Looking at all of the different snakes out there, I have wondered the same for many types. Even looking at the pictures its hard to often see a clear difference

Mojos got more blushing around the key holes/flames

Compared to the alien head patten of the normal

If you breed a mojo to a mojo you will get a blue eye Lucy / super mojo
Also if you breed a mojo to a lesser you will get the same

Mojaves are rather like paler normals - sepia and beige as opposed to black and gold. And with the blushing, as above. I understand some can be quite yellow, but I like the sepia ones.

When I enquired about my dinker, Surahi, I was told that she resembled a Mojave (at that point I didn't even know how to PRONOUNCE 'Mojave' - I was sort of, eh? What?) The difference from a normal was obvious and since she shed she has been even more stunning but photographs in artificial light don't show her to best advantage; this summer, if we get any, I'll try and photograph her outside as Mrs A82 did with her Mojave.

I think they're a very underrated morph - once you see one in the flesh you fall in love. If I could have one morph I'd be torn between Mojave and pied. And of course Mojaves are becoming popular with the morph breeders, I believe, because of all the permutations you can create with them (but I'm not an expert in that field so I'll stop there lol.)
