I think the price of desert males will be relatively stable because not only will people continue to breed for combos (with the hope they get some males out of it), but with females rendered useless for those purposes, male desert and desert combos will be even more in demand.
I still see and appreciate deserts and combos. I suppose the value of them speaks heavily to what the hobby as a whole is doing. (or at least most BP keepers anyway) If it cant breed its not worth much. I am curious with this and the caramels how much is the gene itself or something we have been doing as a community. I would be really curious about some of the original spiders and what they were like as well as the offspring.
