    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 am thinking about a paste het clown. Does anyone know who has them? How about a champagne x clown? Or I can just breed him with a double codom female. I have a pastel butter granite, bumble bee, lesser bee, black pewter, pewter, pastel spotnose. Thanks!
 
You can't go wrong breeding Clown to anything. Literally anything.
Whatever girls you don't already have plans for, put the Clown to them.

You'll be happy with all the results you see in a few years. :)

I need more Clown stuff going on too.

Good luck!
 
bee x clown, lesser bee x clown would be wicked : ) can't really go wrong with anything with clown though I think the champagne clown would have the champagne over power the pattern.

well i do agree that breeding the champagne would not be so attractive due to the champ gene being so strong.anything with the spider gene is just reducing the pattern.pastel butter granite is a good way to go,black pewter,pewter is as well.but just my 2 cents
 
Spider does reduce the pattern, which I find to be a desirable trait. Throwing in some color enhancing genes like enchi, fire, etc., should only make things even better. We've already seen that lesser/butter and pinstripe also make stunning clown combos. I just hatched out a pair of new combos yesterday myself.
I do agree with Brian that a champagne probably wouldn't make a very good clown combo, but you never know unless you try it.

 
I've bred clown X cinny pewter, black pastel, bumblebee, yellowbelly, mojave. pinstripe and normals over the last 3 seasons, you can't go wrong with breeding clown to almost anything.
I have pondered clown X champagne but I've decided to wait and see if someone else ventures into that project.
 
Thanks for all the replies. I decided to pick up a lesser het female. I paid a little more than I could afford right now, but hopefully will pay off in a few years.

Deal fell through, but I'm weighing my options.

I don't think I can post a link due to bad blood between the site owners but on Kingsnake there is a recent post with a pic of a "lesser pastel candied clown". I'm not very up on naming but gather "candied" refers to having hypo. At any rate, an awesome snake to work toward and sounds like your pastel butter granite girl could get you a good start.

so dave you going to enlighten us with what they are boss?
 
the thing you have to think about is that you will keep the female morph het clowns. They will take on average two years to get close to breeding size. This means you will breed them in 2 to 3(yes I know some people get snakes that breed in a year and don't care about their snakes to get maturity on them). In that time you will more than likely get a different morph het clown to breed to them. Plan for greater possibilities more than one snake in mind. By the time you make that one snake, you bought or traded for it! Clowns keep a good value so just make hets that work well with many genes not just specific ones.
