I wonder if you could hand pick pastel possible het clowns if they show so clean colored yellows and darks?

I've seen quite a few hets look different from their regular counterpart. And I personally believe that the het gene can improve the look of a snake. I'm not saying all hets are like this, but there are some. Like take hypos for example, some het hypos are very bright due to the hypo gene.
And I've seen some normal het clowns where the clown gene really shines through and changes the "normal look". But I still wouldn't guarantee a het just by physical looks alone though. Like, I've seen pastel het clowns look just as dirty as some regular low quality pastels.
I think it varies just like every morph out there. There are great examples and poor examples. Some hets show their het gene very strongly, while others don't.
Maybe someday ill pair this girl to my pinstripe. Lemonblasts are usually pretty dark and dirty imo, so I would like to see if she would pass on her bright clean colors.
Her brother who was a pastel het clown looked equally bright and clean.

Thank you!
I wish she were a little fatter too. But she's a semi-picky eater. She seems to eat consistently every other week compared to my 4 day feeding schedule for babies.
Try Ralph Davis, BHP, and I believe Outback Reptiles. They seem to work w/ clowns a lot. (Ralph more w/ lesser het clowns than pastels).
The breeder I named in my original post had a nice stock. The brother to this snake was equally bright, if not better looking in my opinion.
