Desert male or female?..

[BAMReptiles]

For me it all depends on what I already have and what I plan to produce. Figure out what would fit into your plans better. Maybe you want to make a desert clown, then it would be better if you got a female. Maybe you want to make a pastel desert, then it would be best if you got a male.

If it were me, I'd get a female.

for a desert clown you would most def want a male, not a female

the females take a good bit longer to reach breeding size than your average ball python.

if you got a male you could breed to a female clown, take one of her desert het clown sons back to her/another clown and possibly have desert clowns within 3ish years

if you got a female you'd have to wait at least 3 years before you could put a male clown to her then have to wait another 3 years to breed a female desert het from that clutch back to the father/another clown

not to mention if you had a male desert you can plug him into all kinds of other morphs along the way
