    When you say breed her to prove her out, to what would you breed her? What would you see in the results that proves what she is?

    Breed her to another that is suppose to have like gene..

    Honestly, if you are buying imports, I can tell you, an importer likely cannot gaurantee that animal has any special gene, seeing as tho it is either wild caught or farmed..meaning no way to know what both parents genes are.. I would breed it to see if it produces anything special..

    Hope you hav a gaurantee from your importer on genetics if you paid a hefty price for it.

    Furthermore... "Dinker" is a term used to describe a snake that may have unusual trait, markings or coloring that hasnt been proven to be genetic yet.

    Breed it to a normal and see what it produces.

    Its good to think of a "dinker" as a potential..or possibility for something else.

    But yet, I havent actually seen a dinker prove out up to this point. Imo, its a normal most likely, w a hefty price tag in hopes of producing a morph.

    I'm glad you mentioned that. I was wondering. I've seen the term 'dinker' thrown around lately but just thought it referred to a normal. But it's a normal with possibilities :)

    Its a normal that MAY have possibilites, not a normal that HAS possibilities (bc you know the genes). No gaurantee. You have to breed it to find out.

    What is being called a dinker, is likely most of the time a normal that has nothin special genetically..just happen to be odd looking normals.

    When buying a dinker one should be very aware there isnt a gaurantee on what genetics it has or doesnt... Or it wld be said it has x... And sold as such. Be wary of importers who may be selling dinkers as a morph, when in fact, they are an odd normal who may or may not, but most likely not have a hidden gene...

    Dinkers are a big question mark really. A gamble. You cld pay a boat load for one tht looks different, breed it out many many many times, and still produce nothing but normals.

    On the other side of the coin... It could even be said that any normal ball (keeping in mind there is a huge degree of variety in normals) is a dinker, just because one doesnt know exactly wht its genes are..

    Keep in mind, normals are beautiful..and I have never seen 2 exactly like..ever...I have seen so many variations on pattern and color,etc over the years its crazy.
