    Possible dinker hatchling?

    I've recently hatched out my first clutch (many thanks to all of the posts here that have helped my process immensely) and I'm wondering if I should consider holding back this normal. The pairing was a black pastel x normal, but since the 3 normals all seem to have pattern abnormalities I'm considering there may be more going on genetically. Is this a normal I should hold on to?

    Looks pretty normal to me. I guess the pattern is a bit busier than usual, but I wouldn't hold it back.

    A dinker project could take you a decade to prove out, you better be certain you want to do it.

    Line selective breeding could take you longer.

    In either case, be certain you have a reason to do it, and go from there. If the other snakes have very similar whatever you are seeing, you may have something to work with, again it will take a long time to achieve
