thats for black pewter clown? so if i get a normal clown wat could i make out of that? or would i have to wait til 2nd gen to see somethin good

I would take some time to learn how recessive genes work before spending any money on a recessive project.

If you got a normal clown, say a male, you can to breed it to black pastel and pastel females to get 100% het babies. Then you could breed the babies together to get your black pewter clown. It would take quite a few years if you get the girls as babies (2-3 years until they can breed) and then another 2-3 years until the female baby can breed.

its a 5-year-project, at least, since it will take 2 generations, at least.

clown to pewter het clown, or pastel clown to black pastel clown, or black pastel het clown to pastel het clown are basically the only ways to make it in one generation, with varying odds depending how many genes you start with when trying to hit it.

if you want to make more than one, effectively, work towards getting pastel clowns, super pastel clowns, and black pastel clowns. then you can have nice odds, up to 50% for the desired black pewter clown.

breeding clown to pastel and black pastel and then breeding pastel het clown to black pastel het clown is how you would obviously start if you only have single-gene versions. but 75% of the stuff you get will be possible het clowns, and you only have a 6.25% chance of hitting black pewter clown right away.

a double-recessive like axanthic clown is about as difficult to reach, maybe a bit harder because you have more genes that are invisible in the het form.

do u get this info off worldofbps? and wat are the chances i get a black pewter clown with clown x black pewter het clown combo?
i was thinkin breed a clown to a black pewter, then breed the offsprings which would be double het right? or would that be the long route?

You know of WOBPs website. Go on there and it will tell you your "chances" of hitting the combo you want.

There will be no double hets in your clutch since you are only dealing with ONE recessive trait. As been said, do a little homework on the recessive traits before investing in them. They can be hard to understand at first.

To answer your question, which i belive is basically, Whats the fastest way to get a Black Pewter Clown?
I would go Pastel Clown x Black Pastel Clown. Pastel clowns are fairly common, Black Pastel Clowns may be a little trickier to track down right away, especially an above hatchling female

It's not exactly a 5 yr project if you have the right animals and get lucky. I've done something similar in 2 years.
