Paradox spark combos!!

So a couple years ago, we lucked out and hatched a paradox puma female.
She has been the gem of my collection ever since.

Then last year, using a lesser spark male we had produced, we hatched out a paradox lesser spark female. The location of her paradoxing was very similar to the paradox puma.

Yesterday, a clutch from our male lesser spark X chocolate pinstripe female pipped. It was a great surprise today to see them, as I thought they would pip tomorrow.

I was elated, to say the least, to see in the egg another paradox lesser spark!

Then, checking the clutch, I saw that some were out of the eggs. Not only is there a world's first--a lesser spark pinstripe, or spark kingpin--but she's also a paradox!!!!

Her paradoxing is ALSO similar to the other two!

The lesser spark paradox is still in the egg.

I'm on cloud 9 with this clutch! I'm hoping this proves to be genetic, but it's not likely...

It's a boy! And he has a LOT of paradox!

He's a lesser spark! Only the 3rd male lesser spark we've hatched.

Very nice animals. I've been a big fan of the paradox puma girl for a since I first saw her. Really spectacular. Congrats

Wow that paradox puma is so awesome!! :D and all the babies are so beautiful I love them all. Thanks so much for sharing. That would be too cool if the paradox proved to be genetic! Congrats on your worlds first!

Nice! Three paradox animals in the same line is certainly exciting. Look forward to seeing what comes from this. Is it just my memory, or do most paradox animals seem to come from the Yellowbelly complex animals?

It's 4 paradox animals....

From what info I've gathered, paradox seems to follow the YB, albino, and mojave the most.

They shed, so here are some post-shed pics.

Forgive me if I seem ignorant, these are all beautiful snakes but what exactly is paradoxing and is it genetic?

I think paradox (so far) has been seen as more of a chimera-esque deal, with two eggs joining together to get one funky looking snake. It's been seen as kind of random and lucky, but in this situation…I mean, either OP is REALLY lucky or about to prove it's genetic (personally, I'm hoping for the latter, haha). :D

That's pretty awesome.

Hopefully I'm on my way to proving that it's somewhat genetic...at least that it can be more expected among certain lines, maybe.

I've heard that paradoxing is 2 eggs/twins joining, but I haven't really seen evidence of that.

I would think it would have to be genetic if you got that many in one shot. I haven't really agreed with the whole idea that is is actually a mixture of two snakes formed togethor genetically. That would be something more along the lines of siemese twins and would probably be at least slightly deformed.
