Would like some opinion's on my pursuit of Killer clown's?

Yea, I do like the super reduced pattern on this male. But, I also like a pastel clown with some busy side pattern's.
I wonder if the super reduced pattern is just a random outcome? I wonder if all of his offspring will carry this super reduced pattern? hm

http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/.../IMG958510.jpgHere's today's pic of the broken line. Very nice but I still kinda want the other male.

http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/...58ec6abd91.jpgI think with alittle more shed's and more growth and weight. This male should be just or close in yellow brightness as the broken line. IMO

Ok, so here is a updated picture (today) of the male that I think I will go with. He is HOT! But, I do notice he is not as yellow as the broken line which I know. But, then again the broken line pastel 3 is older by a month or so. And, here is the female pastel 100%het clown. Garrick only has her left from 11' season. She's nice I do notice from the picture that her body there seem's to be a slight slope in her back near her head? Like the contour is not completely portion from head to toe (figurely speaking,lol.) . Or, it's just the angle and I'm over looking the picture. As, long as she gives me my killer clown then that's all I need.

That really reduced guy is amazing, but the one you chose would have been my second choice and is probably a better value. Looking forward to seeing what you will make with that pair in 2-3 years. I produced a bunch of pastel 100% het clowns myself this past season using a clown male and 2 pastel girls. I can't wait to get these babies up to size.

For those that think I should pick the super reduced pastel clown male? Please tell me WHY you guy's think I should choose him? Is a super reduced pattern rare? Does it make the offspring more unique? Is it just because you like a blank clean canvas on bps? I know the yellow will stay thru out it's life garrick has a yearling that is still bright yellow. Will the babies have this super reduced pattern? Will see

It depends on the morph...some things I like busy, others I prefer reduced. When it comes to clowns, reduced makes for a much more desirable snake in my opinion. Pair him up with a clean, bright yellow pastel het clown, and you're bound to make some INCREDIBLE babies.

Clowns are not my thing at all, but that reduced pattern pastel clown makes me rethink that, because that is a striking animal, IMO. The other ones you've shown us just don't do anything for me.

The really reduced pattern clowns are in higher demand just because most people seem to prefer that look. It appears randomly, a reduced snake can make reduced babies and busy babies . A pair of busy clowns can throw a reduced baby as well, but logic says that the reduced ones are more likely to produce more reduced ones.

Reduced clowns are not exactly rare, but there are definitely more busy ones and not so reduced ones available than there are reduced ones. A clown that is both reduced AND a pastel is very hard to come by.
