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 desert Bet 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!
Big Gunns knows a morph that was first produced 3 years ago. This is the first year a couple females are big enough to breed. That's 3 years and it's recessive. That's at least a one year difference...but probably more like 2 in years to prove out a morph and get females to produce. 10 years in an eternity in this business if you're trying to make money.

By the way Raul. It's BG's understanding that you're in the Desert project right? We'll talk in Cali.
