Desert male or female?..

[mumps]

I am in the same situation. I'm really geared up for obtaining a desert, and the male/female scenario opened up.

I figured by obtaining a male, it would be ready to reproduce a year sooner than if I got a female. I could mate him with multiple morphs (mostly dom/co-dom and combos), and retain the females I get from those pairings.

We're still relatively young in the desert combo game, so while they are still rather pricey, the options available to those who make the investment should certainly see a reward.

I personally just love the results I've seen so far and want to produce some of these beauties for myself.
