This girl was born 2007 and I haven't bred her yet. She is so crazy, in person she is greenish and a bit of a clown pattern to her. She has a lot of red on the top of her body and crazy belly spots. She is a beautiful snake, and I took a picture of her next to a normal and some others you guys might want to see.

Any idea on what she would sell for or what you would pay for her? Remember she's a crazy normal oddball 66% clown. Maybe her crazy pattern is genetic because the sire had a crazy pattern/greenish color just like hers and he was also a normal.

Thanks

I have no idea what the going rate for a 66% het clown girl of this size is, but I'll give you $10 right now. Do you accept paypal? J/K..... I would guess around $300 since she's only 66% het clown.

I don't know what the going rate is on adult females that are 100% het clown, but I think you're not going to get any takers at $300 for a possible het clown normal. Normal adult females sell for around $100-200, depending upon weight. Most of the time people are selling 1500 gram females for $150.

The pictures are really dark so it's hard to see what's different about her. I see what is in the acceptable range of normal patterning and color from those pictures.

I think offering her for sale between $150-200 is reasonable. If she was 100% het clown it would be a different story, but I know I personally wouldn't pay more money for a normal female unless I knew for sure she was a het.

Personally, I don't think that she's worth more than a good normal female. That's not meant as an insult, but just how I look at poss hets (even good looking ones). If you have a male clown, she'd be worth more if you prove her out. ;)

If she has distinct patterning that resembles her sire and her sire is het clown (66% het would mean both parents were Hets) I would breed her sire back to her. Worse case you get a bunch of normals. Nice case you get some clowns. Awesome case you find out that those crazy looking traits are genetic and even a co-dom with a super form not yet seen! Otherwise most breeders are not going to mess with possible genetics on something unless it is something proven genetic, but new to the morph world.
