We recently had a very nice clutch of babies hatch so I took the opportunity to snap some photos! We have a fairly reduced patterned male Clown that we bred to a 100% Het. Female earlier this year. She gave us five eggs - four of which turned out to be Clowns!

We ended up with 2.2 awesome looking babies who seem to take after the dad in pattern and coloration. They all have really killer head patterns too. What more could you ask for?!

Anyways, I was just "clowning around" with the camera (and the snakes) and wanted to share the photos. I think a couple of them came out pretty nicely

Thanks for looking,
Celia

This one is cute with his little moustache!

And one of the babies with an older female we're raising up...

Those are some seriously nice clowns!!!! That really reduced pattern one is insane........I love it. I also have to admit I admire your photography......you always post amazing photos of your animals. It definately helps convey the beauty of them.

Thank you very much for the compliment on the animals and the photos! I really enjoy taking pictures of animals and am looking forward to Daytona next weekend - I know there'll be LOTS of good stuff to take pictures of then!

Thanks,
Celia

Celia/Sean, those are absolutely awesome clowns. I think they are even better than the pins you hatched that I was drooling over a couple of weeks ago! Congrats see you in Daytona.

I'm glad that pair is still pounding frozen/thawed for you! I find that these guys generally have a pretty good feeding response so you should be able to get them BIG in no time!

As for the boas, we are gearing up for this coming season and hope to have a good one! We've got several raise-up males that should hopefully be of size. We'll have some of them on display at Daytona. Are you going to be able to make it to the show?

Thanks,
Celia

Now thats what Im talkin about...Best clowns around hands down..Whom did the father come from?
Kevin Stoltz

Brian and Lori at BHB Enterprises a couple of years ago. We couldn't have asked for a better looker or breeder either! He did a great job for us last season and has been doing a fantastic job this year. I haven't taken any new photos of him lately so I'll try to remember to the next time I'm doing pictures. Here's an older photo of him...

Thanks,
Celia

These have got to be the nicest CLOWNS I have ever seen!
I really like reduced patterns on any Ball Python and I sure think it looks terrific on the Clowns! Very Nice!

Celia, I like the way you "clown around" with the camera. Great pics and gorgeous animals

Quig

I've always liked both extremes on Clowns, reduced patterns and crazy patterns. However, I must say, I LOVE that one in the top left corner of the first picture, I believe it is the same one in the second picture.

Congrats on the babies, and the good odds.

You guys have the best clowns!!!

I really love my new camera - that's for sure!

*psst...it's a Nikon D200 with a 60mm macro lens if she's reading this and needs to know what to get you!

Thanks,
