Gorgeous Clown. I don't think the issue (especially when explained as you have stated) would stop me. I have a Pewter that I got at a great price because he got an eye infection shortly out of the egg. He lost the eye but the breeder had cleared the infection before he was offered for purchase. They sent extra medicines and instructions on his care just in case the infection came back but it's been a non issue. He is my favorite snake and aside from the missing eye absolutely stunning. I have to say the breeder was fantastic to work with and will be purchasing from there again.
