I remember back in 2010 when the Desert gene first came out, all the breeders wanted to work that gene into a lot of snakes because it was so impressive. Too bad they found out it had problems.
If I were you I'd get some other genes you don't already have to increase your variability. Here's a nice Enchi Pinstripe Spider female. You could shoot for the six gene combo!
