Please excuse my not so good photography skills. I have no photo editing software, so this is just point, shoot, load it on my laptop and put it in my photo gallery.

I just took this pic of that sweet little Clown you two like

Pieds are stunning!! There aren't as many Clowns around as there are Pieds, which makes them a bit more fun to work with. At least for me, though I wouldn't say no to a Pied either, especially one from K & N Reptiles ... they have some gorgeous Pieds

I think that the Clown is the most underrated of all of the Ball Python Morphs. Then To top it off Gail, yours is absolutely incredible. That one and the one that Mark Mandic just received from Brian at BHB have to be two of the best I have seen. Is that one a Male or a Female?

Gail when you said the Pieds from K&N were gorgeous, are you referring to Kevin and Nicole? I have never seen any Pieds listed on their site.

I agree you do not see them posted to much and the are beautiful.
but the pastel pied has a best contrast. any of the morphs are beautiful and I would not say no to any of them lol.

I agree .. it is underrated. There aren't many pictures of them out here on the forums for people to see their beauty; that may be part of the reason they are so underrated.

I produced that Clown, which is a female, in 2004. I hand fed her for over 7 months. Each week she was not interested in eating anything, rat pup, mouse fuzzy or gerbil fuzzy. So each week I would assist feed her a mouse. She would eat it as long as I kept holding her and I would tickle her tail with my baby finger. She was such a sweet little baby. Then all of a sudden one day she ate on her own ... I put in a rat pup and no she didn't want it, so I got her a small mouse, no she didn't want it, and as I usually did, I got her a crawling gerbil and bam, she hit it. I was so happy to see her finally kick in. And by the way, she had a great home, nice and warm, a hide everything all the other kids have, but she wanted extra attention

I produced a few other Clowns with her and they all ate fine from day one, but she probably knew she was special and wanted a bit more attention. She is to this day a gerbil eater, which is fine with me, I don't mind what they eat as long as they eat. I breed gerbils as well as rats and mice so it all works out fine no matter what an animal wants to eat.

I need to tell you that Vinny of Cutting Edge Herpetological, Inc. in New York gave me several gerbil pairs to start my gerbil colonies off several years ago. He didn't want any money for them, he just gave them to me. Vinny, if you are reading this, I'll never forget you giving me those gerbils

You see, there are some real nice people in this industry. Unfortunately it's like the nightly news ... only the bad stuff makes the news.

Yes, Albey, I meant Nicole and Kevin of K & N Reptiles down in New Orleans. They have produced some Pieds that I fell in love with. If I had the money I would get into their line of Pieds. They did have a male for sale the other day in the KS ads. They produced a female last year that looked like you took a Genetic Stripe and bred it to a Pied. She is gorgeous and looks like a Genetic Stripe Pied. I told Nicole and Kevin how much I loved that female and that someday I want in on their Pied line. They lost quite a bit during hurricane Katrina and I don't know if they list all the animals they have on their site yet. I think they were going to work on their site, and then Katrina hit and they have been rebuilding ever since.

Here's the link to Nicole and Kevin's ad:
market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=32&de=393977
I like to give credit where credit is due, and I think the world of Nicole and Kevin and know they deal in top quality animals.

Albey, the other day I was checking out your site, which I love by the way, and I couldn't believe those Mack Super Snow Geckos ... they are unbelievable!! I fell in love

But your site is one of the nicest sites on the net. I couldn't believe how helpful you are in showing people how to properly incubate gecko eggs. And your pictures are just outstanding. You have done a great job on your site and everyone should check it out. It's time consuming to do a lot of what you have done on your site. Taking all the pictures and then going into such detail explaining everything. It shows how much you care about the animals and making sure that people know how to properly care for their animals. Well done
Check it out ...

One last thing, I'm in no way putting down anyone else's Pieds. I think they are all beautiful.

Thanks for posting this picture. She's gorgeous. I've heard the term "clown" mentioned, but I couldn't have pictured one. I've learned something new today.

I can see where clowns aren't as striking in appearance as pieds, but she's a gorgeous animal. I probably wouldn't turn down any ball python that was healthy and good-natured, but I'd consider getting a clown someday. I hope she continues to be healthy and happy for you.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.
