I've worked with close to I'd say a thousand or so different deserts including desert morph combos. I can't say that they have a higher metabolic rate, but I can see how somebody would say that they appear to grow slower than most other BP's. As far as temperament they, in my experience, definitely have a touch of genetic madness going on with them. You toss that desert gene in with anything else and it seems to turn a nice docile snake into a little offensive S.O.B.
