About

The Mojave Ball Python is both a colour and pattern altering morph that is easily recognisable by intense flaming and the “keyhole” structure of the “alien heads” usually found in a Normal Ball Python. The name Mojave comes from the location it was first discovered and bred, on the West coast is the Mojave.

History

The Mojave ball python was first reproduced in captivity in 2000 by The Snake Keeper (TSK). They had aquired the orginal Mojave from a local wholesaler in '99.

Only one Mojave Ball Python has been found in the wild as of yet, meaning every Mojave in the hobby is a descendant of this one animal.
