My female "dinker" and a couple questions

[supertiger retics]

This here is my beautiful 1100gram female "dinker" "genetic" black back. The breeder I got her from originally obtained this female directly from Bob Clark, and was told she comes from a proven genetic black back line. Seeing as though I've yet to breed her, this remains unproven. She is almost of breeding weight and age, and I was thinking of breeding her to my male specter, or another future co-dom male. So my questions to you guys are......What are your thoughts on her and her looks, and if this female was in you collection what would YOU breed her to, and why. And now for some pix...enjoy

I'd pair her with a CALICO!!!!!

that is something worth breeding!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking calico as well, or some other earth tone morph. And thank you cinnamonpython

Calico, cinny, black pastel, HRA, Mojave.

I would breed her to those snakes because they have loopy tear drop side patterns. Her pattern and black back (assuming its genetic) would make stellar babies. Nice gal. Wouldn't mind her myself.

Those sound like really good potential genes....Now which one will I pick lol

[interloc]

Calicos will probly give you the best return, but since they are usually black backs anyways, it may be difficult to tell if you have a black backed calico or just a calico. I vote cinnys because everyone likes a good Ol black backed cinny.

Well, I guess I know what I'll be breeding my male sterling to lol

pewter, a pewter from one of these lines where black/cinnamon hit the pastell on the same chromosome or locus. Ok, that only really makes sense if what you have sits on the same chromosome.

But then i also have to ask.... did you just name your pet dinker, or where does it come from? If the gene is not on that chromosome but elsewhere, that might be exciting.

A dinker is basically a weird looking "normal" ball python. Many people hold them back or keep them in their collection, because they want to try and prove it out as a new genetic morph
