Is paradox genetic?

I also find it interesting how most Paradox animals have the exact same pattern on both parts, it's like pattern gets determined after the theoretical combination but color determined before hand

As it relates to the paradoxing, if the animals are the same morph would you be able to tell the paradoxing if they were fraternal twins ( different eggs) as opposed identical twins (same egg)?

I've never heard of identical twin snakes

in this context, i think Albert means twins as being born in the same egg as opposed to being born in the same clutch.

As far as I know, you can't tell something is Paradox without it being a different morph.

that's probably right. i've heard paradoxing described as a window through the morph skin into another skin usually a normal BP's colors and pattern. and i've heard chimeras described as a WTF, how did that gene get in there?! for example, the Highway chimera with 2 big rings/bands of Albino along the body.

So I am curious how possible it would be to have testes one from one twin and one from the other? You could possibly be throwing a morph where there was no outward indication that the gene was even there.

Wish I could remember the scientist's name - sorry.

That would have been me.
