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?
Is Super Desert not only a speculative possibility. Not proven to be either dominant or incomplete dominant(codom) with any degree of certainty other than it must be one of the two.

As for why it is important, it is a stellar looking morph that has not seen its' full potential due exclusively to the sterility/breeding issues with females.
If this turns out to be a line of Desert or a desert lookalike without the same problem, projects will explode offering enthusiasts new healthy combinations.
If it is instead a case of one morph cancelling out the small oviduct problem growth will be much slower since there is little known about morphs causing unusually large oviducts.
