He has just shed. This little guy is from a 11 egg clutch. Father was a 100% het clown, and mom was a wild caught animal that I purchased for $50 from a rescue shelter. (God did I get lucky)

Last year from the same parents we produced the BOZO ball. It just looked different from the rest. Not knowing what to call it?
We were doing the Tinley Park show and my good friend Rusty from Rusty`s balls said "call it the bozo ball! its 50% pos het clown"
So keeping with the clown idea we called it that. When I saw the head coming out on the CIRCUS this year, I just knew we had the whole Circus.

I am not really sure what he is. Please let me know what you think? He will be on display at Daytona this month Booths 546-547. Please stop by and see him. Let us know what you think.

thanks again, to everyone that posted and called last time

lucky you. You can see the clown influences in it.

The clown has always been on the top of my favoites list - but the circus - well that is just too awesome - and it's getting better and better looking - hopefully you'll be able to get some more out of future pairings - any chance at getting a photo of the mom?

Congrats again!

Can you post pics of the parents?? Do either look like a bozo??

He looks very cool Jim! Take him back to his mother and see if it's genetic or not, if it is she'll produce more just like him , if it's not you'll find out that as well, until then it's a serious "dinking" around project!!! I produced that insane Classic Jungle I call a Berkley back in 1995 , he is extremely odd looking as well but I haven't ever got another exactly like him since then, I have several exceptional looking ones but none that have all his traits (mark on top of head, black marks on his mouth, clear belly, canary yellow and black as a baby, green eyes, irregular black pattern , etc).. Either way I hope you have better luck with this one, if you do hit on it will be cool to cross into other stuff! Anthony McCain-McCain's Reptiles.
