Mojave and Lesser are allelic, essentially different twists on the same gene, if you want lighter snakes, get a lesser, if you want darker snakes, get a mojave.

Someone else on the board can confirm but Its my understanding that a mojave x lesser pairing will give the cleanest BEL's.

So essentially, if you want the male to mate more then one of your females, choose the one that most appeals to you (lighter or darker) and make that your male, and make the female the opposite.
