#1 because its one of the nicest pastel males I think I have personally seen to date.....#2 to me, that's part of the fun of breeding (unlike most, I am not in it for the money, I'm in it for the fun so dinking and trying to prove out genes is fun to me)...#3 like I said that snakes has enough of a pronounced head stamp and enough remarkable blushing that I would take the gamble that he would prove out.....thus making him worth well more than $300 or the $160 I would have paid
But again, just me. I love my dinkers and if he were just a het is say hell no, but if I were the OP I would get him, find a pastel het or poss het clown female and at the WORST end up with really nice pastels and supers.....and at best, he proves!
