This could be huge news.
And, people thought waiting a day was bad. Now there will be a wait for any females exhibiting the Desert characteristics to mature and breed. And, hopefully remain healthy and have successful clutches.
I am really unconcerned as to whether or not this is exactly the same gene as the known Desert morph or morph that looks enough like a Desert to fool Amir. I just hope it isn't a fluke female and turns our to be a reproducible Desert or Desert-like morph.
And, that is provided the odds-gods play nice and there are female hatchlings with the gene.
