i need some clown education, does it only effect the head stamp? or does it change color, tones, pattern ect?
It changes the whole pattern. Look at a normal BP and then look at a clown and it is pretty obvious.

INTRODUCTION:
The first wild-caught Clown Ball Python had small dark tear markings beneath the eye that reminded Vida Preciosa International Inc, the original producer of the Clown, of tear drops often displayed by clowns, giving it the name.
VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Head: Compared to the clean dark head of a Normal Ball Python, the Clown is bright and busy, with markings showing above the lips, beneath the eyes and the crown of the head.

Body: The Clown Ball Python has a hugely reduced pattern with a thick dark brown dorsal stripe and only slight banding from the “alien heads” of a Normal. Patterns are crisp and clean, with less spots and smudges showing.

Belly: The belly of the Clown Ball Python is usually a clean with a yellow undertone running down the central scales and the outer edges showing faded spotting.

Tail: The tail of the Clown Ball Python is usually dominated by the thick dark dorsal stripe.

@thecrawdfather Yes sir she is. She doesn’t have a single drop coming down off her dorsal stripe and her colors are wonderful. She is the crown jewel of my collection. She was my first big investment and I’m so happy I got her. Thanks for noticing.

Thanks Shaun. Haven’t really been hiding them so much as just haven’t had a reason to show them off. I am really excited to get these girls grown up. I have some pretty nice male het clown combos to work with. I’ve got a GHI YB het, Red Stripe Fire het, Chocolate Enchi dbl het Clown/Ghost, Fire Leopard het Clown/50% het Pied. Should be pretty interesting down the road.

You got some very interesting options to say the least! My clown group is a bit lacking lol. All hets! I have a pastel spark het male and for females have lemon blast het, butter het, and a candino het. I bred two of the females this year but my male wasn’t up to siZe. So maybe some cool possible hets this year!

Patience Grasshopper. Every Clown in everyone’s group started from a het. Stay the course and good things will come. Looking forward to seeing some great combos from you in the future…
I assure you I’m in no hurry lol. Clown is more of a side project for me. I hatched the female hets myself besides the candino. Sold my original clown male and then my het male is a slow grower lol. But I’m right there should produce visual combos next year.
