Good Looking Clown?

Hi. I'm considering purchasing a clown for my small collection and was hoping that some of you might help me. I'm not really experienced with clowns so would appreciate your opinions on this one...

Thanks in advance!

im not too familiar with them either, but to me it looks kinda like a pastel clown, either way lovely snake, definitly worth having IMO:gj:

i would jump at the chance for anything clown in my price range but unfortunately i dont have that kinda budget lol. awesome looking snake you got there though.

Oh, that looks like the one from Regius Pythons.

I think it's gorgeous, and I would 100% recommend any animal from them. :gj: Phenomenal customer service.

If I were getting into clowns I would totally pick up this 66% het male, too. He's just so strongly marked I have no doubt at all, and is gorgeous besides.

I kind of want to pick him up anyway, but I'm being strong. If someone else buys him the temptation will be gone!

I like to see less spotting up the sides, but I love his head! He's a good looking Clown IMO.

Agreed I'd go for one with less spots, but this one is a bit prnounced, may have something else in it.

Verry pretty snake

I was thinking this as well. The head almost looks Hypo-ish and it even has some dorsal blushing?

It's a hatchling, it will change, it's nothing but a clown IMO, a nice one too.

When I make yellowbelly clowns I expect there will be spots, even if I could use a spotless clown, so having spots wouldn't deter me at all from buying a clown like this.
It's all about the project you plan on using that clown in, unless you're just looking for eye candy and don't care what it produces.

Not a Pastel Clown but a very nice looking Clown though.

Nice looking clown. Hasn't even shed yet in that photo. Nothing else going on there genetically. Clowns vary a lot in both color and pattern just like any other morph. They can have a lot of yellow and orange, especially as hatchlings, and the head fade is normal. Some have a melty pattern on the head like that one, while the high contrast ones tend to have distinct head markings that can look like the inkblots used in psycological evaluations. It is all about what you like, and what you think will blend well with the other genes you want to work in. My perfect clown is very reduced, but has some nice drips coming down off the dorsal stripe, but little or no spotting. An interesting head pattern is my favorite feature though.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think I'm going to go for it. She's a looker!
