Take a look at it's belly. It should be white (REALLY white by comparison to a normal) - possibly creeping up the sides.

The areas on a normal that are brown won't really be brown on a mojave. Instead, it will be appear to be a mix of brown, gray, and purple. Mojaves have a very smooth looking base color - not a lot of speckling at all.

A mojave should stick out like a sore thumb next to a tank of normals. If you get there and are still unsure - forget about it. Walk away. Unless the animal stands out and you just can't resist I wouldn't spend the money. You've got less than 0.09% chance it is anything other than a "nice normal".

Save your money and buy that Pastel at a show... your wife will be blown away by that next to your normal (maybe enough to change her mind a little).
