Today is another day in the "I really wish I could have snakes where I'm at" life.

I was at petsmart picking up a new food for Loki, when I decided to swing by the reptile section to see what they have in.

They had a new ball python in, and this baby SCREAMED dinker. Now, I've done my research and am able to identify quite a few morphs on site. This wasn't any morph that I knew of, and it definitely did NOT look like a normal.

Plenty of flamage, small alien heads, a granitey look, but the thing that really caught my attention was that it was ORANGE.

As in a deep, vibrant, rusty orange. Maybe a shade or two lighter than what you see on pumpkin pieds.

Altogether, if I was allowed to get ball pythons where I'm at, I would have snapped the baby up (at $50, definitely worth it just for the dinker prospects).

Sadly I'm still not allowed, and couldn't snap a picture, but oh man did it look like a perfect dinker.

i had an orange normal once he was 100% het - personally i hate playing with dinkers, you have no idea what recessive trait is hiding, or even if there is one. IMO you saved yourself $50 lol

I'm not even talking het for anything. I want to see if what that baby looks like as-is is reproducable, and if so, whether it looks good paired with other morphs.

And I'm as curious as the cat in the saying (and firmly believe that satisfaction brought him back). $50 is TOTALLY worth it just to satisfy my curiousity.

:weirdface This thread is null and void with out pics. :) At least give the location so someone else can possibly stop by and get pics.

It's the Petsmart right by the Irving Mall (off of 183). If anyone in Dallas wants to swing by and pick him/her up, feel free. I'd be happy just knowing that such a beautiful little snake ends up with a good home.
