This female is not ready to breed. Her natural markings are still very bright and colorful, and her “fleshy” tones only really extend on her hands and somewhat on her face. An inexperienced clown breeder might consider this clown ‘ready’ because she’s getting rather mono- chromatic with her markings on her legs and arms, but this should never be mistaken for the fleshy tone that signals a female is ready. [photo of a woman clown in a bright jacket, rainbow top and striped and spotty skirt] This female is ready. The flesh tone has extended from her hands up to her elbows, and I'd bet you money the tone extends beneath the knee as well. Her facial markings are much brighter, and her variety and intensity of color tell me this clown and well and truly ready to mate. How exciting!
