Exactly the first impression I got, but it's definitely not, that I can tell anyway. Belly is all wrong.

Both of these BPs are het. axanthic.

I regret selling them..

This is my 0.1 Het axanthic.. Her snout coloring is way different and almost looks raw but that's not the case.. her nose was totally fine, and the coloring was natural.. she had like a dark lip-stick appearance too. It was very pretty.

This is Tiny.. he was my 1.0 het axanthic. He was very bright and had some awesome speckling.

I miss them.. they ended up in horrible health from the person who got them from me and I am pretty sure they didn't recover. They were showing signs of viral or neurological issues, or I would have taken them back.. but I couldn't risk all my other snakes by bringing them back home :'(. It was heart breaking..

Little miss squiggly dinker ch girl :)

A dinker is an unusual looking normal that may or may not have something genetic going on inside. An animal worth holding on to, to breed out or "dinker" with to see if can pass on a visible genetic mutation.

if anyone else has a better explanation lease feel free, but that's how I define it.

I've posted this girl before, no new pics right now since she's going into a shed a looks normal.
She was advertised as a Pretty young female. So I'm always reminded of Michael Jacksons PYT song when I think about it lol.

That's a great explanation!

A dinker essentially is a normal that has some visual abnormalities. Also referred to as "het markers," these wildtype snakes with abnormal patterns or tints/hues are often bred to various recessive genes to see if they can be proved out as a carrier for a recessive gene.

I will say you could have specter there I'll for sure will pair her with YB!!! and see what will pop up

Out of my five normals I would only consider two to be my own personal "dinkers":

Jionni, a little normal male. I have to say I think he'd make gorgeous babies with a Mojo girl, and will be searching for one in the future for him.

From April:

As a wee baby back in September '11:

And Cleo. Bought as a normal from a breeder who said that the person who he bought her from said she was het pied (didn't prove for the guy I bought her from so he let her go). I personally think she looks very ghosty, and I love her wonky pattern and very light colors. Any suggestions as to what I should pair her with based on her looks?

From November '11:

Yeah,.. Specter never crossed my mind. I have a YB male I can put her with when she's ready. I was thinking more along the lines of hooking her up with a Fire or Vanilla
