freshly Shed: Fire Calico, Clown, & our new Orange Ghost

I had a bunch of snakes shed so I spent the evening with a bottle of wine and photographing some of the most beautiful, freshly shed snakes in our collection! I hope you don't mind me sharing!

Here is our male clown.....can any words describe this little guy? Maybe phenomenal...beautiful...stunning?!?! He is just plain ol' awesome!

Here is our 2012 female Calico who gets whiter and better with every shed:

And here is our 2013 Female Orange Ghost we won a few days ago from George Vesper Ball Pythons. She is a very nice OG/Hypo and has a higher contrast than my current OG pair. She will fit in nicely with our breeding plans going forward :gj:

usually prefer clowns with a more reduced pattern, but that lil dude is hot.

I know that is the norm, and I spent many days looking at different Clowns. I just prefer the busier pattern clowns due to the high contrast and awesome pattern. Plus, I think they lend themselves better when combined with busier morphs which is my future goal projects (Candied Clown, Bumblebee Candied Clowns, Pinstripe Clowns, leopard Clowns) which is why I just fell head over heels with this little feller when I saw him :gj:

SMoking clown. Wow. Amazing to me that he has nothing else in him. I like both extremes of clowns. Gotta love anything Calico. Nice snakes. :gj:

I agree with you. I have yet to work with the morph but from what I've seen I really prefer the busier patterns over the reduced ones.

thanks :banana:I almost bought a pastel Clown but when I saw him I fell in love and couldn't justify the $1000 upcharge for the pastel component. Calico anything is amazing, but combined with Fire (and enchi) it really takes it to a whole different level. Thanks again! :gj:

Gah! That clown! Unreal!

That clown is tricked out man! My favorite of course is your fire calico and that OG is as orange as they come! Very nice!

They're all beautiful!

Clowns with pattern....that clown is stunning!
That Ghost is making me drool

My plan is to put the two together lol. I already have a 1.1 100% Het Orange Ghost Clown pair and I'll be putting that sexy clown to our killer Humblebee female next season. I want a Bumblebee Candied Clown :-)

I'm another one who prefers more reduced, bright clowns, but that guy is a knockout. I'd be happy to own him and work him into a cinny clown project ;)

EDIT: you know josh... If we combined him and all his donuts with my girl and her donuts we could probably open a Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme franchise! :gj:

Wow they are all awesome! I'm loving that calico! And of course the clown, there is a breeder here in Iowa that works with super busy clowns that look like that and I love them!
