    paradox? what makes it?
    I love the paradox patters, but how to make it? Me and my wife are planning on breeding in the next few years, and missing around with the genetics wizard and found nothing really?

    It's random so there is no real way to make a paradox besides luck.

    Chances would be a lot higher with a paradox female tho right?

    So..has a correlation between paradox genetics been done? I'm curious...does het to het, het to visual or visual to visual produce more paradoxes?

    Not really, it's random not genetic. I have heard of a few cases of an albino bloodline where a paradox pops up here and there but nothing consistent. However, Mike Wilbanks' Atomic gene seems to work like a paradox maker.

    Mate a normal-looking het albino to an albino. Then hope that a het albino embryo and an albino embryo are smushed together inside a single egg shell so that the two embryos form a single snake. The last part is the part that cannot be controlled.

    That's what I was thinking! That it had to come from a het...

    I'm not sure all paradox albinos come from het breedings. I think there may be more than one thing going on in all the things we call "paradox". I definitely think some of them are probably chimeras. But... some pics I've seen of paradox albinos just look like they got some black powder spilled on them. That's not really what you'd expect if that area had normal (or het albino) genetics operating in those cells. So... maybe something else can cause it as well. Perhaps something like what causes birthmarks on humans? I don't really have a clue. But the answer to the OPs question is that other than the atomic gene, and the occasional rumor of a line of snakes that produces more paradoxes than would otherwise be expected, paradox seems to be totally random and you can't do anything to make it more likely to happen. Other than breed lots of snakes, so you get more chances.
