question about deserts

magicalmorphs Aug 15, 2010 03:58 PM

Is there a super form of the desert morph (not the recessive type). If so where can I look for pics? Thanks Chris Hall

no super yet that is known. Seems the females can't pass eggs so it kind of makes it really hard to make a super with out a desert female. its a shame because the super form if there is one I think will be really cool kind of like a super enchi type deal. but that is just my opinion

We are hoping there is a super form. As of today I've got one Desert female gravid from a Desert Spider and a few more Desert girls who should still go this year who have been bred by Desert morph males. The Desert gene seems to make snakes that are "smaller" at the same weight as other morphs. I really believe all that is needed to get good eggs from a Desert girl is to not breed her until she is 1500 grams. I've should have a few chances to get a super Desert, wish me luck!

Chad my fingers are crossed for you. I think the super form and it's combo's would totally clean and bright like nothing we've seen before. That's why I want a desert!! Keep us updated on those girls. Thanks Chris Hall

We know of two clutches on the ground from Desert females this year. And hopefully our own females will lay this year as well.

1500 grams seems a more viable breeding weight for the Desert females.
