    Desert breeding

    I know it's said that the female Deserts have reproduction problems, but what about the female Desert combos? Will a Desert Pinstripe female have a better chance of reproducing?

    There has not been a female yet with the desert gene attached to it that produced viable eggs. (unless someone is keeping REALLY quiet about it )

    Same issue, adding a gene or two does not change the problem.

    Thanks everyone. That sucks, it's such a nice gene. I've been seeing females for cheap(and I know why). I feel bad for the people who paid through the nose for females to find this out.

    I guess that's what happens when trying to prove morphs. Win some lose some.

    Unless it is a desert ghost (the recessive one not a desert hypo) any snake with the words female and desert in them are not gonna produce viable eggs. It wouldn't matter if she had five other genes along with her desert gene she still wouldn't produce. There are a few people out there still trying different things to try to figure out what's going on with them. But as of this point desert females are just really pretty pets.
