ABOUT CLOWNS:
Physical Description: Clowns are
named after their aberrant head patterns. Some have a bright
orange pattern, some just have a brown head, like mine. They
are a very solid golden color with a dark brown to black
dorsal stripe running all the way to the tail. Unbroken
stripes are favored over the incomplete stripes. Also, there
are "alien heads" between the vertical stripes, and some
clowns don't even have vertical stripes, but all have dark
tongues.
Behavioral Description: Clowns, in my opinion, (and
this is very stereotypical) are pretty vicious and will
strike at pretty much anything. They will stay in a very
tight ball for hours sometimes, and others they will go
crazy keep trying to wiggle out of your hands. Because of
their mean and "dominant" like behaviors, they make GREAT
eaters and breeders. They make the perfect investment, but a
very poor pet, unless you enjoy watching your snakes swallow
your fingers...

ABOUT MY CLOWN:
My clown, yet to be names, fits the above description
perfectly. He strikes at me any chance he gets, but because
of this, he is really an awesome eater and will hopefully
breed rather quickly. I DO have a
female het for him, she is 600 grams now (1/14/07) and he is
350 grams. He might breed this year, but not that female.
They will make an awesome breeding pair of '08 though, and
plan on producing some clowns then, and keeping the females
to produce lemon clowns. Can't wait!
