PostSubject: mojave   Thu Jan 05, 2012 1:12 pm

i have a chance to go get one of these guys for 275 and wanted to hear any opinions about them. id also like to know what makes a mojave a mojave? what should i see to tell me its mojave are there specific markings i should look for, or should it just look like all the mojo pics ive seen?
if you dont think i should get it let me know why not, ill have to go to toronto to get this one and thats an 8 hour round trip, if i should just stay home let me know why

Mojave is a co dom morph, nothing makes it. They are naturally found in wild as is and the super form is a blue eye lucy.

youd know if it was mojo just looking at it. Bright colors

i understand nothing makes it like you can make a calico bumble bee (cool looking)
i meant what makes it like markers or patterns. you say bright colors, ok. i kinda sat and thought what do i want to make, id like to make a blue eyed lucy so the mojo is a good start. i understand that making a bel isnt guaranteed but i think im gonna to a stab at it. ill let you know more when i do.

Just my. 02 worth, but male mojaves are easy to come by. When I started out keeping balls I didn't have a clear path as to what direction I wanted to go. I started collecting mostly males for several reasons. I realized after awhile that I should have been collecting females due to the time it takes to get them to breeding size/age.

Just a thought, but you may want to start by picking up females and when they get close to breeding size/age then get your males to breed them.

Just a note...although I have had numerous chances to pick up some nice male morphs, I have resisted the urge and continue to build up my females.

2 cents well spent my friend. i know i need females you are correct there but around here no morphs are easy to come by, two months ago i was on the hunt for a spider i like spiders and figured i had a male and female so it didnt matter what sex. the best i found was a baby for 500. where i live is a decent size city but not much love for herps around here. the reason i am seriously considering this deal is i would get the male mojo and a big normal so i could potentially make my own mojos this season. i have 2 normals together right now and plan on keeping all the females but it would be nice to have a shot at making my own female mojo as well.
nothing is locked up yet ill keep ya posted what ends up.

Understood. Can never go wrong breeding for your own females. Doing the same myself. Have 4to normal females going right now with different males mostly due to my female morphs not up to size yet.

Easy...get both.

My personal preference would be the lesser, but then I would really have to see them both before I decided. There really is a lot you can do with either of them.

As you are looking at breeding down the line for BELS either of those would work. I am actually going to breed my male butter het hypo to my female lesser to try for BELS once my lesser is up to size.

getting both is very tempting. i found a site that lists all the possibilities and the list for both the lesser and the mojo are both pretty awesome.
