*NEW* Female Pastel het Clown!

It took me a while to find a clean non-browned out pastel. And I found her! I'm just really excited! :D

After 3 months of transaction and some last minute miscommunications with the breeder, my female Pastel 100% het Clown has finally arrived!!:banana::banana::banana:

She's a 9/2011 baby and around 300 grams. She was bred by Tim Koppenhofer (specialkreptiles). <<-- Great and honest guy to work with, btw.


I love how morph hets look so beautiful. Their het gene really shines through at times. I have a younger pastel girl who is already browning out terribly.

And I'll bust out the light tent once she sheds.

But in the mean time, here are some pictures:

Thanks for looking~

Stunning Pastel!!! I really love the colors and pattern on her head!

congrats she's very beautiful. I'm hoping to pick up a pastel het clown in a few weeks.

thats a nice pastel i like how shes bright yellow like that :gj:

Should make some awesome pastel clowns, sweet pickup!

Gorgeous!

Very good looking pastel!

wow yellow :O! NICE really nice thats how pastels should look!

O my yellow!

HOT! nice looking snake satomi!

Thank you everyone!
I'm hoping she passes on her bright colors to her future offspring someday!

wow! look at that thing! that may be the nicest pastel I have ever seen.

Whew, she's clean! Lovely snake, I'm sure she'll make nice babies for you.

I agree, she's very clean and I like how crisp her yellows are

She is beautiful, great pickup!

Absolutely stunning snake!

I had a breeder once tell me that pastel het clowns hold their color very well. This one shows that very well so far. Anyone else heard that? Anyone have an adult pastel het clown to compare? I'm not trying to hijack. I'm jus curious. I bet she would make great bees!

She's gorgeous! I'm acquiring a Pastel Het Clown this week and she's not quite as bright yellow as that. I don't think I've even seen many pastels that bright! Good find there! Congrats. =)

Very nice pastel!

She's glowing! A superb example of a pastel indeed. I dont know if its just me, but Ive been seeing alot of pastel het for "something" that is very good looking compared to non hets. Does it mean the het thing plays a role in intensifying the color and sometimes even pattern of the pastel gene?

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.

Extremely jealous! She's a solid 10!
