Big News Coming Tomorrow!

For now, i'm still gunna go against the grain and say thats just a citrus pastel. Can't wait to see if any babies look like deserts though. Its a dominant gene so each egg has a 50% chance of getting the gene, correct?

I could be wrong though, considering i'd be arguing with a veteran breeder like amir, and what do i know lol.

Been waiting for some thing like this to happen for the gene. Don't you be BS'n poster

That pic looks awfully legit to me! :$)

I'm gonna have to agree with Mike. I don't see the Desert. I'm also kind of saddened by how this will impact the Desert market and probably result in the deaths of many more female Deserts as people try to replicate your results. Every glimmer of hope starts this ball rolling again. Maybe that's not a bad thing if this really is the time it works out, but I don't have high expectations given how this has gone in the past.

That aside, major congrats if you really are the first person to have a female Desert capable of breeding! Only time will tell how the clutch goes, right? I hope no matter what genes are at play, your babies are all healthy

I know this has been a touchy situation regarding the viable breeding of the female Deserts and I tell you this is not a joke or a funny in any way. I would not toss Amir's name into the wind at the sake of making some excitement due to the respect I have for him and what he does. That being said when I bought her I actually brought her back to him the next day, and he was willing to take her back due to my concerns. However, my son begged me not to return her and so i listened to his plea. That moment is what brought this moment to pass. When pairing began she was nearly 1600g and eating well. I initially paired her with my Pastel Calico first with scheduled pairing, and then I paired my Mystic. She went off feed and displayed signs of ovulation and later she shed. However, it was nearly a month and a half before she laid post ovulation shed. The pairings were with the Mystic and Pastel Calico in the pics within my previous thread. Enjoy, and ask away. I will be transparent as possible so all can benefit from this event.

Her house when I bought her.



The receipt..



The Lock (w/ Pastel Calico) Mystic wasn't observed, but he's proven.



Candled ....








I have a video of taking her off the eggs, but would need a little assistance for loading it.

Thanks, Joe

Do you have any baby pics/juvenile pics of her?

Subbbbbbed keep ys updated

[TheSnakeGeek]

while i'm not seeing the desert really either, i've never worked with desert and i trust amirs eyes more than mine. but if desert females do pop out you better hold them back and prove them out yourself. if they all prove viable this is gonna be a game changer.

[lingmeister]

Waiting for reply from Amir. If he doesn't get back with me by later in the day then I'll drop the bomb.

Please let me know!!!!!!!!! This is completely unfair to make us wait.... but I will!!!!!!!!!

[Kodieh]

Are we going to assume the possibility that it was just a REALLY REALLY bad example of desert? That it was just an absolute piss poor citrus pastel that makes it so dark?

I don't see the desert either, but I'll reserve judgement till those eggs hatch. Be spot on with your incubating, this will be revolutionary if it really desert.

The Pastel Calico she is locked with in the picture.



Her younger days as requested..
