buyer beware "deserts"

[PitOnTheProwl]

Yes that's me and I do have a producing female, but have never offered them for sale. She's a bit moody but her parts are all there and working. Very different disposition from any balls I have seen.

I too would like to see pics and production proof.

I'm no expert by any means, but that's a normal. If it was hatched from a desert female, it might be het for desert, but it's definitely not a desert.

Desert isn't a recessive gene so no "het desert" is possible.
Desert ghost is recessive, but that's a completely different gene from desert and many people do confuse them due to the name.

I want to see a pic of the desert female that is producing...

I only referred to the hatchling as a het desert, so it is just offspring. I'm not opening up my collection to the public, I'd rather keep this to myself and this has gone way too far already. One heck of a fancy normal. The hatchling is no longer with me and resides in another location so it is no longer my place to discuss it. Ive got nothing else to share on this matter, it is what it is. Sharing info and pics is what started this in the first place.

Its a pet, and I will treat her as such, very unlikely I'll breed her again. She's about number 20 down the list. Not a concern of mine anytime soon in the near future

From everything I have read there is no such thing as a HET Desert. If you are not willing to backup your claims, especially when people tried to give you the benefit of the doubt then why did you come one here make an acct and post trying to defend yourself?

Seems to me like you are either confused about what you have as well as confused about genetics or misrepresenting animals. Which one is it?

There are Het desert ghost but no het desert so which one are we talking about?

Truth is YOU are the one that brought back a year old thread that had died , so if people are talking about it again it's because of you and now there is explaining to do since you don't even seem to know what YOU have.

You chose to join a public forum and only respond to this post. That in itself opened you to the public.
This response just seems WAY too shady of a response unless you don't know what you have.
So is it a Desert or a Desert Hypo/Ghost?
That can clear a lot up.

I didn't try to sell my desserts to somebody who has never seen one . that's my claim. Don't believe everything you read. Get your info first hand like me. I didn't bring my name into this, somebody else did. Its just another snake in 1 of 3 racks. I read about me online, its my right to look up my own name and find out who's sticking a blade in my back. enough is enough

Condescending much? You give the impression you think we are stupid here, I have plenty of first hand information on the desert gene, many of us here do. I do know that dessert has a visual heterozygous form, which your flash washed hand photo doesn't look like one at all. So stop talking like we are stupid when you are the one with conflicting information or at the very least explain yourself in a way that makes sense with the current conversation. Also, if what you say is true, shouldn't you be sharing your first hand information or do you continue to beat around the bush in jumbled words and unsupported claims.

I'm also sorry you think so little of a snake just because it is "one of many"

Yes it is your right to look yourself up online, no one is saying that it isn't, what we are saying is that you saw something about yourself and it frustrated you so you adressed it, all fine and well...what we are all asking is did you claim to have a desert female that produced? We are all curious because all the info states that its not possible. It's as simple as that, the OP isn't even involved in this thread anymore. Can you at least answer the question at hand?
