Show me why your bp is a dinker !?

[stevepoppers]

I really like that shiny. Kinda reminds me of a rainbow boa.

[Tempestas]

now that is a special BP right there !

Thanks Pat, Believe it or not I was given that female as compensation when she first arrived she was in shed and I didn't notice how she looked, There is something about her but what that is the question lol I have been told she looks like a Browned out axanthic but without any proof the possibilitys could be endless.

To the best of my understanding, a "dinker" is pretty much any wild type ball python that looks different than most.

Some have lighter or darker coloration, some have unusual patterns or lack of patterns, some have back stripes, or completely dark backs, etc.

The term "dinker" means it is an odd looking snake that has not yet been proven out by breeding. Most never prove out, but some do. Lots of breeders enjoy toying around with their unusual snakes just to see what happens.

I myself have a lovely "dinker" male, whose back pattern is vaguely clownish and whom I hope may produce some nicely reduced pattern babies.

Would it not be any type of snake that you don't know the genetics and have to breed it out to figure it out, not necessarily just a wild type?

It is technically any snake that has something you find to be "special" and you want to find if it is genetic.

I do not have any dinkers, but I am always on the lookout.

Ok, let me correct myself.

MOST of the dinkers I've heard of are all wild types. There are probably morph dinkers out there, you just don't hear about them as often.

interesting, never thought of that... but would they really be morph dinkers cuz if someone has one, they are just going to call it a morph...

Example my yellow belly's.
The breeder paired a black pastel with a female yb and got a normal, a yb female and 2.2 like the pair I have.
He checked and was told by others that they were indeed black pastel yb's.
I've been told by numerous people that they aren't, I've been told by numerous people they look like they are.
Until I breed them and figure it out I call them "dinkers"

I wasn't trying to say anyone was wrong, your correct in that typically most dinkers are normals.

Hi,

I just wanted to see if I could get a nice black backed BP with a joined up side pattern like a really poor mans clown.

After investing all this time in them I may now have to abandon the project which bites the big one.

Female;


Male;


Plus they are siblings and it may have shown if there were any intresting genetics in the parents as the father tends to throw a lot of babies with intresting patterns.

Dinking for Het. Piebald?

I actually have a similar project with my Black Pastel, he has a ringer and a couple of Het. Piebald markers:



You can see the ringer in this picture. I actually didn't notice it until he was about 3-4 months old. He is about a 2 weeks old in this picture.
