    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Where did you come from??

Congrats on the beautiful snake John...these things are always full of surprises.

And on another note, I am now kicking myself for not being able to really get into fires.
 
Thanks for the comps all. The clutch has shed, so here are a couple of photos of the star of the show.







There's no denying what this one is



Classic Mojave



And this one I'm on the fence on. The blushing extends all the way past the side markings (unlike the previous one), and there is a slight yellowish tinge to it. I'm thinking Mojo Fire, but my eyes might be playing tricks on me. Opinions?

 
That last mojave isn't screaming fire mojave to me, the head is too dark. However, that is one smoking mojave! I'm a sucker for dorsal stripes and reduced side patterns.

And holy cow man, that fire mojave is one of the hottest snakes I've seen this year! I'm jealous!!
 
John, do you know what was the pairing that produced the mom of this clutch?
Congrats on the amazing baby. I love the pied belly reaching up the sides.
 
I think you hit the one wild smoking Fire Mojave. I have a Fire Mojo and the last one isn't anything close. Sweet clutch though!

Regards,

B
 
Thanks guys. Yeah, the last one is just a Hot Mojo, guess I was seeing what I wanted to see :D.

I got a response from Ralph Davis after asking for his opinion on what was going on with the star, his answer was:

I can see both traits.......and some "extra" for sure.......that's what
happens when we breed the "white snake complex" mutations.........there is a lot of stuff going on with these morphs that we have yet to figure
out........you just proved that again.........cool looking snake.

So it's going to be an exciting next couple of years, trying to reproduce this effect.

No idea Diego, I purchased her from Nick Meyers back in 2009. Guess I'll have to try to contact him and see if he has records.

So do you have plans for the new fire/moj yet? I'm thinking Vanilla!!!

I'm getting it sexed this coming weekend, so I'll know for sure it's plans once that's determined. If it's a male, he's definitely going to be bred back to momma to see what happens. Female - back to daddy the first year, and then the Vanilla track sounds promising!
 
I'm still amazed at how gorgeous this mojo-fire turned out! I love when an exceptional hatchling becomes even more amazing after the first shed. But there is no need to wait 'til the weekend to find out what sex he is. Fed Ex can have him here within 26'ish hours, and I'll tell you within minutes of him getting here...to his new home. :nuts:

Great Id.....ahhh, nice try paisan :NoNo::rofl:
 
To be honest, I've never even heard of Disco before you mentioned it. From what I'm reading, that's supposed to be a co-dominant trait very similar to the Fire. Is it possible that the Fire I bred her to is actually a Disco?
