But, if curiosity gets the better of you, you could have her tested: https://raregeneticsinc.com/testing/.

Re: Meet Freyja
I'm confused. The website says they test for clown. Isn't that what we're talking about?

Nah, I think there is another gene in there at low expression. I think Het Clown is a pretty safe bet, but, no one has commented about the other one. :)

So, you don't think the 30 Morph Panel Test would identify the other morph(s) at work?

As I said before: It really doesn't matter, and I don't do IDs because people get very passionate in the forums. I'm just surprised no one said anything. :)

Yes, you are correct. The panel completely misses testing for this gene, and I'm pretty surprised as it is becoming much more common. I had to check all the lists like 5 times-to make sure.

If I was going to sell that snake I probably would have marked it as only a 66% Het Clown as well to avoid confusion.

That's good, since that sort of guessing leads to a fair number of mislabeled animals (of other species; I couldn't say how bad this is in ball pythons specifically) on the market. Even a "looks like a..." hypothesis can easily turn into "some knowledgable sounding breeder told me it is a ....". Given that the odds of any given ball python not finding its way back into the market at some point are slim, that label can stick.
Unless a person is willing to test breed it to confirm, it is probably best not to know.
