Big News Coming Tomorrow!

Another picture of the female on eggs. Sorry I didn't add a message to the picture I just posted. She was bred to a pinstripe male. She is back on food and doing very well. Eggs are due to pip around 8/2/13. Certainly no guarantee that everything is going to go perfectly, but so far it is looking good.

Any updates with this clutch? I think we're all squirming around in our seats.
If everything is still hush-hush, can you at least tell us just if they have hatched?
Thank you.

i'm curious about this as well.. you would think if they hatched deserts they would be excited to update everyone.. at least i know i would. but i'm a forum junkie.

It's only been a month since this thread was first created. I'm guessing they have another month to go. Patience....

Yea, i'm really questioning it... The pastel desert on this page looks different than your female. A lot more blushing:

I think you just have a citrus pastel, no desert.

This is a pic of the same snake from another thread.


I think the photo of the snake on eggs wasn't really taken with the greatest care due to eggcitment. Lol. And if the snake came from Amir (like it sounds to me) I would say, I would trust his judgement on if the desert in there. Just my .02

Definitely NOT the same snake in these two pictures.

im not excited at all.

if the breeding of desert females most times just doesnt work, and sometimes ends in disaster and the death of the female, and in this one rare case it works.... So what? Now lets say it works. It will cause others to also try, which will most likely lead to failed clutches and potentially even a few dead desert females. Now lets say the odds are good and new female deserts are produced in this clutch, of course they will be raised up and breeding will again be tried. What if everything goes wrong then? What if this one female produced this one healthy clutch, but then all further attempts to produce a second clutch fail?

for me to be excited about it would require the production of a super desert. As far as we know, its the female fertility issues that prevent the production of a super desert, apart from that it may be entirely possible to produce one.

why take all the risk, why risk the health of a BP, when there is no real reward at the end? Why do it, if you produce nothing that cannot be produced by using a male desert?

As I quoted above, Family Reptiles' desert female's clutch was due to pip on August 2, 9 days ago. We're all just hoping for the promised updates, and hoping again that they don't just disappear.

Sorry, I was thinking more about the original poster Witchbane who started this whole thread, I'd forgotten about Family Reptiles. You're right though. If they've already hatched, they should post about it whether it's good news or bad.

Well if you are going to Daytona next weekend you can probably ask them face to face as I am sure they will be vending there. I will be sure to ask them to see what they say.
