Mojave X Mojave should statistically produce:

25% Normal
50% Mojave
25% Blue-eyed Leucistics

Mojaves are a codominant heterozygous morph, with Blue-eyed Leucistic being the homozygous form. That is also why a Mojave X Normal breeding will statistically yield 50% Mojave and 50% Normal offspring.

As far as I have heard, Mojaves do not carry a black-eyed leucistic trait; you need to have a Fire X Fire breeding to get those (there are other crosses as well that will produce these).

Mojaves are also not the only morph that will produce blue-eyed leucistics. I don't know how many different codom morphs have been proven to produce the blue-eyed leucistics when homozygous, but the list keeps growing. Ralph Davis has some more information on his website about this.

Good Luck!
