    Normal or ..?
    So I'm not that experienced in morphs so I'll let you guys help me out with this one, it's said that it is a dinky but I have no idea what that is..https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1cb20e9d1d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6dc6c96f89.jpg

    A dinker is a snake that someone thinks might have a heritable mutation, but it hasn't been proven yet. The animal is a normal unto proven otherwise through test breeding. That said, I can definitely see why someone wants to try proving that out.

    So the morph is just a normal?

    Yeah but that is very black and gold for a normal. Get some pics of it uncoiled... Do you plan on breeding?

    At this exact moment in time, yes. But it *could* be a mutation that can be passed on to its offspring. A dinker is a snake that looks different enough from a typical normal that someone things it might be a new gene. But it hasn't been proven yet. It gets called a normal until it has been proven to not be, because not all animals that look interesting like this prove to have a mutation that can be inherited.

    Ooh I see , so is that how all the other morphs are when they are first founded too? It gets called a dinky until it gets proven to be a new gene?

    Its a normal until bred and proven otherwise. This animal would have green eyes if it was a pastel.

    Is that the difference between a normal and a pastel? Green eyes?

    No green eyes are not the only characteristics to identify a pastel, and this animal is not a pastel.
