    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have no idea....

Good question, what the hell is going on, haha. Looks like you got a clown outa it. Not sure how that happened. Were the parents het for clown?
 
The female was a poss het, but the male I produced and shouldn't have had any clown if it did which it seems to have I got pretty damn lucky
 
Do you know the exact genetics of the parents of the leopard? Like you said you may have gotten extremely lucky. Unless the leopard gene has some weird effect with the clown gene. Im sure someone out there has bred a leopard to a clown. Has anyone had similar results. Wouldnt make sense cause one is dominate & one is recessive.
 
Wow Bob. Wow.

Not what I was expecting to see!

That's super cool though! It probably tearing you up wondering WTH is going on though, I'd be way to curious. It would drive me bonkers!

Maybe you'll find some answers in the time to come.

Good luck buddy. :)
 
Sometimes HE smiles on us and other times HE outright laughs! And we think we have it all figured out! OH well.

Congratulations Bob, I would hate to try and figure the odds on this one!

So being it is a clown a Clown what?
 
Had the female been bred last season?
Had she been bred at any time prior to your getting her?
If so, perhaps the answer could lie with either sperm retention or, with not knowing how long you have had her, a lock (prior to your getting her) that you do not know about.
Just a thought.
 
I got the female as a baby and raised her, this was her first season breeding and only with one male. The dream bee YB must be a het, now I have to figure out what in my collection made him a het

That does make things pretty interesting.
Wish you luck in figuring out how this beautiful youngster came to be.:)
 
nice, bob. I'm gonna have to get an OD off of you. I've got a wicked looking clutch hatching out right now. I'll post it up when they're all out.
