    Desert female breeding issues.

    I recently bought a male Desert Pinstripe which I will be breeding,initially, with a normal female. I understand about the issues with Desert females and breeding so I was wondering if this issue will affect all of the females from this pairing?
    I am assuming that the Desert gene is an incomplete dominant with no super form or is heterozygous dominant. So if I get a female baby that does not have the desert gene (at least 50% are likely to not have it) does that also mean they wont have breeding issues?

    Cheers

    Re: Desert female breeding issues.

    The fertility issues are tied to the desert gene. Females with the desert gene (including combos) are affected . Females without the desert gene should be fine.

    only the females that hit the desert-gene have the issue, all others are fine. So when breeding desert, expect 75% snakes you can breed, and 25% of non-breedable female deserts.

    And since female deserts don't produce good eggs we'll never know if desert is dominant or co-dominant.

    Thanks guys, I had hoped the non Deserts wouldn't be affected.
