Nearing the end of guaranteed genetics. What will it mean to you?

This is one of the reasons I prefer Recessives. I also like the looks of most recessive stuff more as well. I'd take an ultramel pied, or ultra glow over any codom combo.

I dont know. That flatline is pretty amazing

I know that caramels throw a large proportion of slugs, I had not heard that about deserts. In fact, I didn't know that many desert females were even laying at this point?

I know there are problems with the desert females but I'm not sure if its slugs or no eggs or what.

You know what though. I gree with others who point to the excitement/discovery aspect of a mutiple gene male. You'll never know what is going to pop out of each egg, especially with a multiple morph girl. Plus more motivation to have normal girls just to prove out what is in the male. I kinda like the idea of not knowing what kind of combos the clutch may produce and being surprised by each hatchling.

Got to love random statistics.

Random? Lmao far from random. As anybody working with them. And i mean breeders. Without naming any names i know personally one of the biggest in the biz who has been working with deserts for 9 years and yes its a slug issue and before you say it yes deserts have been around that long. Now the desert combos are sick but they are being made with the males. If ya have any questions about desert females just ask the ones who work with them alot. I wouldnt vuy a desert female if someone offered it to me for 100 bucks

Even if its a 50/50 chance on slugs or eggs thats still to much of a gamble on an animalcin that price class

Don't we already have a couple threads in the quarantine room for debating desert and caramel reproduction and genetics? :rolleyes:

Uh oh, we've got the beginnings of another desert thread.. lol..

An afterthought to my previous post. Not only would normal females be useful for just proving out a 5+ gene male, but you could still make multiple gene combos w/o a morph female. I think this could raise the value on breedable normal girls. Especially those massive ones that throw 10+ eggs in a clutch. I think that if there is a proliferation of many-gene bps in the market, it only makes the market better and more fun. Maybe it could reduce the bottom line for those just looking to make money, but from a hobby standpoint, it seems exciting to me.
