Mystic vs mojave?

I have a pair of mojave but I recently found an add for a female mojave so I bought it and when I met up with the guy he said it carries the mystic trait. I know mystic and mojave are two different snakes so I'm wondering if he sold me a mystic thinking it was a mojave seeing as he didn't really knew what he was talking about. What are easy ways to determine a mystic from mojave?

That my friend is a good question, I am not sure what mystic trait he is talking about. And honestly, it is really hard to tell them apart, at least for me. I have seen Mojos and mystics side by side before and there is almost no difference, but taking to other breeders, I have been told that they are easier to tell apart at birth, and you have to separate quickly. But if it was sold to you as a mojo, I would say it is a mojo then.

A mystic mojave is a mystic potion, which is a purple snake with lighter dots. It can't be a mojave "with the mystic gene" without being a mystic potion. My guess you got a normal mojave and the guy doesn't know what he was talking about.

I know that they are different I was just thinking he didn't know weather it was a mystic or mojave.

That could be the case, either way, breed to a Mojave and that will give you your answer

Super easy to tell. Mojaves are a darker snake usually with a yellowish striping down the back, mystics are just more blushed out on the sides and lighter colored. If you post a pic we could probably help you out more.

First pic is a mojave, second is a mystic. Like I said, super easy to tell the difference.

Huh... yea that's obvious which is which. Thanks for giving the comparison nick. Hmm, maybe it's just been a while since I have last compared the two. But as nick said, post a pic and we shall see what we can do

Okay so I took them out back to take pictures and it's very obvious they are different.
