Ball Python Mojave
Proven by:
Snake Keeper (2000)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 BlushingBlushing, on a ball python, is when you get faded patches along the dorsal area (or spine) or the sides. The pastel ball python shown below has evident blushing.">blushing & greenish undertones. Regardless of coloration, Mojaves all share reduced patterns with “teardrop” or “keyhole” LateralLateral refers to the sides of the animal.">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 MorphWhat is a morph?A morph is a genetically reproducible, visual mutation from the original animal.For example, the Spider ball python, has visible traits, that make it different from the standard wild caught (also known as "normal") ball pythons. This trait will also be passed down to approximately 50% of the offspring when crossed with a normal ball python.Such visual mutations happen randomly, in both, wild ball pythons, and those in captivity. When an interesting mutation is found, professionals, and even hobbyists, will try to prove such a mutation to be genetic, and in doing so, they can "prove" a new morph.Designer morphs, are the art of combining genetic morphs, to make a whole new design. The Bumble Bee is a designer morph, because it is the cross between a Spider ball python, and a Pastel ball python, making a snake that is purely a man-made creation.">morph.
The “Super” form is a unique ghostly patterned variant of Blue-Eyed Leucistic known simply as the Super Mojave Ball. It should be noted that a large number of MorphWhat is a morph?A morph is a genetically reproducible, visual mutation from the original animal.For example, the Spider ball python, has visible traits, that make it different from the standard wild caught (also known as "normal") ball pythons.

Breeding any two of these types together will produce a ‘Super’ form, all of which are loosely termed ‘Blue-Eyed Leucistics’.
