    It almost looks like a pastel desert with an insane head pattern :gj:.

    OMG...what a gorgeous snake!

    :O

    I have 2 100% het Clowns who have produced Clowns for their former owner.

    To me, they just look like normals.

    I also have a Kobylka 100% het Clown male and he just looks normal, too.

    Unless I can get them to produce babies this season, I reckon I'll never know for sure.

    I also have an alleged het Albino but without any males for her, I'm just considering her to be a normal.

    I think that some 100% het clowns do have a 'look' to them, but not all.
    The clown gene is pretty prominent in the physical appearance of certain snakes (Like that Super pastel in the previous post), but there are some that look 'normal'.
    I have a female pastel 100% het clown that seems to be brighter and cleaner than the typical pastel. Some of her neck pattern seems to have larger alien eyes, which usually indicates clown to me in some snakes.
    I don't know if it's coincidence, but she even has the same head cap pattern as that het clown super pastel as well. And I've seen that head cap pattern on 3 other non related pastel 100% het clowns now.

    In certain examples, I believe the het gene really shines through.
    In normal het. clowns, I've noticed that the stripe on the back of their necks(or their dorsal stripes in general) are usually a fat thick stripe compared to thinner stripes of normal normals. Salamander's second snake has this trait. I'm sure there are exceptions and I could be totally wrong with this, but that's what I've noticed with most of the het. clowns I've seen.


    Here's my pastel 100% het clown girl.

    Agreed. If you only have room for 1, go with 100%.

    Some het clowns are much brighter and just have a "look" to them, that's difficult to explain. I don't see that "look" in those poss hets.

    To me, personally, neither look like het clowns. If I were to bet on it, I'd go with neither proving out.

    Is she?

    I honestly don't know.

    I think she has a funky cool pattern and that's about it....LOL

    Her name is Agnes and for reasons that elude me, she cost more than the other girl, Leah.
