Desert Female Update

[Rickys_Reptiles]

Curious, are any of those female?

I'd be curious to see in a few years in these females are also successful at producing viable clutches.

Do you know what I did with my so called specter male that was actually a fire or the citrus pastel calico that I bought as a female and ended up being a male? I chalked it up as a lesson learned. I preferred not to even bother with it, it was not the first time this happened with purchases from him, and I felt the best corrective action at the time was to cut loose and simply take my money elsewhere. I had customers lined up waiting to buy Specters and Super stripes from my “Specter X Vanilla YB” and what I hatched out was Vanilla Creams! Not bad, not complaining, but when you buy a Specter from a “big breeder”, and you are told it’s a Specter from that “Big breeder” and you believe it’s a Specter, and it’s not, it’s is disappointing to say the least. I paid $1000 for a $200 fire. I simply chalk it up to lesson learned!
I’m posting not to trash anyone, but to let the OP know that he is not alone. I’m sorry, but I’m another that does not see Desert in any of those babies and chances are they were sold a Citrus pastel and likely not by mistake. There are many others in the same boat as you that were sold something that it was not, some have come forward, many do not to avoid any backlash for calling out a well known breeder by their supporters that just want to protect their interest, friend, or God.

Good luck Cross Exotics and I wish you well. You still have a beautiful clutch in my eyes.

Sorry to say but having seen lots of desert stuff there is no desert in anything you posted. Honestly the dam doesn't look like she is a desert either. I would get a 100% normal male and see what comes out. I'd be willing to bet the farm no desert comes from this.

I would call it a tropical pastel... since there is no desert

[wreckroomsnakes]

do you know what line of desert you are working with? are these pics pre or post shed?

So.......regardless of whether or not the snake is a desert....why would this not be called an Amir line? Was the snake not originally bred and purchased by Amir?

So she is now an Amir line Citrus Cross Exotics line Desert?

there are two known lines of desert. pk and P.E line. P.E line is much more well known and typically holds it color better as it ages. Pk line tends to brown out

Very pretty hatchlings, but none of them have the Desert gene. Whose input did you seek before posting these mislabeled combos?

Either way, always good to see healthy hatchlings.

Presumably, Amir.

My citrus pastel calico clutch this season. Note that these are right out of the egg after cleaning up. There are no supers. Only citrus pastel calicos, calicos and citrus pastels.

Great looking clutch but I agree with the others - no deserts in this clutch.

Kinda confused why you are insisting that they are?
