Desert Female Update

[wwmjkd]

I'll set the record straight gang.. I initially posted on the blbc forums. Yes, I called it Cross Exotics Line, and that is due to it "being a first" with the Desert female reproducing and not being done prior to this from anyone over the years. I retracted the "Oasis" name and left it at that since it was taken (didn't do my home work on that). It was a way of marking a first of an event, even though the Desert lines have been bred to so many combos before this. There is no way to tell which "line" comes from what unless you have spotless records from day one when they were brought in to the country. It was even mentioned that my girl could have been a "Jungle Desert" type new line that emerged from breeding over the years. I've had faith in this project, and I've also stood behind everything I've said while being transparent as possible in hopes to further share this information regarding something that is tagged impossible. After all, being excited is boring unless its shared for others to enjoy as well. After reading other opinions and reflecting back, I apologize for being over zealous and calling something my own line without the further proving of generations. Before I posted these pics I even consulted several very well known breeders. After doing so with the information of what was seen in the clutch I posted them. Hence the excitement and claim of said events. I won't disclose these breeders out of respect, and I assure you things will come full circle one way or the other as far as this Desert event goes. This thread was generated for the sole purpose of keeping my word of sharing the information, and not concealing what a lot have wished to happen for a long time. I thank you all for your opinions, thoughts, questions and respect for each other and myself regarding this matter. Feel free to ask or post and I will remain upfront with you all as I have been.

Thank You,
Joe

Can I ask what makes you so convinced that your dam is a desert and you hatched out a clutch of desert combos? I've been made aware my tone doesn't always come across online, so let me say first that I have no desire to antagonize anyone or doubt your sincerity. I'm really just trying to sate curiosity, and I haven't noticed you respond to anyone who thinks your snake is 'just' a fantastic looking citrus pastel. Is it possible Amir made a mistake in selling your dam as a desert? Have you discussed that possibility with him? Have you compared your clutch to any Pro Exotics deserts in person?

You keep mentioning the big breeders you consulted with, but there have been plenty of extremely experienced people who have disagreed with you here and in your previous thread. I know you have faith in your project, which is commendable. But despite their best efforts, not all martyrs see divinity. And now there's a possibility that it is a new morph called jungle desert that came about from 'breeding over the years'? Despite the fact you purchased it as a PE-line desert?

I'm not picking sides or attacking your credibility, but it is irresponsible to make a claim like this without having the evidence, argument, or at least theory to back it up. If you warn people against breeding their female deserts, but you bred an animal believing it to run the same risk anyway, only to find out you were mistaken from the start...when it comes to a project like this, with the potential to crack open the coffin on the desert gene, I just think a little more information would go a long way.
