The Troll-



It's tough to find the right place to start to rebut the complete load of crap you just posted. But I'll try

Please take a look at the photos below. After reading your post, I grabbed a camera and did a few quick shots. All the photos are from today, just a few minutes ago.



If I "knew" (as you claim) that Desert females don't breed why would I "waste" a Desert Pin male breeding one? I'm doing this pairing because I'm hoping to make Super Desert Pins! The female Desert in this photo was 1775 grams as of yesterday.







The Desert Spider female below is 1725 grams. I just weighed my largest 12 year old Mandarin ratsnake and it was only 1100 grams. The Desert Spider is an 08 baby. So they are clearly not ratsnake sized.







The Desert female below is a 08 baby as well. As you can see she is 1920 grams. Doesn't look like a "large rat snake" to me. How about you, Troll?







This last photo is of a cage tags from one of our 09 female Deserts. The purple sticky to the left has her weight as of 2/9/11.







Ok, I think I just showed very clearly that Desert females do grow. The first photo shows that they do copulate.

But the million dollar question is....can Desert females lay good eggs? We have heard from a reliable source that a PE customer hatched two clutches from Desert girls last year. I think I will have a very strong chance to hatch a clutch this breeding season. I have gotten slugs in the past from a Desert girl but these were undersized girls that where not raised here at PE but were raised by another breeder under a very different system. Continued in new post....
