Weeel... I'm not sure you'd call my project 'dinking' or not. That normal female I rescued has a granite-y pattern, darker than usual dark scales and lighter light scales. In addition, I picked up a very gold normal male that I want to put with her to see what comes about. Not exactly dinking, but I think they'll produce some interesting little ones.
Here's Hera, the female, when I first got her. Her colors have a lot more contrast now, but she's been a bit grouchy since the weather chilled and hard to get new pictures of.
And the male, Zeus. The lighting does nothing to show how golden he really is.

Here's a picture I took today of my dinker girl (NF1) after putting my Pastel Male in her cage. She is an '04 female that was a really picky eater when I purchased her in 2006. She didn't produce anything during the 06-07 season, and due to her pattern of going off feed, I didn't breed her last year. She's up to weight this year and has been locking with my Pastel male. I'm hoping to finally get some hatchlings from her! The Pastel male looks dull in this picture and weighs over 925g.
This picture is not so great but she has a little granite thing going on and a lot of blushing. She seems to get more orange with each shed. She shed the day after this pic was taken.
