    CH dinkers from ghana. DUW
    Just got my random bag from Ben today and I'm pretty pleased with some of these snakes, some pretty nice dinker material.

    The 2 I'm debating holding back:

    The stripe on her is awesome, and from other peoples bags there where a few with really nice striping as well, some of us are thinking it could be very genetic, but we shall see...

    My personal favorite, pictures don't do her justice, but she has some really nice red to her, considering none of these guys have shed, I'm super excited to see her colors after shed, as her red is just perfect, and her outlines are outstanding, hoping to see what comes of her color as she grows.

    Let me know what you guys think, I'm pretty new to some of this stuff, but these guys look very nice and I'm excited for their first shed :D

    I like the 2nd to last best. But yeah, okay, the last one may have something going on, too.

    Very nice looking little babies, and soooooooooooooo cute too!

    Thanks, I figure they should sell pretty well especially the stripe, the high red however, I'm probably going to keep for awhile, he's just too awesome and has an amazing personality.

    Haven't decided that much yet ;) I'm not 100% set on what to ask for her.

    That last one is really pretty!! :D My bp looked very similar to that when she was that size, and was the main reason why I picked her out... the amount of orange on her sides was crazy, just like that little guy. It looks like he has a little bit of granite speckling though, which she did not have, and his spotted back pattern is very cool. The striped one is nice too!! Congrats!! :gj:

    My camera doesn't do an amazing job, however, there are a few granites in the bag, which was real nice to see.

    I say keep them both!!! That's what I'd do anyways lol. Those last two are just so neat. There could definitely be something going on genetically with either of them. Nice bag :gj:

    Can you tell me more about the "bag" deal? I have never really heard anything about that before. Are the babies from Ghana, or is the mom -- was she caught gravid in the wild??

    Thanks!

    A couple of them look like Russo's. Like the second pic. If any of the ones that look like that one with white outlining, and tons of alien heads and spots (on top and sides) end up bright yellow on top and bright orange along the sides after they shed, I'd dink them with a Leucistic producing gene.

    Thanks!

    Ben Seigel got a bunch of bags of baby ball pythons imported from a farm in ghana, they are wild caught gravid females captive hatched and imported, probably some of the best baby balls I've seen as imports, easily outdoing a lot of captive breds I've seen.

    I'm still not 100% certain myself, however, I probably will end up selling all of them except my holdback to be honest, I'm not huge into breeding myself yet, and only have a couple small projects.

    I really should have ordered the 25, these are fantastic animals, and I wish I had the space/time to raise/dink with all of these babies!

    Ben Seigel offered them on his facebook page. It's not that I don't have the time-persay, it's just not my thing. We order these 10 snakes and see what we get, I got one that I really really like and I'm keeping, the rest I'm selling off.

    Not everyone who buys and imports plans to keep every animal, I didn't buy these as pets, I bought them with the intention of making getting 1-2 I really liked, and selling the rest at a profit margin as nice dinkers/pets.

    Some of the babies from this shipment that some of my friends got are equally outstanding, tons of very very high yellow, flames, stripers, high black, really quality animals.
