I too went with a visual male clown and haven't made any clowns "yet".
But the male has produced well over 10k in babies in 3 seasons and I'll be shooting for a worlds first later this season "hopefully" with yb het clown X yb het clown.
A female clown is an awesome snake to have, but a male clown has made me way more money than a single female clown would have and made me some powerful male and female co-dom hets to sell and raise up for future breeders.
