Everyone that's not anyone wants to know the truth about female Deserts, well here it is. They do not grow or breed. Female Deserts grow up to by skinny animals with no weight to them. They look like a large Rat snake. Sure their may be a few that get large(very very few), but 99 out of 100 of them are not going to grow like your normal Ball Python.

Now I'm sure I'm going to get grief over this. There will be the people who come to the defense of the larger breeders and that's very understandable, but you will only look foolish if you do. I have seen over 100 female yearling to adult Deserts and they are basically garbage as far as breeding goes. This is why the larger producers of this morph sell all the great combo females. They know they won't breed.

I will say this in some peoples defense. There are a couple lines of them. One line MAY be different, but I don't think so. I have seen them from both main lines(only a few from one) and both lines grow to be skinny worms.

The truth needed to come out and now you have it. Take it how you'd like, but remember. You have been warned. Good luck.
