NEED HELP

Sorry I'm new to being a reptile hobbyist. And as much as I try and understand ball python genetics I can only somewhat get the hang of it.

So my question is say you breed a clown to black pastel, are you 100% going to get black pastel clowns? Or are some combinations rare? What are some things I should know about genetics that you think would help a beginner.

Im sorry if I sound dumb I truly just want to understand.

Thank you!

If you breed Clown x Black Pastel, you will get:
1. Normals (wild type) 100% Het. for Clown
2. Black Pastels 100% Het. for Clown
Unfortunately you will not get what you appear to be hoping for, no black pastel clowns.

This means none of the babies will display features of the Clown pattern.

Let me ask more. So say I breed Butter Lesser to a Black Pastel?

And if it's not possible how come people have posted pictures of a Black Pastel Clown?

I don't understand why it's so hard for me to understand and everyone else understands so simply

Because the clown is a recessive gene, unless you have a het to breed to a clown or another clown to breed to a clown, you cannot make one.

Once you get your black pastel het clown offspring you could technically breed it back to the clown parent.

I messed up, you'd have to breed the offspring together. Don't know what I was thinking

No, black pastel het clown x clown would produce the desired result. You wouldn't need to breed the siblings. You would have to breed black pastel het clown x black pastel het clown only if you were trying for the super black pastel clown.
