Listed as Pastel 66% het clown, could be 100%?

Notice the pastel het clown I produced doesn't have that head pattern.
That isn't a het clown trait at all imo, that's something pastels do though

I did notice actually. But I still have seen those capped heads more often in the het clowns than in normal pastels. My normal pastel has the same head as the one you produced.

You can buy pastel 100% het clowns for about $300, why chance breeding a pos het male at all

I agree het clowns have head spots, all of mine have, but the pastel wipes it out.
At that point it becomes other markers you loook for, that I do not see on that snake at all.
Just personal opinion from having produced a bunch of het clown stuff.

#1 because its one of the nicest pastel males I think I have personally seen to date.....#2 to me, that's part of the fun of breeding (unlike most, I am not in it for the money, I'm in it for the fun so dinking and trying to prove out genes is fun to me)...#3 like I said that snakes has enough of a pronounced head stamp and enough remarkable blushing that I would take the gamble that he would prove out.....thus making him worth well more than $300 or the $160 I would have paid

But again, just me. I love my dinkers and if he were just a het is say hell no, but if I were the OP I would get him, find a pastel het or poss het clown female and at the WORST end up with really nice pastels and supers.....and at best, he proves!

NIce snake but it is 66% until bred and proven out.
"Markers" aren't that reliable.

PS and currently het clowns are $150-200. Pastel 100% het clown males are $300-350 so if the OP wants to spend $300 they can get a pastel 100% het clown. Haven't seen any as nice as that male though....

Het clown markers are very reliable, if you've made as many as I have you'd change your mind pretty quickly.

While I haven't produced any, I have to agree. The clown gene tends to visually express itself in the hets.

Here is another picture of him. Colors are still a little off I believe.




I think it would be fun to prove something out. I have my adult pastel female and I will pick up a 100% het clown female in the future.
I would pay equal or more for a pastel male shipped, and the breeder is local, so take shipping off the total.

I like the little guy even if he is just a male pastel and I will be picking him up this weekend.

Cool that you've bought him. Do you have a lady lined up for him yet?

[aldebono]

No planned marriages just yet. I will pick up a hatchling female 100% het clown later in the year and raise her up.

Awesome!!! Congrats!! You will have to do a future update to this thread when you breed him and let us all know howh does! There have been a few people on here who, a couple years later, have done updates and I love hearing how clutches turned out! Best of luck and most importantly HAVE FUN!!
