can you breed paradox? say you have a pastel but has banana paradox on it and you breed it to a normal would u get genetics from both ?

Re: paradox breeding
You can breed them but you'll most likely to get just regular genetics. Paradox is a non-genetic anomaly in the gene code.

Re: paradox breeding
so you think the dominate gene will show.

Is there such a thing as paradox that shows Banana on a regular Pastel? All the paradox I've ever seen was more like a spot where part of the markings or color had a 'hole' in it, as it were, so that 'normal' showed through. I suppose if it were a banana pastel, and it had a paradox that made a 'hole' in the pastel so that part was just regular banana without pastel in that one section, or a 'hole' in the banana so that it just showed regular pastel in that spot there, that the offspring could be normal, pastel, banana, or banana pastel, plus factoring in the potential influence of whatever it had been bred to. But I don't think you could have a regular pastel with just a spot of 'banana' on it. Then again - I don't now much about it at all, so there's a good chance I'm wrong.

There's no such thing as banana paradox.

Re: paradox breeding
I didn't actually mean banana I was just making a point go look at skittles the ballpython on google

Wow...Skittles is amazing.

skittles is a once in a lifetime kind of animal to produce. I can only imagine how exciting it would be to work with the genetics in an animal of that calibar.
I recently saw this snake which seemed relevant to this post. Not sure if it is real but is definitely a looker.

Sure you can breed a paradox ball python. The results depend on the sex cells that the paradox produces. Usually all sperm or eggs are produced from only either the banana or the pastel cell line but not both. If all the sperm or eggs are produced from pastel cell lines, then the expectation is half the babies pastel and half normal. If all the sperm or eggs are produced from banana cell lines, then the expectation is half the babies banana and half normal. In the rare case of sperm or eggs being produced from both banana and pastel cell lines, then the expectation is some pastel, some bananas and some normals. Do not expect any banana pastel or paradox babies.
