You're ignorant for writing what you have since you don't understand the gene or what it looks like. To say that you wish failure so that our "company line" is cut is foolish. You continue to be WRONG :colbert:
And this pompous attitude affirms my opinion.

Jake,
Sorry for confusion... only the snake in the second photo is a Desert. IF the top photo animal actually looks that good and it wasn't a poorly colored/lit photo it is a great looking Citrus Pastel but certainly not Desert.

Sorry, didn't mean to be confusing about it.
Mike how many animals have bred over the years? Never missed on odds? Ever had a clutch of normal hatching? If you never did, you are either VERY lucky or have not produced enough clutches.

Incredible odds really. Having said that I have had several big 10 - 12 egg clutches produce only one morph when my odds were 50% on each egg. Just now I am hatching an 8 egg clutch of pied het albino x albino and I only produced 1 albino. :tears:

It affirms nothing since my "pompous attitude" is stating FACT. That FACT is that the animal IS a Pastel Desert. Your opinion doesn't count because your opinion is WRONG. Call me any names you'd like, wish animals dead and breeder's to fail... FACT remains that you're wrong.

Re: Big News Coming Tomorrow!
I heard from another person who read another forum which then was referred to by his sister in law (forgot the link) that the NSA and the IRS are behind the Great Desert Conspiracy.
I realize that without the link, my word means nothing, but trust me, I know everything there is to know about reptiles because I sit behind my computer all day and read about them from other people who sit behind their computers all day who also read about them. Except for the porn breaks here and there, I absorbed everything there is to know about things I have no experience with.
So without knowing a thing about the gene, without owning one, without ever really breeding a snake and with only a rudimentary understanding of snake reproduction in general, it is an immutable fact that all Desert Females are programmed genetically to die when bred. Anyone who thinks otherwise is perpetrating a scam.

It is upsetting to see someone with so much "good" rep on this site being so negative. Not believing in something is one thing, which I think we can all respect.
However, hoping something will die is not the way to prove your point. This is, or should be a community based on the respect for life. This is why there is so much "negative" grease on this thread in the first place. Take money out of the picture, these are animals lives that we are talking about. People are going to do what they want, but plain out stating you hope it dies is just cruel.
For the sake of the desert gene, I hope the eggs hatch, and we see very healthy desert babies. I also hope that the OP keeps the girls back, and tries it again.
I also hope, that those with female deserts wait and see what plays out. Also, those with female deserts should understand that they are playing with fire, and should be ready at the drop of the hat with available finances and time to take care of the girl if complications arise.
I restate my original end, Congratulations to the OP, and good luck.

This is pretty cool news! :gj: Good luck OP, I hope that the eggs come to term and that that beautiful gene is given a new life in our hobby :)

I'm also confused. Isn't the top picture the OP's girl as a baby? Sorry I don't have time to surf the whole thread again.
