the newest addition to my menagerie

Meet "Dragon". He's a 2009 mojave ball with some weird partial striping going on. I found him at the Fins 'N Skins' sale today. There was another lighter colored mojave on the table with really wild patterns on his back, but the striping and silver tones of this one got me and I had to have him. I think he has just a tiny bit of a retained shed on the tip of his tail but that will resolve itself in no time here because my tubs keep humidity very well. I really like him and can't wait to use him in future breeding projects.






He actually went in with me when we went to the mall for lunch because I didn't want to leave him out in the car. Since they didn't give me a snake bag when I bought him, and I didn't want to carry in a small animal box to the mall he lounged inside my purse. He only peeked out once while we were there and thankfully no one noticed.

Gorgeous lol. I do that all the time but I put my snakes around my neck with a jacket and hair and still no one notices.

Thanks! I can't wait to show him to you. His colors are so pretty! I didn't realize just how much I liked this morph until I was holding one, myself. I'm looking forward to pairing him up with that female pastel when they're older and maybe get lucky and produce a pastave. That or just run him through all my normal females (and yours :pirate: if you aren't pairing them with something else at the time) and see if that striping is genetic. I think some striped mojaves would be beautiful. Okay, I'm going to stop gushing now.
