Will the non-visual babies also be het Clowns and if so, what percentage?

I would assume "66% possible" from what I've read so far.

Would it be correct to offer them as "possible het Clowns"?

I've seen oodles of "possible het Clowns", "66% possible Het Clowns", "Possible Pastel Het Clown", etc being offered for sale.

[this is all so confusing!]....LOL
Genotype clown mutant gene and normal gene = het clown --> normal phenotype.
Genotype normal gene and normal gene = homozygous normal --> normal phenotype.

het clown x het clown -->
1/4 homozygous normal
2/4 normal looking het clown
1/4 clown

The homozygous normal and normal looking het clowns are lumped together as 66% probability het clown.

het clown x homozygous normal -->
1/2 homozygous normal
1/2 normal looking het clown

The homozygous normal and normal looking het clowns are lumped together as 50% probability het clown.

I would class both 66% and 50% probability het clowns as possible het clowns. To be sure what the breeder means, ask him what the parents are.
