Morph het clowns

[TheReptileEnthusiast]

This is a really informative/interesting thread!

Although it's kind of depressing because, after looking at all the het. clowns, it makes me think my spider 50% het clown does not carry the gene.

Remember, the observations that have been made about spider het clowns is only based on a few clutches. If you breed yours to a visual clown the worst case scenario is you end up with some spider 100% hets. Is yours male or female?

Actually the worst case scenario is you don't get any eggs, but you know what I mean.

I'm gonna resurrect this thread and ask for pics of any morph het clowns. I'd really like to see a lesser 100% het clown. I know it's a long shot since not many have been produced yet, but any pics would be appreciated.

The one I've seen has a distinct het clown look. Not sure on the posting rules so I've PM'd you the photo.

I found an old one from this forum:

I just discovered Ralph has some nice photos of lesser het clown hatchlings on his website. Dragonherp has a nice looking one too. They seem to be very variable in color and pattern, so it would be difficult to distiguish hets in a clutch of possibles. Nothing obvious like with the desert het clown. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to try and prove my girl out in a couple years. Here she is, she is 50% het clown and hypo. I'll be breeding her to a visual clown, so at worst I'll end up with some 100% hets.

Last season did het to het and got a couple cool looking poss. in the clutch

Males

Millcityballs, I remember that clutch ^ because that male is a smoker. Did you keep him? I have noticed that the lines that seem throw reduced clowns like yours often produce reduced banded or blackback hets as well.

He's with a friend down in CT. I would still have him here if not for having a pastel het clown breeding with his mother as I type. I did hold on to the het sire just in case he's the one who throughs the reduced pattern.

updated pic of poss het clown female. i have a couple like her from that clutch, but she's the nicest
