is this a morph?

Wow! That is a SWEET dinker youu got there! A dinker is basically an Odd Ball that MAY be genetic.. The only way to prove it genetic is by breeding it and proving it out..

Gorgeous Ball You Got There!

what would you guys pay for this snake. wanna know if i over payed.

I've seen a few harlequins like that pass through. Don't know if any ever proved genetic, though. Good luck!

Around 50 bucks or so... more than a normal but not really as much as a proven morph. They arent common but they arent exactly super rare either :)

Just a normal until you prove her out, but DANG she's beautiful! I wish I could find a normal like that for $50!

really nice looking animal - regardless of what you paid (within reason);)

Beautiful dinker! :gj: I agree that it looks like a "Harlequin," which apparently is still an unproven normal variation... also reminds me of a morph called lace-back, or is it black lace? Anyway, definitely breed that baby and see if it proves genetic!

WOW.
That is an awesome snake. I probably would have paid more than 50 and felt just fine about it. I'd really have to wonder if there wasn't something genetic there. I've seen a lot less impressive balls as dinker projects!

A snake that looks that nice is worth up to $200 in my book.

In all likelihood there is no special breeding potential there for extra-nice offspring as the stripe on snakes like that doesn't seem to be passed on very well.

HOWEVER, I'm definitely of the opinion that a snake's value is more than just its breeding potential. Many in this hobby however, are not of the same opinion when they purchase animals.

IMO, that is a VERY nice pickup, I'd call it in the top 1% of nicest looking normals out there, at least for my tastes. I just love full stripe harlequins.

I love full stripes, whether they are gold stripes or black stripes. That is a very stellar looking animal you have! Nice pickup, and for only $50 too!
