Good example of a clown?

Not my pic. Considering paying 200$https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...yd_600x450.jpg

What do you think?

If you like the look go for it. He's not high enough contrast for my taste. But that's just my taste. :)

he will be a pet only. I'm not a breeder

If he's just a pet then the only person he needs to make happy is you. :)

I just want to provide a good home for him

I'm sure you can do that regardless if he's a good example of the morph or not. Go for it.

I think the health of a pet is more important than the color or pattern. The picture of the snake above shows an animal that is thin and most likely in shed. It looks like a lot of my breeding males after a long fast. If it is a pet, you want a good solid eater. Just some things to consider.

^^ this x 100

Not sure where that little thumbs down thing came from on my post...must have accidentally clicked something.

He is a clown at the end of the day and he only needs to please you. However if you do decide to breed him you could selectively pick out a higher quality female clown or another morph you prefer.

I got him !!!! I am not a breeder and he seems in good health so I went ahead and got him

Is it a male or female? Even if it's a male $200 is a great price. If it's a female its worth at least double that. I like that color and pattern, personally I'd breed it, you could cross it with a clown with a different color and pattern and get a mix. You'd make some good money breeding clowns, some people prefer to breed them over pieds.

Nice looking snake regardless, enjoy. Glad you got him.
