Desert Morph, what are your thoughts?

Im considering getting into deserts, have a male line up, but just wanted to get opinions on the subject. Im familiar with the female fertility issue and it seems that the prices on this morph have been dropping. I think they are awesome and are key to making very sweet combos however I'm wondering if the demand for these guys is dropping (due to the presumed fertility issues) or if people are finding alternative similar genes to this morph and going that direction with their projects. Lets hear your thoughts, thanks.

I have one snd bred it and trust me, you sit on female deserts awhile

Of course the demand is going down...IMO not worth breeding the Desert gene...If you want one as a pet maybe...I wouldn't tie up any of my females with a Desert breeding.

I would consider a desert ghost before i would purchase a desert just because of the female problems. Unless the problems with the females get figured out. Same reason i will stay away from caramel albinos just going to wait until toffees get more affordable or they figure out the females issues. Yes deserts make killer morphs and they are very unique but the problems they have outweigh their beauty for me unfortunately.

Desert ghost is different from deserts.

:(I was afraid this wasnt going to go well

I love desert combos, and if you really like the look of them I don't see why it would be an issue. A lot of people are coming to terms with the fact that females are going to be "pet only" animals, but the pricing doesn't reflect it yet. You can still sell your males, and you get some pretty awesome looking snakes period

My boy is so beautiful, if u like them get a girl as a pet. Breeding them is sad when you get good odds but bits a female:(
