Desert Lesser x Desert Spider female

i know. seemed like there was progress and then the fire ruined it.

I hope desert females prove fertile because I saw an add for $700.

saw one for 500 a 2012 hatchling... I just cant bring myself to buy a female even for 500...

You are very likely out of luck on your females.... I hope you plan to keep them or find an outlet for them as pets.

Furthermore, you REALLY need to do a lot more research, as it seems the mortality rate for Desert females during breeding is unacceptably high.

You do realize that Pro Exotics has lost their entire collection in a fire last year right?

As for holding back female desert there are many threads out there which will help you make the right decision I am sure.

I hope the person that sold you this male gave you the scoop on what is going on with the females.

This statement made me wonder, When exactly did people start thinking there were problems and when did the knowledge become public? How many years were these animals being produced/sold before research via internet would have given you any hint about female fertility issues? Even now you have to know what to search for, and where, to come up with any useful information. I think this is pretty sad seeing as the morph has been around for over 10 years. I think it's sad that as a buyer I'm expected to ask the seller, "so, what kind of health issues can I expect from this morph?", and get an honest answer. Something new comes around and the first priority seems to be $$$ most of the time.. /end rant
