Yeah thats a really good deal, you just gotta be careful with certain people on kingsnake. I dont know anything about this supplier though, maybe others can comment on that?

Oh yeah I am definetly going to ask around first.

look them up on the BOI. otherwise give them a call and talk to them yourself. I would go for it.

WOW that girl is gorgeous! and a nice clear belly!!!! def a dinker!! I would jump on both those once you look up the sellers on BOI!

I saw that Male, it looks pretty nice and the price is right. I have no idea about the seller though.

I think i am going to get he female dinker I worked a deal with the seller for a slightly reduced price. I wanna breed her to a pastel when shes big enough see what happens might have some really nice pastels for my pastave project. Man look how far ahead of myself I just got its gonna be years before any of that.

Where the heck is BOI on KS I cant find and have never used.

the BOI is on Fauna. And good luck, the dinker girl is gorgeous!!

that explains why I couldnt find it lol. thanks.

Yeah I found it. Didnt do me any good though, none of the sellers where on it. see if anyone replies to me on there.

doesn't KS have some kind of polite inquiry forum now too? maybe not as effective as the BOI, but could help, right?

Look around at shows, you'll find better prices and you'll get to see the animal in person.

I bought a female last year that STILL looks like the day I bought her; bright yellow. Bought her before she had had her first shed for a whole $15 and she looks alot like that dinker female(except mine has booger spots on her nose). I definitely wouldn't pay $175 for her.. There are alot of babies coming out of Ghana right now.

my little $15 high yellow 07 female:

Well, following the link to kingsnake, it said that the seller you are looking to buy that hypo or dinker from goes by the business name of dark forest reptiles. I did a search on the BOI for you and came up with quite a few red flags...animals not shipped after payment was recieved, animals not shipped after trade animals were received, poor shipping practices, unhealthy mite infested animals, rude behavior, refunds not sent after animals were sent back...I mean you name it, this guy has done it. I would steer clear and find someone with a better reputation to deal with if I were you.

Not impressed with the hypo, personally. Something to be said for "you get what you pay for" or it seems with Rainforest Reptiles - you don't get what you pay for.

thanks guys. I am still interested in that dinker though . I would do like satainic said and go to a show but cali sux for shows only 2 this year. cant make san diego (friends wedding) and anahiem im still not sure about.

Personally, I don't think I'd pay $175 for anything that wasn't a proven morph.

I've seen some interesting stuff for under $50. At the show where we picked up our female, there was a snake that was being sold as a normal (I think around $30) that had a decidedly green tint to it. If it had been female, I probably would have bought it. While I've seen some pics online that looked greenish, you can never knnow how true the colors are showing up on your monitor. I have never before or since seen a BP in person that looked as green as that one did (or at least not as green of my memory of it is...lol)

I've also seen het pied males for $45 from someone who is not very well known, but the little info I could find on the BOI was all positive, and while there wasn't much, it did go back a few years.

Those are just the 2 that stand out the most, but I've seen others too.

BUT, the bottom line is: if you are happy with your purchase, then the price is ok.

That is not a bad price at all if you think about it.
Best case scenario is you paid $175 you get a female that could prove to be a new morph.
Worst case scenario is you paid $175 for a really nice female that you can produce many clutches with in the future.

You can use that $175 and get an adult female who is ready to breed. There are quite a few nice ones out there, you just have to look.

There are one or two nice breedable male Hypos on KS right now, priced around $750 and up. There are also some Hypo male and female het hypo pairs there too.

THats the way I see it. I just like her complete lace of blushing. She has no brown on her at all I just like that look. I understand what others are saying too but I like her so I dont mind paying that much. Hell when I first got into bp's I payed 110 for my female, then come to find out I could get them for 30 bucks I was furious. lol. THats what I get for not looking around. :rolleye2:

Well with the hypo thing I can wait on that I am not even that interested in that hypo I put up I just figured that it might be a good deal. Hypo isnt on the top of my list of things to get.
