    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I do not collect ball pythons or breed them but I thought I might share this super nice female that i have, i got her a year and a half ago in a trade. She is super light colored.

I never really understood what dinker was. Can someone give me some info on that?
Cheers,
Curtiss

A dinker is a snake with unknown genetics that you intend to breed to prove out as a genetic morph.
That's a great looking female you have :thumbsup:
 
In a trade from where? What was she sold as? Where did the originals come from? IMO, there have been a lot of junk genes sold when breeders couldn't tell if something was morph x fire or morph x yb or morph x vanilla and all these "new genes" are being picked up from Petstores, Craigslist, etc...

If one can't trace the new genetics directly from AFRICA (or wherever) those genes are suspect at best since we have cross bred almost everything under the sun. lol
 
info

Thank you everyone for the feed back,
she was in a trade i found on Craigslist. I traded my mangrove monitor for her, not CH, the person that did the trade with me didn't really have any info on her parents or anything. She is currently at 1000 grams, i will upload more pictures soon.
thank you,
Curtiss
 
Not quite the pattern of the "Ultra Josie" (Which I personally dont believe to be proven yet, but Im starting to accept the "Joise" as a morph) But anyways... she resembles a ghost line quite a bit, definitely worth it to keep feeding her good and breed her next year, If u ever wanna sell her lemme know, I got some cool stuff to trade to. Enjoy her!
