Albino Paradox Ball Python

Hello ,
Does anyone know the genetics yet for a albino paradox ? I have heard that you breed a het albino to a pastel or a normal ? Is this true ? Can i have some information please or a good web site :)
Thanks :gj:

Paradox's generally don't have any specific genetics to them that make them that way. A paradox albino is probably carrying both albinism alleles (therefore is showing the albinism trait to some extent) but could also only be carrying one allele and be technically Heterozygous for Albino. Paradox animals are still very much a mystery to us.

Paradox's can occur with any morph by chance, there isn't any traceable genetic patterns with them as far as I know.

I have heard that it is a "visual" het albino.

But I don't have any literature to back that up.

Simple DNA test could prove it but heres the theory about paradox's

they are chimeras

what happens in a nut shell is twins inside the egg merg into one snake or one absorbs the other, or something along those lines, with how ever all that DNA stuff works. but yea basically your seeing 2 snakes in one, if you took a DNA sample from the albino part and a DNA sample from the normal part, they should be different and be siblings.

this is why it makes it fustrating to breed a paradox because you don't know if the reproductive organs are from one snake or the other.

but theres no combo of morphs or any "paradox" morph

So far it has been shown to be completely random. Still looks pretty cool:snake:
