Im a nobody in this buisness. I dont know any of the big breeders in person. Ive met them at shows or i took a trip and visited their facility, or things like that. Ive talked to Robyn on the phone a couple times and on facebook. But im not someone he is going to remember, out of the thousands of calls and emails and messages he gets. Also I do not own a desert, thats out of my price range. I have only seen 1 in person. So I have no risk in this at all. I dont care who TheTruth is thats not important either. Im just giving my unbiased opinion about this thread. Personally I think it should be dropped, and people should make their own opinion. Wether or not they invest in deserts. In this hobby/buisness this stuff comes up all the time, and its always a mile long thread. Spiders,caramels and hidden gene womas all went thru it. And people still buy them. As for deserts, I have heard several different things about them. Both good and bad. I have heard females cant lay eggs at all. Ive heard of 4 people getting eggs from female deserts as well. Ive also heard its only desert to desert breedings that are infertile. Then ive heard they are skinny. Then people post pics of fat females. People could argue that two males locked up and you took a pic of that. It does happen all the time. People are going to believe whatever they want. I have one friend bought a male desert ball, heard this about females, and is trying to sell it for less than he paid for it. He doesnt want to take the chance. I have other friends who have desert females, and combos and are sticking with it. So its a matter of opinion. As for my opinion on robyn lying about his snakes I think thats crap. My personal experience with robyn and PE has been amazing. When I called robyn on the phone the first time, I was driving a truck and was in Colorado unannounced. I gave him no warning, and asked if it would be any trouble for me to come check out the breeding facility? Robyn told me he couldnt be there, but that it was no problem. He had someone meet me at the door and let me in. They let me see whatever I wanted. The place was spotless. All the animals were healthy. They were willing to open tubs show me anything I wanted to see and to take pics. Everytime ive emailed PE or bought anything its been a perfect experience. Thats my experience. So I dont think they are lying about anything. Robyn openly admitted they have never gotten a clutch from a female desert yet. That its a new project. So they personally cant say what the female deserts will do. But more than one person on this thread has posted pics of fat females locked up. So the thin thing has been disproven. As for wether or not deserts can lay fertile eggs. No one has shown proof they can lay eggs, but no one has shown definitive proof they cant lay either. Ive heard of 4 fertile clutches being laid from deserts and hatching. But have never seen it. I think we should have all ended this thread on Robyns first statement. This is a new project and left it at that. Until someone can produce evidence either way. Appearently if all these people are posting these pics of fat females locking up this season. And PE is posting pics of fat females locking up. There will be pics and youtube videos coming very soon with the answer. Theres no need to talk trash in the mean time .
