Big News Coming Tomorrow!

Why would they wait until the other clutches hatch? That makes zero sense to me. With something like this, why wouldn't you want to be able to claim you're the first breeder whose done this successfully? This is a HUGE deal. The sooner that they release info, the sooner it could prevent more desert females from being bred.

I am curious to see how this pans out... and there has been a lot of waiting involved.

I try not to check up on the thread too often so I don't go mental waiting to hear/see the results.

I happened to be standing at their table when they were asked about the clutch.

The reply was that they were healthy but they could not tell if any were positive DG's.... not that it was a secret, but they could not physically conclude there were any or not.

Wait DG's...? DG stands for desert ghost, doesn't it...?

So, it wasn't a desert.

I stand corrected.... meant Deserts. Sorry to get everyone's panties rustled.

whoa i just got so confused for a minute lol.

Ok so they said they couldnt tell if any of the babies were desert? Thats probably because IMO the desert gene wasnt in that dam. Did they ever answer my question of where they got their desert from? We know who the OP's citrus desert came from.

This is what Family Reptiles said on their facebook page when asked about the hatchlings " All babies have hatched and doing very well. We have been talking with other breeders of deserts and are not going say anything else until we more details on what we need to do next. Thank for all your support." Yet at the show they said that they could not identify a Desert in the clutch. So which is it? My comment to them was "With a comment such as your last one here it casts some serious doubt on the claims made. I am in no position to say what has happened but not a single question has been answered and you are now saying the babies hatched but you will not even show a picture of them to back this up? One single picture of them hatching and showing a desert in the clutch would stop most everyone from bothering you. I am now of the belief that this was all false based on your lack of communication on this." Both were made within the past 24 hours and there has been no reply at all from them. My mind is made up from this. I do not know how to link to the picture but if you search family reptiles on facebook you can find the pic and see the comments. All through out they said they would post pictures as soon as they hatched and then this.

Unfortunately this isn't Family Reptiles thread so you can't fault them for not posting updates here but judging by their coments on facebook I've lost my optimism about their clutch. I don't think they lied about anything but I have a feeling their girl might not be a Desert. Here is our Desert (PE line) at just under 1,000g. I just don't see the similarly.
