Of course. Natural selection would probably take care of just about every morph we own in the wild.
I own an English Bulldog, a breed that is still bred despite many problems.

English Bulldogs are delivered by Cesarean. If they arent, and I know someone who had their girl give natural birth, she was so badly injured during labor that she's no longer capable of breeding. If people pursue surgical removal of eggs from their ball pythons to prevent their girls from getting eggbound, that's one thing. It's another entirely to treat your pet's life and wellbeing like a crapshoot. I'm very glad this turned out well for OP, I would not have done it, and I suspect that we won't be seeing desert babies from that clutch. As I said before, whatever genes are at play here, I hope all the babies are healthy. I mean no ill-will when I suggest that I just don't believe this is the time it gets proven.

I really don't understand playing devils advocate in this situation. This could be the biggest news to come into the ball world in a long time. Why knock the Op? Also one of the most well known breeders (Amir) has his name and reputation on the line here. I realize that there will always be doubters, but why?

Nobody who has posted so far has been insulting to anyone else, at least not that I can see. Playing the devil's advocate is not the same thing as voicing genuine disagreement, and OP should understand that when I say I don't see desert, it's not an insult, it's an attempt to help illuminate the situation. Assume that I'm right for a minute. All of these eggs go to term and nothing that comes out is desert in any remote way. If OP hadn't considered that Amir might have made a perfectly honest mistake when labeling his girl, there could be some genuine confusion. It's not even meant to insult Amir, because be real, mistakes happen. I'm sure if somehow this female wasn't really a desert, Amir would do right by OP and work out some agreement to make them both happy.

Threads that consist of nothing but "subbed" and "Congrats!" are kind of boring anyway, right? We're all here to discuss and learn, so don't squash the discussion by reading insults where none were intended.
