I can only assume that you mean that the snakes were het clowns. If that is also the case, het clowns bred together will give you a 25% chance of producing a clown offspring per egg. I do not know of this J&J Reptiles you speak of, and I know nothing of their reputation, but I sincerely hope you didn't end up with the poopy end of the stick on this one.
Post a pic and I can tell you for sure if you bought a het red axanthic (which I do not feel you did for the price you paid) or if you do have a het red.
Enjoy him regardless and read all you can to keep him healthy and happy.

Well, your thing says you live in Ontario. If that's true, that's prolly why you don't know of J & J Reptiles; it's only in Calgary. But yes, I do mean they were het Clowns. And very cute ones at that! But anyways, we fed him for the first time today (Friday, March 20th), and he ate well. I think he's gonna be a good eater, but only time will tell. =]
