I have a poss yb complex dinker I am raising up as well and will prob do the same, breed him to a normal or 2 and also try to hook him up with a yb girl. I was going to try to find an ivory female but I haven't heard such great things about ivory girls producing and don't feel like wasting cash so I think I will just stick with a yb girl for him.

Good luck with the dinkersaurus!!

I actually do not have any YB stock as of yet, and although I have a couple of older YB females availalbe to me, I haven't pulled the trigger just yet. The idea is if/when he proves, I will purchase a breeder YB to put him to for next season.

A quick update.

We have one female bred exclusively to the Dinkasaurus that has ovulated and should be laying in the next month or so!

Will post pics of the clutch when it drops.

Just read this whole thread and am really excited to see how this turns out! Good luck and I look forward to the results!

A normal female,
I like to do my dinking on a clean slate. :)

Well, here is a moment we have all been waiting for (especially me!)

Today, the normal female that we have been pairing the Dinkasaurus Rex to dropped 7 big, healthy looking eggs that average 106g each.
Now the countdown begins!

Pardon the crappy pics

He's a YB with a little mild incubation effect.
Ball pythons can take on an appearance outside their genetics quite often. Even with proven morphs. I see so many imports every year it's interesting to see how many actually do. Most of which are incubated on their natural environment, which means its not just a temperature spike that can cause it. Seems as though almost any developmental issue can arise during incubation.

Here is a couple YBs with mild incubation and extreme incubation effect. Hope this helps. My guess if you'll hatch out some nice YBs, but they probably won't look quite like pops.

Time will tell,
thanks for the input. I have seen quite a few snakes with pattern, color, and even physiological oddities from irregular incubation; It's certainly a possibility.

Can't wait to see pictures of the babies :gj:

Belly pic indicates a YB but I'd see if there's something else in there thats expressing itself or something new good luck.
