Dear "The Truth",

First of all, I just want to say that I feel that those are some pretty strong allegations, and it would be nice if you had the courage to give your name and take responsibility for what you have said. Information presented without a known source tends to lose all credibility, and also makes one wonder what the motivation behind its presentation might be. Does this person hold a grudge and wish to cause damage to someone? On the other hand, there are some very credible breeders working hard on Desert projects. I find it difficult to believe that there is a major conspiracy at work here.

My own limited personal experience with this project is as follows: I produced over fifty Deserts and Desert combos in 2010. Of those, I have held back over twenty Desert and Desert combo females for my own future breeding stock. Most of these girls are now in the 200 to 300 gram range. Two of these girls have slowed on food intake recently, the rest are feeding twice per week like champs. I would say that they, as a whole, they are at least as good of feeders as any other balls of similar age in my collection. They are growing well, and are fat and healthy.
If you are indeed privy to some real information regarding a failure of Desert females to thrive, and not just performing some random act of terrorism, please have the courage to come forth and give us some real facts. Your name would be a great start, and then some specifics as to where you encountered the "over 100 female yearling to adult Deserts" would be very helpful.

Regards,
Dan Wolfe
