Has anyone personally had any luck producing viable clutches out of desert females? I would like to hear from those who have personally attempted to breed desert females. Are they totally infertile? Have low fertility rates? Or just as fertile as any other ball python?

I recently came across a number of postings that shed quite a bit of doubt on the topic of desert female fertility. However, I have my sceptisim regarding how many of those posts were placed by people speaking from first hand experience and how many we're simply restating rumors they've read or heard.

Some claim that desert females simply take longer to get to breeding size or require lower temperatures. Any one with experience on these claims?

Has any new difinitive information surfaced recently regarding this topic? I would really appreciate any info on this topic.

Thanks,
Mike
