I wish those with the eggs good luck. I do think this would be a good start, but I have to agree that I won't get excited until It's shown that these would be reproducible results on a much larger scale. If not, it still won't be worth it to breed Desert females, in my opinion. As for people saying they shouldn't be experimenting because of the risk to the female, I don't think people like Robyn or Amir would be condoning the experiments if there was really such a high mortality rate. It seems the most common problem is getting slugs. If you breed any animals, you get some mortality rate, if it concerns us so much we wouldn't take a chance on breeding anything. Just my .02! Hoping this all turns out well!
