We hatched out a small clutch from a Kingpin x Fire Clown pairing. Here is the clutch:
We are wondering if our Kingpin is hiding a clown and/or clown related recessive.
Thanks for any input or thoughts! Appreciate your time!

I’d definitely wait and see what others say… I don’t work with clown so I can’t tell all the little nuances with them.
I’m seeing:
A funky cool looking normal
A lesser fire pinstripe
A lesser pinstripe
And the last little one is the confusing one because it looks like a super pastel fire to me. And it looks like it hasn’t shed yet which would be where the black starts to blush out more…
I wouldn’t be too surprised if pastel was hiding on both sides.
It feels like I’m missing a gene too though cause the patterns are a bit funky on the normal and pins…
Here’s a pic of the third photo coming out of the egg:
The lack of eye stripe and head stamp make me wonder if this is an Emperor Pin Clown or something. I know that when Pinstripe and Clown mix, it is typical for the head patterning to get wiped out.
And here is a post shed of the “weirdo” #4 picture:
Well… The problem is most of the photos are before the first shed. You would be amazed how much colors change especially on light color snakes.
Editing because the caffeine I chugged finally hit and looked at the photos again. XD
The pin still does have light colored eye stripes though. I dunno. They just don’t look clown to me. XD
Again. I don’t work with it though so I could be totally wrong. It’s a neat looking clutch regardless
