Which dinker would you choose?

I'm just curious... if you had to pick one of these "dinkers" (or special ball pythons, as the breeder refers to them), which would you choose? I can't get anything right now, but will hopefully purchase something dinker-ish in the near future. It would be cool to see what your opinions are, and which of these snakes has the most potential. Just a hypothetical poll - for now, LOL. ;)

Please vote based on these snakes below, and give an explanation if you want... so I know what to look for when I buy. :gj:

P.S. These are all in the same price range, around $200-400 a piece... they have others with crazy potential on this site, but they're in a different range ($500+).

First, I wouldn't buy anything from those guys based on what I've seen and read about them, but to each his own. I also think they're way overpriced. I have some very similar animals in my collection that I didn't pay anywhere near that much for. They've been caught before giving morph names to animals just to bump up the price, when the animal is not of that morph. A desert ghost KS ad several months ago comes to mind.

I'd go with someone more reputable, myself. Try David Fernandez if you want a nice looking project with the customer service to back it up. His stuff sells quickly, so you'll probably have to wait until next season, but it's worth it.

I've actually emailed with David Fernandez, and like you said he's sold out for the season... and to be honest, I'd probably buy from him in the end. This is just a hypothetical poll, to see what you all consider a "dinker with potential." Let's pretend they all cost $100 + shipping for the sake of this discussion. ;)

Take the seller issue out of this post and this is a fun poll. :)

I chose D because I like the rich darks, the banded pattern and the very distinct headspot...

G is also interesting with the connected alien heads along the sides.

The others look very similiar to what gets imported every year. I wonder if these abberant patterns are just a result of inconsistent incubation temps? If these are captive hatched imports that came from gravid females collected from the wild I would think it would be a possibility. I seem to recall reading about someone who was having temp control issues during incubation of one particular clutch and they hatched out with very "smudgey" alien head patterns. From what I remember it was a one time thing and was attributed to the inconsistent temps.

I like "A". Just looks more like tiger strips to me. But I sure as heck wouldnt pay more than $100 tops for it. It look really nice but is still normal.

None of them for those prices, but they are all quite sharp snakes... for the price you suggested, and if female... then all of them, but D is really sessy.

Hi,

I'd have a hard time choosing between D and A if they were all $100.

But if forced at gunpoint I'd go for D.

A forsure, gotta love those bandeds, I agree thou more than $100US is a little crazy for normals most likely Captive Hatched too

A, D and E in no particular order.

G...I love the connecting patterns....like a cinny...
