    Thank you, I’m guessing this has something, but no Pastel...

    Re: Pastel Clown Ball Python or not?

    Absolutely. I still think the seller is responsible for selling something different. Though, in my case, I’m not looking for a refund or anything. I don’t like the Pastel gene anyway, I grabbed this for a very good price from an auction...

    I am thinking the same, but what could the other gene be?

    Here are some pastel clown I produced for reference, see the head pattern

    Thank you for the input. Do you think this animal has some other gene maybe?

    I would say there is a good chance, I have never seen a single gene clown with that much blushing, the problem is those days there are so many different mutation that are subtle and that produce very similar results that it would be hard to guess.

    When you purchase the snake were you told what the pairing was?

    Could that be a Black Pastel Clown?

    Unfortunately, the seller I got this from bought it from some overseas breeder. So, the pairing is unknown.

    Thank you. I guess it is infact just a Clown. So, no chance there is Pastel here?

    Pastel Clowns and Killer Clowns have what i like to refer to as muertes skull or sugar skull headstamps. also not Black Pastel Clown either - they have bald heads and the colors are off.

    i think it's just a blushed Clown and there's nothing else at work (unless it's influenced by being het for another recessive gene).
