Do you have any other pics of that female, like when she was younger? I feel like a citrus pastel desert would be a lot brighter than that. Shooting from the hip, i'm gunna say it doesn't look like the desert gene is in that snake, and that's why she laid a viable clutch... This isn't something to joke around about either, not that anyone has been, because if that snake really doesn't carry the desert gene then people need to know. Otherwise you'll have everyone and their brother attempting to breed desert females and then killing their snakes.

Just my take on it, please don't take offense.

Yea, i'm really questioning it... The pastel desert on this page looks different than your female. A lot more blushing:

I think you just have a citrus pastel, no desert.

I wonder if it's like what they're theorizing, when you throw enough genes in there you override the effects of the genes (like in their case lethal combos). In this case fertility issues. Or maybe she's just a fluke fertile female. It'll be interesting to see what the babies turn out like, and then if those desert females will be fertile too.

It's definitely possible, most male calico cats are sterile but you will find some that are viable breeders. Same with mules, they are supposed to be sterile but some are breedable. It's like Jurassic Park, nature always finds a way.

This is definitely interesting! Also, I wasn't aware that female deserts were dying when bred. If that's true, that's nuts.

Looks like a Desert pastel to me. my 2 cents anyways.

This is a pic of the same snake from another thread.


I think the photo of the snake on eggs wasn't really taken with the greatest care due to eggcitment. Lol. And if the snake came from Amir (like it sounds to me) I would say, I would trust his judgement on if the desert in there. Just my .02
