I don't have any knowledge about the desert, much less first hand knowledge. But ever since I first questioned the nature of homozygous spiders on this forum (which we still don't have an answer for like 8 years later, don’t remember for sure when that post was) I've been saying don't assume any combo of mutant genes is viable and capable of reproducing until it's proven. Hopefully it will turn out most will do just fine and those that had the guts to buy them before they where proven will benefit from their risk. Wish I did know some big breeders as there are a ton of morphs that I haven't happened to notice posted documentation of viability/fertility that are probably long since proven ok but are still in my suspicious category. With some luck I might hatch some super chocolates this year. Can I sell any without confirmation that older super chocolates of both sexes went on to breed? I don't have any reason to believe they would have a problem but my point is that the risk should be considered for any morph that isn't proven yet. I feel for the trail blazers who regularly work with unproven morphs but I guess with the risk comes with the potential for the glory seen when most of them work out great.
