos, Pastels, and Spiders with lovely results! |
