Hey guys was just doing a little reading and messing about with
the morph calculator, to then search for the desert morph. Some
people where talkin about the fertility issue with female deserts?
Does anyone know anything specific about this? Would be a shame,
I really wanted to get my hands on one :( |

unfortunatly desert ghosts dont have such a good price tag, with cpr selling a male for just over 2 grand, and the hets this year will likely cost about 1500 a pair
and that bumblebee dg del, omg, the things i would do for that!! the things i would do for just a pair of hets or one visual!!!      |

female deserts are infertile. unfortunatly people are still trying to breed them, and a number of them have ended dead because of being bred.
saying that, there is one thing better than a desert, a desert ghost (not to be associated with the desert morph). a recessive gene that makes anything better!!!! |

I know there's some big wigs in america who say they will produce a fertile desert female...they're still working on it as we speak. This breeding season results will tell us if they've succeeded |

Cheers guys, shame, the desert makes everything spectacular in my opinion :(
Think I will avoid it, shame... |

Pretty much as above
There was some speculation a few years ago that someone had a viable clutch from a female desert. Sadly it proved to be nothing other than speculation. To this day there has been no cast iron evidence that a female desert has layed an egg that has hatched
More worryingly, some breeders have reported that their females have become egg bound and have passed away, either after surgery or prior to any veterinary attention
Such a shame for such an amazing co dom morph to have such a crushing flaw. The trait is passed over to multiple gene females as well

Yea, so i wonder would that make double gene morphs with desert in them infertile too, the females that is? :( |

I read somewhere that females are infertile don't know if its true tho. I think males are ok tho |
