Has desert female breeding got anywhere?

[Emilio]

I wondered the same thing about the sub-saharan giants.

I'm in full agreement with you on this idea also.

Last year pro exotics posted their theory of lower temps during ovulation hopefully someone is testing that theory since they can't. i guess bush league breeders will start up the yearly debate again and we can find out this years results from the larger breeders

Well its time for me to eat crow...anyone have any salt...
He did the cooler temp idea with an 08 female over 2000g and got the same results as everyone else....all slugs
I feel for his loss and for the Reptile Community as a whole. For all you that said lower temps wont help and I argued with you I apologize. You were right and I was wrong.
John my sympathy goes out to you.
I read the post on the BLBC.

Despite my naysaying attitude on this subject, I am sorry it didn't work out. Deserts are such beautiful BPs, and only being able to get combos from the males is unfortunate

Sorry travis, i was hoping someone would be able to crack the desert problem. There are so many amazing combos with the desert.
I hope someone can get some eggs from them

I think the resolution to the problem is just going to have to be breeding male deserts to make your combos, and the female offspring will be amazing show pieces in there own right. Its not the best solution but it keeps the morph going. The combos are endless just will take someone a little more patience to get it right since the desert gene can only be carried in the male. The light at the end of the tunnel is still there just not what everyone wanted it to be.

Kind of the reptile equivalent of the paper weight...purty but kinda useless...

Really? Does a ball python HAVE to breed and reproduce in order to have value? Or does every loved pet ball python (including my own, as I am no breeder) have no more value than a paper weight?

Interesting...

So will we see the price of desert females drop dramatically, and males rise?

Well, if that is the case, then you can call me a paper weight collector since I have a rack full of males with no intentions of breeding them
