What morph is this!? Paradox?

So here I am just starting to get familiar with different morphs and suddenly I discovered these beauties:

I think I'm in love! But I'm having a hard time pin pointing exactly what they are. Anyone familiar with them?

Those are paradoxes. They are called that because they can't be regularly explained or reproduced. The first one is a super mojave paradox if i recall and the second is another BEL complex paradox. Another example of a paradox would be an albino that has black spots.

Thanks for filling me in! So from what I understand they aren't morphs I can really request or search to buy a specific combo but are unique babies that are there when they are there? Luck of the draw deal?

Yeah, they're impossible to predict reliably and no one can really explain how they happen. Such as this

So what's the difference between an Albino and a Silver Streak Albino ??

I have an unrelated pair of HC Albinos that look like the Silver Streak Albino he just had there ..!!!? ??

Silver streak albino is a super pstel black pastel. Albinos tend to look similar most of the time but when you look closely and know what you are looking for you can usually tell them apart. The video didn't have a good view of the silver streak albino so you probably couldn't see the pattern. Genetically the silver streak albino is different from a high contrast albino. That being said high-contrast albinos are just regular albinos that are selectively bred to stay high contrast.

I'm surprised that he didn't go into the Silver Streak genetics in that video. If you breed a Silver Streak x Silver Streak you don't get all Silver Streaks, only 50% come out Silver Streak. 25% are Super Pastel and 25% are Super Pastel Super Black Pastel. It's interesting he was going to breed with a Silver Streak double het for pied / albino. His odds of hitting it are only one in eight, may take a couple years with that pairing.

Silver Streak Albino Pied X Silver Streak het Albino het Pied =

Percent	Fraction	Genes
6.25 %	1/16	Super Pastel Double Het Albino Piebald
6.25 %	1/16	Killer Pied (Pied Super Pastel) Het Albino
6.25 %	1/16	Albino Super Pastel Het Piebald
6.25 %	1/16	Albino (Amelanistic, Tyrosinase (T-) Albino) Piebald (pied) Super Pastel
12.5 %	1/8	Silver Streak Double Het Albino Piebald
12.5 %	1/8	Silver Streak Pied (Black Pastel Pied Super Pastel) Het Albino
12.5 %	1/8	Albino Silver Streak Het Piebald
12.5 %	1/8	Silver Streak Albino Piebald (Albino Black Pastel Piebald Super Pastel, Albino Black Pastel Pied Super Pastel)
6.25 %	1/16	Super Black Pastel Super Pastel Double Het Albino Piebald
6.25 %	1/16	Super Black Pastel Piebald (pied) Super Pastel Het Albino
6.25 %	1/16	Albino (Amelanistic, Tyrosinase (T-) Albino) Super Black Pastel Super Pastel Het Piebald
6.25 %	1/16	Albino (Amelanistic, Tyrosinase (T-) Albino) Super Black Pastel Piebald (pied) Super Pastel
