Dinker clutch has shed off - pics.

Pics as asked for on my other thread. Another clutch just hatched out from the father today - again normal normals and normal pastels so the money is on the dinker female being the culprit.

Well 6 out of the 7 have shed off. Really please with them. 5 have fed so far.

Just some random pics both indoor and out - I'm not the best photographer but we had sunny weather today for a change!

Pastels:

Cheers

Those are REALLY neat!

Need to breed the babies back to the parents or even the babies together and see what happens

Great pastels! You may have a new morph on your hands!

Wow...even the "normals" show something.

Great stuff here.

They look fantastic! I'd hold them all back!

Bad to the bone there HOTT I really like them. I would breed one of those norm/ granite's to a YB see what happens.

awesome clutch!

Looks kinda like an Inferno to me. Even the normals look like an Inferno just without the color only the shapes/patterns.:O

Gorgeous snakes!

they are hot! those normals dont look normal. i think you have something special there

cool
do you have a picture of mom?
they look like a sable to me

Wow they are very nice looking :gj:

Those are really cool looking!!! Congrats :gj:

Those are amazing!

BEAUTIFUL! Keep us posted as you unravel the mystery. :salute:

Nice! Must feel good to be a lucky herper!

After emails/chats with some of the big breeders your side of the pond they are all of a similar opinions. It cannot be incubation related, that the mother is possibly a hidden gene animal, it's a new (unproven) line of a striped granite type Royal and there may well be a super form.
The 'Y' neck stripe is a genetic factor of the NERD lemon pastel that sired this clutch.

All are eating now and having resisted a couple of tempting offers on the clutch I'm going to grow them on and go for a super. If a hatchling male is not up to size this year to breed back to the mother i'll re-breed the same pairing this season to prove it out. Mother is eating like a pig and up to 2.3kgs.

Will take some more pics soon. Cheers. :)

*whines* *grabby hands* Those are my favorite bp babies of this season by far!!! I can't wait till you play with that momma some more and see what kind of crazy combos you make!!!

:bow:

Thanks, fingers crossed for a super! :)
Love your Dobby pic BTW. I have a boy here laying beside me.

Very good clutch! I love the pattern on all of them!

They look awesome! How about a picture of mom? Looks like a morph to me!

WOWWW! you lucky dog! That is one hell of a clutch..keep resisting those offers you have a great project there!

i also vote to see a pic of the mom! :bow:

those pastel x dinker combos look SICK!!!!!

really superb looking babies!! also would love to see a pic of the mom.
id say this is something genetic and really interesting to continue as a project.

Alright I'm sick of hearing about dinkers and having no clue what they are. Somebody fill me in? lol

To "dink" around with a project. As in, have a snake you think might be something something special so you breed it back to one of it's offsprings in the hopes it truely is something special. It is your "dinker" project.

"Dink" probably came from "tinker". I'm going to "tinker" around with a project. Americans are horrible when it comes to English and just make up new words whenever it suits us.

i think vypyrz hit the nail on the head with his definition :gj: (different thread)

Therefore, I might consider him a "Dinker" project if I ever got into breeding. Until then, he is just a normal with an interesting pattern...

They look awesome, congrats!

i agree, they are amazing looking! i really like them, congrats and good luck.

Ahhh gotcha...I've been looking at snakes people call dinkers and none ever looked the same so I was like wtf. Thanks guys:gj:

Wow, those are SMOKING! They are definitely genetic. Congratulations! I'd be keeping all of 'em!

we really want to see the mom!;)
pretty please:please::please:

Wow those are the best looking normals and pastels i have ever seen!!

That is a cool pattern, even on the normals. I like how the pastels bring it out though. Congrats and wish you luck with a super!

:P She looks nothing special - no pattern like the babies - just a look about her that was very different to all the other captive farmed (hatched) ones that arrived! Different colour eyes etc etc.

hey caz - stunning clutch there mate...
got a huge pin female that has taken a shine one of your bad-ass pastel boys ;)

Those are REALLY cool. I hope they prove to have a super. I like just the "het" though. :D Adding pastel makes them super sweet already!!

Those look alot like GHI balls. They are a codom/dom gene. Killer looking babies!!!

i agree. go for a super!

x nicole

Those are awesome looking! I'd say you have a very cool future ahead as you look for a super and see how other morphs respond in combo!

Beautiful dobie and weimer-pup, too!! I have a red dobie...she's a big goofball! :D

Looking at the non-pastel dinker babies...they look genetic granite to me.
Clear bellies, break in the neck stripe, speckling on the "alien heads".

I bet you get a super granite if you breed them together.

Love your Dinker clutch! Congratulations! I agree with the bright future with these animals.

the normals look sorta like black pastels.

They can't be though. If they were, then the pastels he has that look funny would be pewters.
