    Where did you get your dinkers?

    I'm curious as to where everyone has gotten their dinkers. I know there are several people on here that have gotten them as imports. JnJ used to have a really good "odd ball" page that I really enjoyed looking at, but since they changed around their business (maybe branched off from a larger one?) they don't have all the odd balls anymore.

    Any good sites to look at them? They don't have to be clean or reputable per-say, I just like to look at the pictures.

    Dinks are us....they have stores nationwide.

    You can usually find many people selling them on Kingsnake. Find any BP importer, they'll have the most of them.

    I'll have to google DinksRus, thanks BG

    I'll have to look on kingsnake, I've heard there are some on there. I'll just have to look harder I suppose.

    Re: Where did you get your dinkers?

    Nearly every importer will sort through all of the ball pythons that come in and set a few unusual or interesting looking ones aside to sell at a higher price as 'specials'. I got some years ago from Ben Siegel, they all turned out to be normals so far, but at least they're cool looking normals. Well worth the price in my opinion.

    That's too bad they are all normals so far. I would definitely pay more for a cool looking normal! Thanks for the info!

    Do importers not keep the ones they think are new morphs?

    David Fernandez gets some beautiful dinkers, and advertises them on KS (or is it Fauna?). I was recently talking with him about a striped male, but just decided I can't afford it right now... you should do a search for him on the classified sites!

    Not unless they're really super duper extra special. Importers get a LOT of interesting stuff coming in and there just isn't enough time to dink with everything.

    Breeders who import will usually bring quite a few more animals in than they personally want or need in order to subsidize their more interesting acquisitions. We've got a couple guys here who I look for at local shows to see what they've brought on their most recent trips overseas, and from whom I've picked up a number of interesting dinkers.
