I'm not sure infertility has anything to do with their issue, but they certainly have issues ...

Nice link and if the Desert female have congenital oviduct problems, that really would explain a lot about their infertility.
Oh well, at least we still have the Desert Ghosts!

These genes do different things . I think the gene that will closely resemble the desert in combo might be the super splatter... I can't wait to see what super splatter combos start to look like  .

I love deserts, and will be getting myself a male someday (other things planned  ). I'm sad that people see the females as pointless, they're very pretty pets. I do believe that it's the responsibility of anyone who decides to use that gene to disclose the issues and strongly advise against attempting to breed females. If it's a risk to the animal's life and there is NO success story anywhere (Pro-Exotics, NERD, and BHB all come to mind, more than enough trials) it's plain cruel to just try it out.
It's cool to think that with the breeding value cut out desert and desert combo females could be colorful, gorgeous ball pythons in the price range of first time BP owners (I like normals as well! But as a kid I'd have definitely preferred a desert over a browned out pastel as a "fancy" ball python )

Ah, I was thinking more in terms of colouration but yeah, they are not particularly similar beyond that. Super Splatter looks really promising though in terms of a "replacement" morph if they all turn out being of this caliber;
