Dinkers: Please agree with me so I feel better!

No way in heck that's a billion dollar gene....500 million tops

Should have sold it to you instead I would only charged you 499 million.

But seriously, am I off base in thinking that snake was dinker worthy, but nothing super special beyond that or am I wrong?

I'd say dinker worthy but I am in no way qualified to make that decision

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 100 BILLION DOLLARS AND ALL THE FAME I WILL WALK ON THE RED CARPET AND ALL THE GIRLS WILL LOVE ME!

On a serious note, it was more the circumstances and life situation of my family and myself during the last few years which did it. Life felt like a constant battle and to get my butt up to clean 200 tubs amongst all thst made me feel like someone who hates theur job on a monday morning. It wasn't the snakes themselves that made me not want to do it anymore.

Things are looking up now and better for us, so that's good.

that sounds like something Chris H. would say Lol.

OK fine you guys! TROLL AWAY! I had always wondered what it would be like to be in the comedy central roast anyway and since I am not famous because I didn't prove out the newest coolest super trillion dollar game changing morph this is as close as I get.

oh i only tease.


this one's kinda sad.

Looks like a new gene to me. Amazing unique snake. I like really cool reduced pattern dinkers, and have one myself. 'GODZILLA" she is my avatar photo on the left <---- I wouldn't sell my Godzilla Dinker for less than $500, simply because she is a huge 2700 gram, healthy breeder sized female, and looks exactly like the rare ARAZA morph, which I intend to prove out this year.
I personally would not have sold that gorgeous male snake DInker you have less than $1000, until I bred him and he proved out or not.
SOrry, to rub it in, just giving my honest opinion. I really like beautiful Dinkers. What I value them at, has nothing to bear on what others would value them at.

Without seeing the animal in question, I would REALLY doubt if you left a million bucks on the table, or even a fraction of it.

Could it have been a new gene? Absolutely. Is it an incredibly high value gene?....probably not, but possible.

Cool, what do you think of it now I posted the pic? Honestly.

Hey there, sorry I am not good with screen names. Have we talked before?

And who's Chris H.? Chris Hemsworth?

Hey there, thanks for your input. It is an interesting looking snake and possibly something new, that's why I picked it out to begin with. My point is I don't enjoy this anymore like I used to, and if I did it it would have been purely for some recognition or for money. And a new gene discovered isn't a million dollars in the bank like you sell the snake for a million. You still have to market it, hold back stock, and slowly sell off a female here and there, to make money without selling too much so others take over the project. Gradually manoeuvre your way through many years of marketing to try to get the most money out of it before it falls in value or other people you have sold to breeds it on a mass scale. I really don't want to do any of that at this point in my life.

I am not "away" from reptiles, I still am fascinated by them and am keeping a few tegus I have. However, as for being a full fledged breeder like I was for the years prior, no, I just dont want to do that anymore. I think I have done that enough already and I really want to move on and do other things in life.
