Looks like a Poss het to me.

do you understand the difference between a possible het and a het? and there's no way to tell by a pic. the clown gene will change the appearance of some morphs. with pastels it will usually make them brighter. but don't bet your money on it. to most breeders, a pos het isn't worth the time and effort you need to put into a female for just a maybe. I would rather spend 250 for a 100% het clown female than buying a pastel pos het clown female. if you want to take the chance, I wouldn't pay nothing more than what it's worth as a pastel female. he should accept that as a pos het anything is a hard sell. hope this helps you make a good decision. don

At least not with that one anyway.. I know a few people that have picked put the hets from a possible het clutch 100% accurately every time. Even if you have never bred them before, that snake does not look like other pastel het clowns out there.

I say breed it to a clown.

I myself do NOT know how to tell 100% hets from non hets. However, there are some people on this forum who claim to be able to do that.....even with het and non het albinos :eek: That is why im posting pics and asking opinions. And yes, i DO understand the difference between an actual het and a poss het. Gimme a little credit here, im not that much of a noob :p

It would be really hard for anyone to make an educated guess without seeing the clutch mates for comparison.

[4theSNAKElady]

Yeah, it makes sense. Im torn tho, cuz if she was 100% het clown, that would really be a huge jump forward for my killer clown project. Shes already breeding size, and i could get a male pastel clown or a pastel het n start producing next year for my project. Especially if she was a good price. Im on the fence with this one tho....my friend bought her directly from the breeder at a show as a hatchling. Maybe i can get more info if he remembers whether or not her clutchmates were there for sale or not.

It is a pastel poss het clown. If a breeder could accurately pick out the hets in a possible het clutch they would. They would also charge the 100% het price tag.
