    Question for those with clowns
    So, reading about bp morphs in Ball Pythons by the Barkers, they say the following about the clown morph:

    "This morph was named 'clown' because the first known specimen had a single dark dot beneath one eye, reminiscent of a clown's painted-on teardrop. Some of the descendant lown morphs have this marking, but as it turns out, the clown tear is not a characteristic marking."
    I had always wondered about the story behind the name clown and now I (and you, if you didn't and read this) know. My question is, have any of you ever seen a clown with this characteristic marking and even better, anyone have a picture or a link to a picture of a clown with this mark? Just curious. =)

    In trying to answer my own question, does the picture of the clown in "The Ball Python Manual" by de Vosjoli, Barker, Barker and Klingenberg 1994 show the "clown's tear"?
