    My Dinkasaurus Rex

    Here is a project I am proving out this season for a dinker that is likely a part of the Super Stripe / Ivory complex. This male is an African import brought in by a local reptile store years back as a hatchling. The owner thought he looked unique and picked him up as a pet. After growing him up they decided they would like to find out if anything genetic is at play, and attempted to do so with a friend. Unfortunately that pairing did not result in eggs and the owner decided to try again with another breeder (me).

    I first spotted this snake in a thread on reptilescanada.com and messaged the owner almost immediately inquiring about offspring for sale. That is when they notified me that there has yet to be a successful pairing, and discussions began about my working on the project.

    Without further hesitation,
    Here is "Dinkasaurus Rex"

    Here are some various photos (taken by the owner)










    These are more recent photos:





    And lastly an older belly shot:



    We are putting him to a couple of our 'extra' normal females to try and increase the odds of a) having a viable clutch, and b) hatching offspring that carry the trait. Either way, this is my first dinking endeavor and pending the results, probably wont be my last.

    It is quite possible - that is why I mentioned him likely being in the Super Stripe complex; also talked to some big breeders regarding him and they all said I should throw him to a YB female.
