balls with defects

I find balls pythons with defects cool, especially ones with different morps.

Ie pastel with a normal patch on him. Im just wondering if anyone speciallize in breeding. Them?

Also is there a website were i can buy them?

these are called paradoxes, not defects.


defects would be something like a spine deformation, or eyes that abnormally stick out, or head deformities, or missing eyes.


search breeders for paradox, if a snake has a paradox the breeders list it and they tend to be more expensive. so an albino with a dark area where normal colors come through would be called a paradox albino.

some genes/morphs produce paradoxes more often than others, but its fundamentally random, you cannot really intentionally breed for it, or only to increase the chances.

Yep, the normal patch is called paradox. Right now I don't believe it has been proven genetic (meaning you can't breed for it) in any ball python morph.

*not my pic, or my snake!!!*

So...you like paradoxes do you........?

Looks like an ivory paradox.
