Dinkers, Odd Patterns, Ringers and Other Funky Stuff
I don't know about you guys but I like seeing dinkers and funky looking BP's! :D Everybody post your photos of your dinkers, odd balls, ringers, whatever! Share with us a little bit about what you know about your snake as well!

He is 7 years old, and a pick up from petco or petsmart. He also tries to eat rats from everyother directions but headfirst before he finishes up. I have only had him for about two months. Lots of blushing and much lighter than most normals. Other people on the forum suggested he may be a reduced pattern normal. http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...t/100_2558.jpghttp://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/...t/100_2547.jpghttp://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc484/spasticbeast/100_2535.jpg

Thanks. I loved the flames when I first saw him. The stripe is cool, but not what made me pick him up. He is breeding our 3,000 gram girl this year...He is only 600 grams! I hope to have him prove out this year! :please:

I love this kind of stuff and have been picked up some unusual animals over the years...
Fire ringer and a champagne "extreme" ringer

Babies from the above breeding

This is just amazing, lots of stuff going on.
You're the one with the Paradox Spied?? I had no idea. I always wondered who was the one who had this animal.
-
Tiffany, the one on the left is a fire champagne and the one on the right is a champagne. These champagnes don't have any pied in them. Champagnes sometimes have ringers and mom is an extreme example. I hatched a fire champ last year which had a nice ringer so I thought my fire ringer male would be a good mate and the results just blew me away.
I love that paradox spied. As soon as Steve hatched it I was on the phone.

I love seeing dinkers!
Here are mine:
My favorite dinker from a dinker project of mine. Now to prove him genetic! I call him the orange thing
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...ked/016-10.jpg
Him with the two pastel females I held back and a normal for comparison
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...ed/013-6-1.jpg
This is the orange thing's sister, so I'm calling her a pastel dinker for now

Wow those are some crazy ringers, the mom is definitely a stunning example of a ringer. Ringer wouldn't even cross my mind if I didn't see a description on those snakes. The results from pairing that male paid off no doubt!
It still shocks me that you're the one with that Spied! I was interested in wondering who had it for the longest time. Definitely nice getting in line first for the snake, that is just such an incredible looking animal :gj:.

I love seeing these. XD IMO, trying to prove out dinkers is one of the coolest parts of this hobby.
And that Orange Thing is really gorgeous! :O

I was just looking at that and thinking the same thing :).
Anyone else notice how more people are calling snakes Dinkers and charging more money for them? Instead of a 30-50 dollar snake their asking for 100+ not including shipping depending on where you're located. With the prices some of them carry it's no longer a Dinker that's Morph status. High blushing, reduced alien heads, flames, light color or anything and it's like they're adding on an extra 50 bucks for each characteristic.

I noticed that recently at the show in my area... lots of entirely mundane looking normals being labeled as 'dinkers' to make them seem more attractive. Sure, everybody has something differen't they're looking for in a snake.. but I've never seen such a large assortment of ordinary snakes labeled as 'dinkers' before.

Re: Dinkers, Odd Patterns, Ringers and Other Funky Stuff
Here are a few of my dinkers...
My Male dinker that should have been paired with AKBALLS'S Dinker female!! ;)
http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/...9014295103.jpg
Only two breaks in his stripe!
http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/...9014277983.jpg
My light banded female with a blushed head
http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/...9014211554.jpg
Same female

Granite-ish female paired with my black pastel
http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/...8828778808.jpg
and PS AKBALLS, The offer is still open for next season if you want...

Heck yeah you guys need to hook those Dinkers up!
Those patterns on those snakes of yours are SO cool. Im truly envious of both of you.

Re: Dinkers, Odd Patterns, Ringers and Other Funky Stuff
Yeah I offered to buy her and even to do a breeding loan just because they were so similar and he lives pretty close to me but we lost contact and looks like he has other plans for her. Still hope in a future season we can work something out.

This is my Bonnie. I just got her not too long ago, but if she eats for me, I intend to let her lock with Clyde again. I think she's a beautiful dinker, almost all bands and so reduced. Even some amazing flames and fading.

Yeah, its kinda funny actually. A lot more is proving genetic than people thought. I think that has a lot to do with it. Justified? NO! I saw somebody listing a dinker male for $250 dollars on fauna the other day. If he doesnt prove out....You would have paid $250 to hatch a bunch of normals. WTF?

If the seller is up front in calling it a Dinker...I don't care what they charge. It's no different than buying a poss het for several hundred/thousand dollars depending on what morph it is PH for. It's all a matter of perspective.

Poss het is different in my eyes. At least you are buying something that was produced by breeding to a know gene.

I agree with this. If something does prove out, just think what it could be worth! If you don't see the possibilities then don't buy it.

Fair enough. You guys buy all of the wild type MALES you want and let me know when something proves out...Maybe I'll buy in at that point.

Of course, some of the dinkers I see for sale barely are any different than a regular normal. The trait for sure might be genetic, but there are a lot of things that are genetic that aren't necessarily morphs, or if they are they are so subtle we tend to not really play with them. Now it seems anything genetic gets a name and a spot on world of ball pythons!
Don't get me wrong, I love dinkers and a lot of the subtle morphs do weird things to other morphs which is cool. But some of them..I dunno. I haven't seen the pairing that really makes me go "wow!" They just look like normals. Really good looking normals! And when bred to a morph they look like they had parents with good genetics, but not necessarily a combo gene. But maybe they haven't found that one gene that freaks out when mixed with them..
