I don't even fully understand what I'm looking at, except that it's awesome! :O

Super cool!! It almost doesn't even look like a ball.

Lookin good Dave.

super coolllll.....

Love it!

never heared about that "blade"-gene.

so basically you just add a codominant to a recessive clown and it will look super-reduced like that?

so when you breed that to a regular clown, half of the hatchlings will look like that?

thanks for sharing.

It's neat but I like my clowns with a little mor pattern than that. But that's just me.

Pretty cool looking ball! :gj:

Wow he's so cool looking.

Not what I'd expect considering what the "plain" blade looks like http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/blade/

That is a sweet clown. So is it carrying the blade gene or is it being called a blade clown because of the reduced pattern?

Sweet!

The reduced pattern gene that he has is called Blade.

Responded to the wrong one above. Yeah the Blade seems to chop up back pattern in other combos, but not in the Clown.

Oh my gosh...I absolutely love him!!!

so what do blades go for? That is going to be a must have for many clown projects

Hes nice. I'm not a fan personally but i can appreciate his good looks!

LOVE it :thumbup:

Yeah I reckon there is more than one camp out there on the Clowns. Good news for the busy Clown lovers is that those are quite a bit less expensive.

Is it just me, or does the Blade and it's combo's look kind of Enchi-ish?

Very nice animal regardless.

sweet lookin genetic stripe ya got there. ;) i can see the blade project really taking off for what it does in the clown alone.

this one is really extreme; on the one hand i like reduced clown but on the other hand some pattern is still nice.

also WOBP has a butter blade clown, which is nicely reduced and has a full backstripe but still some nice side patterning:

i guess this must also be a really reduced line of clown. or would any clown do that if it has the blade gene?

just for fun, enchi clown:

no. jinx's is just a really reduced one. possibly a super blade (if im not mistaken, right jinx?). the girl we recently picked up from sean bradley is one of his "busier" blade clowns.

He is likely a really reduced Blade Clown. The Super Blade Clowns have a more reduced head pattern.

I like that gal you have there, she has cool pattern and great color.

i really suspect the gene to be rather similar to enchi, but there are not enough combos to really confirm it beyond doubt.

the pastel super blade looks like it could be a pastel super enchi. and the less reduced blade clown looks much like an enchi clown.

also i would like to know if blade and enchi are allelic, and what a blade champagne looks like. and enchi blade, of course.

anyway, when i search for differences between blade and enchi in different combos, i keep finding similarities.

oh, and for all that like busy clowns: check pastel enchi clown, pinstripe clown, and lemonblast clown. these are busy patterned in rather unique ways.

I agree an Enchi and Blade pairing is needed. I plan to pick up a Enchi just for this Clown boy at some point, so since my guy is likely a Super (Sean is now thinking he is), then we will know from my end at some point. I am sure someone else will have an answer for that sooner than I will though.

Yeah, I'm on the fence. I like a reduced clown. But not quite that much...

From what I've seen, he's an obvious Super. Time will tell... Awesome stuff Dave. I'm more of a pattern fan, though.

What I like about this guy is that he is the extreme. Hard to get more reduced. Just opens up a certain avenue for combos. A busier Clown for sure has its place as well.
