Pure speculation but I'm guessing that the homozygous Mojave might be a blue eyed leucistic with a faint yellow stripe. I believe this animal will look a lot like a super phantom and a super lesser platy. I THINK that those three genes MIGHT all be alleles - slightly different mutations of the same gene if not out right the same gene all together (I think platy daddy might have a 2nd hypomelanistic mutation on top of lesser platy). Perhaps any cross involving phantom, lesser platy, or Mojave could create leucistics.



Again, this is pure speculation. However, I think the sudden jump in the price of mojaves this summer was the result of others thinking the same thing (doesn't make it so though). With any possible co dominant (as opposed to proven completely dominant) mutation once you have one pair the quickest way to increase the number of supers you can produce is to add more females hence there is a higher demand for them. If Mojave isn’t proven co-dominant with a spectacular super soon then females will fall to be lower priced than males as I believe is the case with the suspected completely dominant spider mutation.



Anyone care to fess up as to if any eggs from Mojave X Mojave have been hatched yet and what the outcome was? With small clutches a super could easily be missed but eventually enough will be produced that one will be expected and missed if not yet seen.
