My question is if they have "been around" for 10 years how come no one was marketing them until just a few years ago?
Because unlike let's say a pastel, they have not been in many collections and they haven't been bred like other morphs for the last 10 years thats why.
Show me a 10 year old pic of a desertBet you cant find one
You will find a lot of other 10 year old morph pics because people have been working and proving albinos, pieds, pastels, spiders, etc... for a while but 10 years of desert projects doesn't seem realistic. Don't think you would have seen a desert 10 years ago in Daytona, I didn't see one 4, 5 and 6 years ago let alone 10!
