granite dinker

Hoping to prove her out this coming season with her black pastel son but for this season a nice clutch of 100% het clowns works for me.

One partial boob egg, but otherwise a nice large clutch for her 2nd season.
She's an 07 and was about 2800 grams with eggs so she should be around 1900 grams after eggs.
I didn't however get a weight.
Last year she threw 7 eggs so I'm really happy about her stepping it up.
The females all ate superbly this season and the sizes of the clutches has been awesome.
So far we have had clutches of 6, 7, 9, 9, 9, 10 and there is one more with 8 to 10 eggs(fires!) and one with 6 eggs(yb het clowns) still to drop.

Thanks for looking :)

Congrats :)

Hey Jerry, Its Shaun. I thought Id show you a couple granite dinkers I picked up. I also picked up a snake that I have no flippin idea what it is. The whole snake has a cream color and the head is really blushed. Anyway let me know what you think. No idea why but their bellies are different also.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack your post just wanted to see what you thought. :)

#2 looks pretty similar to my girls belly except my girls belly has more of the ashen color than her, but quite similar.
I love that light colored girl, banded reduced pattern females that are genetic usually make smokin babies.
They are all good looking females, congrats and I hope they prove out for you!

Last season I bred black pastel to this dinker girl and her granite pattern showed up in 2 of the 3 black pastels and in one of the two normals.
The pairing was inconclusive IMO so I bred a recessive trait to her to see if I could produce some granite like patterns in more normals to better see her genetics show through.
We also held back a male black pastel that has the most granite like speckling and we'll breed him back to her this coming season.
He's already 900 grams, not bad for a 10 month old male :D

A few better pics of the dinker girl...In glow...
