Although I love the combos Deserts make, the problem lies when the combos become indistinguishable and we are left guessing what things are. I personally think Deserts are extremely overpriced considering the maternal issues they present. Females should be $50 normals in my opinion. I'm not trying to discredit those breeding or selling them by saying so, but the evidence shows females cannot reproduce. I would be upset if down the road I picked up a nice combo female that turned out to have the desert gene in the mix.
