The girls I'm working on this year are 1750 grams or more and are all born and raised at PE. I believe that makes a difference. Some of the Deserts males and females were small for their age when we picked up the group. That was when the Deserts are "smaller" thought got started. Since than we have raised up babies born here under our conditions and we see no difference in baby size, yearling size and now that the stock raised here is two or three years old, adult size. Feeding, body "feel", shedding, etc are all the same as any other snake in our collection.
I hope this year or next we see a Super Desert. But it is far too early to make such strong statements like Desert females don't breed.
By the way, I think I know who "The Truth" is......sure would be nice if you would tell everyone who you are and where you saw and touched 100 Desert females! Truth doesn't need to hide!
