Dinker pairing opinions...

Now that our dinker girl is getting bigger, we need to start thinking about what to pair her up with. I've thought about a pied/het pied, but I dunno. This is our first dinker project. Any ideas?

I'd pair her up with something either dom or co dom, just to take the guessing out of any possible out comes.

those are some nice train tracks if you have a pied male I'd through him in and then do a lit co dom male like a pastel or fire or something. Just my two cents I'm not an expert buy any means but that's what I'd try :)

I've got a really nice pastel that I'll for sure be throwing at her for sure. He is gunna be a busy boy this fall. :D

I love the lines on her belly. :)

If that is your Dinkers belly in the pics above...I would breed her to a Pied for sure.

Absolutely, then all babies carry the pied gene and you can see what influences the mom may have in the hatchlings.
And if you're lucky the female is a pied carrier, those tracks are pretty amazing.

Pied is an obvious choice. Those train tracks just scream "try to prove me out."

Pied option aside, your dinker has plenty of nice light areas. I would love to see her paired with a spotnose or fire and see if she could pass on some of her traits that would accentuate their patterns.

That belly is amazing. I would breed her to a pied, why not?! And don't breed he to anything else. That way you know for sure the babies are het pied.

agree..pied

Figured yall were gunna say that. Why must pieds be so bloody expensive? We've been wanting a pied for some time now (who doesn't want a pied?). Time to start saving up. :D

She was a rescue we picked up at the end of last year. She was skin and bones, barely 300 grams (and almost 3ft!), dehydrated with stuck sheds. You know the snake I'm talking about. She instantly became a favorite in our collection. She is at a lean 1,100 grams empty now and is destroying everything put in front of her. Figure if she keeps this up we should have no problems getting her up to 1,400-1,500 grams for some late season pairing.

i vote pied..

You can get male hets for pretty cheap like $150 or less and I've seen pieds going as low as $575 they have dropped alot the last couple of years

Oh yeah, we have plenty of access to them around here. We have 4 monthly expos within a couple hour drive of here that we attend (Cleveland, Columbus, Harmar House and Steel City). I will hold out for the right male if need be. I intend on being very picky and getting the highest quality pied we can find. If we are dropping that kind of money he WILL be perfect. :gj:
