    You more then likely have a Normal male...I would breed it to a Normal if You want to play.

    It wouldn't make since to spend a lot of money on a female Morph and breed a Normal Male to her.

    A dinker project is a project where you breed an otherwise normal animal that looks "different" to try and prove that it is a genetic trait. Like taking a cool looking snake and proving it out as a new morph.

    A Dinker is an unproven animal that you are trying to prove out to be genetic.

    And the Dinking process is to breed the animal in question to see if it is reproduceable, be it Co-dom or recessive (aka breed for one season, then breed the babies back to the visual parent).

    It takes a while.

    Re: Dinker question !!!

    One other thing to note, breedable (not breadable) weight females often won't go for you so soon after you bring them home - it sometimes takes them up to a year to acclimate in their new environment before they are receptive to breeding.

    There's really no short-cuts to breeding.

    No, she won't be ready this season - she needs to be at least 1500 grams, which is 800 grams of growth in about five months, and very unhealthy for her.

    I would recommend spending this next year learning as much as you can from the site, enjoy raising your girl up slowly and healthy so that she can go for you next year.

    I spent almost 3 years raising baby females up to breeding weight before I bred my first snake. And I picked the brains of as many people as I could during those three years.

    I disagree with part of your response, its completely feasible for a 700 gram girl to go late next breeding season (like february), definately not a for sure but possible. This is all assuming that this will be her 3rd winter. This is all assuming that this will be her 3rd winter.

    But I do agree completely with the spending as much time possible learning and reading everything possible before you attempt to breed.

    Re: Dinker question !!!

    She is 2006 Petco ball I just this year increase her feeding from 2 mice to 3 and 3 months ago she start taking 4
    Around 2 weeks ago she take her first small rat
    Unfortunately sometimes is hard to say difference between petco small and medium rats so its something between small and medium every 7 - 10 days right now
