Can you point me to a pic of a spider het clown?
There was a thread on the VPI breeders bragging post years ago with some het clowns that looked fairly clown like. I’ve wondered if egg stress can expose the clown gene in some hets. Maybe having another defective gene is enough stress to also make clown co-dominant?
I have a 4,000 gram VPI produced female that threw a clown like daughter years ago although she was sold 2nd hand to me as a normal. I loaned her out twice to breed to clown males on the off chance she was a possible het but no eggs either time. She has been a very inconsistent producer but her last clutch (14 eggs) was to a spider and I have a really faded spider daughter that I'm hoping will be a better breeder. I may have to break down and buy a het clown male for them.
