Question for those with clowns
So, reading about bp morphs in Ball Pythons by the Barkers, they say the following about the clown morph:
"This morph was named 'clown' because the first known specimen had a single dark dot beneath one eye, reminiscent of a clown's painted-on teardrop. Some of the descendant lown morphs have this marking, but as it turns out, the clown tear is not a characteristic marking." I had always wondered about the story behind the name clown and now I (and you, if you didn't and read this) know. My question is, have any of you ever seen a clown with this characteristic marking and even better, anyone have a picture or a link to a picture of a clown with this mark? Just curious. =)

Re: Question for those with clowns
In trying to answer my own question, does the picture of the clown in "The Ball Python Manual" by de Vosjoli, Barker, Barker and Klingenberg 1994 show the "clown's tear"?
