Question about breeding desert females!

[John1982]

You really have a lot of reading to do before you start spending any cash. Even with a male, you will need an outlet for the females you produce, so keep that in mind. Many folks do not want to feed a non-breedable female.

I feel bad for all the people who bought into the desert project without first receiving full disclosure but I think the morph still has a plenty of potential for breeders and keepers alike. The only people that really got burned are those who bought females with the intent to breed without being made aware of their situation.

That said, breeders will continue paying good money for the male combos and people who want a crazy looking pet snake should be able to afford a nice female combo without breaking the bank. Looking at it positively, the females are basically born spayed so you don't have to worry about people honoring "pet only" agreements.

The fact that females can't reproduce and are priced lower does in no way excuse breeders from full disclosure responsibilities when selling them in my opinion. I think if you're selling an animal with known problems you should make every potential buyer fully aware. Sure folks should do their own research but searches will come up nil until those who know start coming forward and spreading the word.
