I suppose I could be wrong, but the bottom one sure doesn't look like a noral. She pretty though.

Actually she is a high yellow normal female that photograghs extremely well. When I first took the pic I thaught it looked almost pastelish, but she is just a pretty normal.

Definitely one of the prettiest normal I've seen in a long time. Would be awesome to breed her to a nice pastel.

PS I think the top one in your pic looks pretty great too, kinda 30% mojave.

I just love that high yellow reduced pattern girl on the bottom 
I have one similar to her, and my roommate was taking pics with his new digital cam and brought it to me saying, "I didn't know you had a morph!" LOL Nope, just a very photgenic normal.

I LOVE the bottom one! At first glance I thought it was a pastel. Beautiful!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if the 'look' of the female on top wasn't genetic.
1.) broken neck stripe
2.) lots of fading on the sides
3.) faded head
And, maybe I'm wrong, but her patterning reminds me of Butters & Mojaves.
WHY?? She has a lot of the 'keyhole' type blotches often seen on Butters and Mojaves. (See cropped photo above)
Her colour is a different story though. She almost looks hypoxanthic.
Great lookin' snake.
Thanks for sharing.
