Thanks Rob, I know she isn't the craziest looking dinker but she is weird enough for me to mess with. Even if she doesn't prove, she will still produce whatever morphs I throw at her from my males. At the end of the day, all I really need are some healthy eggs!

It may not prove out, but the banding she's got would definitely make some funky patterns come up in some offspring. If nothing else, she'll do that for you! Good lucky! :)

I'm not raining on anyone's parade! It's a beautiful royal! Just giving my two cents worth lol :)

Congrats and good luck with her!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but by definition isn't a "Dinker" a "wild type" with an interesting pattern or coloration? This is why the term "normal" annoys the crap out of me. Every single morph on the planet, including the legendary Super Banana, started off as a wild type with something about it that caught someone's eye. Granted, there ARE complete noobs who occasionally post the "I just bought this BP from Petco for $79... They said it's a normal, but I KNOW it's a brown eyed leucistic super cinnamon granite coral glow!" Obviously, Dc5 isn't one of those. What he posted was exactly what every big name breeder has thought at some point in his/her career. He's got a python with a unique color and pattern, and he'd like to try breeding her to bring out and intensify those characteristics. If that isn't EXACTLY what a Dinker is all about, then I'll just shut up and go feed some lettuce to my leucistic super cinnamon granite coral glow. Wait til those idiots at Petco see how much money I'll make when I breed her!

You couldn't be more spot on. A dinker is a nothing but a normal, but it's a normal that the breeder thinks has something going on with it. So my dinker is a "normal" with potential, while other's may see it as just a normal.
