Females either slug out or die when gravid.
Best not to breed them.
They do make stunning pets though.

Man, and I really wanted to get into the Desert gene... IMO almost all of the desert combos that have been produced are fantastic but with the problems in the females there really isn't a point, at least not to me, to get into the gene anymore. But either way That is a great looking Desert Spider!!

Maybe messing with the incubation temps to try and hatch all male babies when dealing with the desert gene..Correct me if I am wrong but I seem to recall reading something about when the babies are incubated at slightly higher temps the clutch tends to be predominantly female/male (whichever one it was) or vice versa, slightly lower temps. I think maybe I saw this with sea turtles or something along those lines..been a while.

That does not apply with ball pythons
