#scareclown

We’ve dubbed them spot and blot.

Today's warmup is me!

Hello Tumblr! My name is Clownly! I got my degree in veterinary courlogy from Howard University, and had been studying clowns for a few years. But recently I ran away to Montana to start my own clown ranch/rehab, specifically for scare clowns (but we don't discriminate). Scare clowns are some of the most misunderstood species of clown, and we're here to dispell some of those myths.

Although I care for a variety of clowns, the single one i can really call my pet is Grabby, full name Grabby Mc Fancypants, a Spotted Stiltwalker/Red Hamshire Box Devil, which makes it a circus/Scare mix. Afaik, the mix doesn’t particularly have a name yet.

Grabby is a Dark red morph, as it was bred in a clutch hoped to bring monochromes. As he was a fail, I took him in.

Here’s a pic of him in his enclosure! He is approximately 2.10 meters tall (think it means 7 feet, but i’m not sure). His dome tent is around 10 x 10 m, but he also roams in the house and has some outdoor enrichment. I take him to the clown park, since he’s a rather gentle scare who has demonstrated no tendency toward clown aggressivity. I tend to keep him away from dominant breeds like augustes or really small ones just in case though, can never be too sure.

Although stiltwalkers aren’t typically carnivorous, he ended up as such, the jack in the box traits winning here. I usually feed him thawed plush animals, as it’s the easiest, but I sprinkle some easter eggs, balloon animals, or even candy beard here and there. He also loves caramelized apple treats and fake candy blood. 

A last pic of this good boy from today!
