Overview

This genetic test assesses the MC1R c.149G>A variant associated with the Clown phenotype in ball pythons. Clown animals typically show larger, lighter lateral patches, reduced dorsal patterning and a distinctive head pattern. The result helps determine whether the tested animal is free, carrier or positive for the tested variant. Other colour and pattern factors can still influence the final appearance.
