From what I've read, it was a male and produced soon after it was imported. No mention as to what sex the first offspring were, but there should be a decent number of desert females that are 5+ years old by now.
Multiple big breeders seem to like to take pictures/videos of new cool things. I would think that desert females on eggs would be one of those things you would want to take pictures/videos of.
If there were multiple pictures posted there wouldn't be any question. Since no one is posting any pictures, it leaves doubt.
