    I love piebalds and their combinations, so that is a lot of what I am working with. I am not sure how much your money converts to in U.S. dollars, but if you had enough I would get both a clown and a piebald, male and female to try and breed for clown piebalds.

    the op would only produce dh snakes from a clown and pied pair ( both just being visible for the single trait).
    I look for something you like and if the combo is out of your price range just get the base for it and try luck at breeding. it just takes time and well worth the effort ( coming form a guy who produced his first pied this year.)

    I am aware that they would only have double het. clown piebald snakes, but it would be a very cool thing to try for in the future.

    buy the snake that catches your eye. if you're thinking about breeding get your females first.

    I would but the one you like the most that you can afford! Definately buy females if you are planning to breed! It takes 3 years to get a female up to breeding size but males only take up to a year! You should buy a male super pastel and a female clown if you want killer clowns!

    Hi,

    Have you seen the lesser clowns?

    A good sized female clown and a male lesser might be a good combo for your money.

    I know it is what I dream of at night.

    Hi,

    Here are some pics PantherCZ took of Brocks snakes;









    There is a group shot of them in John Berry's new edition of designer morphs (page 82 if memory serves ).

    They are almost heart stoppingly beautiful.
