Pastel Clown x Pastel Het Clown. I purchased her as a het clown, but i always hold a small level of skepticism in case of honest mistakes, so i won't know for sure until i actually breed her. That's the tricky part with Hets though, it's tough to pick them out!

4. Het for Clown

I didn't produce her, so i'll find out for sure in a couple of years. I do agree that she could look het Albino too, but her busy pattern and alien heads make me lean more towards het Clown.
Thanks for playing!

can you explain this? here's a pic of one of my het clown females. I did not purchase this female. I produce her.

I'm the same way, I don't like to call them 100% until I know it for sure.
I have a female het Clown that I was hoping would go this year but didn't.

Man they really missed some odds on that one!!

I did not mention anything about the rest of the clutch, unless there was a misunderstanding somewhere.

Pastel Clowns and Clowns were in fact produced in the same clutch.

Yeah, I meant on that particular snake. I would be pretty bummed to produce a normal het on that pairing.

I've seen a lot of het clowns that have a similar pattern as mine. I've also seen het clowns that have a reduced pattern like yours. I'm definitely not an expert on the topic. I started this thread because i thought it would be interesting to hear which visual traits people look for in certain hets.

Ahh ok gotcha. Yeah, i'd be bummed too, but a 1/8 chance of hitting a normal isn't low.

What do I win?

I have hets that look like the one I posted and I have them that look like the one you posted. I also produced normal that also looked like yours and mine. I agree that recessive can change the look of a het. but for someone to say that they can be 100% at picking them out (not saying you said this) I would like to see it done with 50 to 100 snakes. I would be glad if there was a way. I hate making photo I.D's

what I look for in certain hets isn't that interesting, I buy from some that's trusted and I also look for a photo I.D.
a photo I.D. is only as good as the person supplying it.
