Update: Paradox Mojave photos

This little one was produced by us a few weeks ago. I feel like the black background captured his colors better than the white and showed the paradox a lot better than my previous photos. I'm really excited about this little one!

Definitely staying here. My Mojave has been throwing some odd babies so I kept him and a female Jigsaw clutch mate.

I thought a paradox had normal or another pattern randomly showing? Not 100% on that, but it looks like a Mojave with a fader gene. VERY NICE!

Would you take my kidney? 15 camels? I offer you my mother! That is one amazing looking BP! Incredible!

Awesome looking snake! What were his parents?

Both are from NERD so who knows lol!

man that is nice

Was the pin ever bred to anything else? That snake just does not look anything like a mojo to me. The white on it is very cool. What do you plan to throw him back at next year?

Nope, she is a virgin. I've had her since she was about 700 grams. She did lock once with my Pewter Blackback (also from NERD) this season. The rest of the clutch was pretty straight forward

Eraser is a good name for him. Almost looks like he has one and a half Mojave genes and there's a Leucy in there just screaming to show itself. Either way, that is quite the looker!

Coolest snake I've seen in awhile. Hope it turns out to be genetic for you!

That really doesn't look like a paradox to me. It looks like there is underlying gene that is causing that, there is just to much of the body that is different.

I'm suspicious as well that there might be another gene, possibly fader since from NERD that is suppressed in the single gene forms. Until I prove it out genetic though, crazy paradox seems to be the most likely.

That's what I've heard but I would need someone far more advanced in genetics than me to explain how that's possible from two single gene parents and if a super form can try to express lacking half the equation. If anyone can chime in it would be much appreciated. I know we have some members very well versed in genetics

I found pictures of a mojave fader and what it looks like is a mojave with white erased marks. Your baby looks nothing like a mojave, both pattern and color are wrong. However, it does look A LOT like a butter fader. Just do a google image search and see for yourself. Can we see pictures of the parents? No way a butter/lesser snuck one in? I know mojave and butter/lesser are in the same family of genes but that python has no ear marks of a mojave, color, keyholes, etc. Have you emailed NERD on this one. If not I would. I am super interested to follow this guy as you breed him. What a great project!

have to agree with others here, probably one of the coolest looking paradox snakes that I have ever seen and love the name!

I was considering emailing NERD as well since both are from their lines. Here are photos of the pairing and both pairings:

Thank you! I am thinking the WTF Eraser after our namesake WTF MORPHS lol We are so happy we got a WTF (him) in our first year!

I will definitely be keeping everyone up to date with this project. Until I prove him out (and the parents) I will be calling him a WTF Paradox Mojave since that is the most likely scenario although I completely agree that he is a one of a kind Paradox. He is truly impressive in person, with the description that "someone took an eraser" to him is very accurate in describing his pattern and washout effect. I held him back and his sister Jigsaw. I'll be repeating the pairing as well as putting him back to mom just to see if I have something weird going on in the genetics of these guys!

Thanks again for the support and kind words everyone, much appreciated!

That is one great ball of fire you got there congrats!

Gorgeous
