RDR Clutch 48!!!! HEY RANDY........

What is your take on this one!

Caramel x Clown..........and 1 clown

Now is the Male Het Caramel, the odds of that are pretty slim to say the least and if so, why not more clowns in that clutch...

So Randy, what do you think?

Caramel male X Clown female?

It seems most likely that the caramel male was het clown by chance or the clown female retained sperm from a clown line male (too bad no paternity test).

Another possibility is pathogenesis and the clown doesn't have a father. I believe two types have been documented so the baby clown could be either male or female but have gotten all of its genetic material from momma clown.

Also, I suppose the baby could just be a very expressive het clown that looks like a homozygous clown.
