Seriously.... Mr. T, what does Chad and PE have to lose? You're kidding right? Pro Exotics have been honest throughout this process. They haven't had success producing from female deserts, and they have admitted to that. They haven't lied to customers, and they provide solid evidence that their female deserts do IN FACT grow to be healthy maternal size once they produced and raised their own females. Any large importer and exporter of ball pythons will tell you that BP's vary in size in different locales. The deserts may in fact be one of those smaller sub-species, but that won't determine fertility. Importers will also tell you how difficult it is for wild caught animals to adapt in captivity, albeit poor conditions, until Chad purchased them. Just wait till these deserts start breeding into the larger sub-saharan ball pythons, I bet we start seeing some big, fast growing females in the future.

I wish Chad and Pro Exotics all the best this year with this project. True professionals over there. As for Mr. Anonymous, sorry about your misfortunes buddy.
