I'm not sure it really matters what they are called :) But, I would tend towards Snowflakes as they don't have enough white to be Frostbites.

One of the growing problems with these clown variations is that some breeders are not keeping track of the parentage and in the future, if not already, it will be impossible to say for certain what a particular clown actually is. It then follows that if you breed from a certain clown with unknown parentage you will have no idea what the offspring will be - having a knowledge of genetics will be of limited use.

Are these a true mated pair i.e. have they laid fertile eggs, or are they just a bonded pair?

Think they are just a bonded pair they haven't laid any eggs yet but I'm really happy with them everyone that comes and visit always compliments them :)
