It's been a crazy week,

Enjoy,:)

Very nice!!!!

Nothin like a Paradox Ivory to top off your week!

Gotta love you some Paradox Ivory!

Cool clutch... and the paradox Ivory is insane..

Sweet!!! Can't wait to see it out of the egg!

Wow, gotta see pic's when its out of its egg!! But still thats a great looking snake!

Very nice looking clutch. Congratulations.

Wow! Very cool, indeed!

That's pretty wicked! Is there any possibility that some blip in the incubation process is causing the coloring to be wonky?

Paradox ivory?!?!

Sweet!!!

I had always wondered what exactly causes a paradox. Is it just another mutated gene just like the original gene in the first place?

But man, I'm not complaining or anything, and you shouldn't either! :D

It hasn't been proved out yet, but they are definitely working on it. It would be neat to see that on a pied, because the patterns on a regular pied are really different from a normal, and a paradox pied would have white, pied patterns, and normal patterns, that would be soo cool!

:bow::bow::bow: Man...

I'm loving that one!

Do a forum search on the word "chimeraism". There are a couple posts that discuss this....

Here she is, what do you guys think, Paradox Ivory or Paradox Yellow Belly? She does have that yellow dorsal stripe. :)

That is just too cool!

I can't wait to receive a clutch from my pair of YB. :gj:

Wow I'd say paradox Ivory, to even have that white and the dorasl I would assume ithas 2 sets of the YB gene, but I bet somewhere along development it just decided "you know what...I wanna be a Pied!...and so thats what you get on hatch day":O

That's amazing! To me it looks like a yellowbelly with ivory paradoxing? Is that even a word? Congrats on a crazy snake! :bow:

I would call it a keeper. For sure hold that girl back and breed her to a normal male. If all yb come out it's an ivory if you get yb and normal it's a yb. This is one I would of wished was male just to breed to multiple females.

Unreal, congrats. What day were they one when you cut them? Awesome clutch.

lol dude awesome!
soooo lucky!

great pic.

amazing:gj:

My personal theory is that paradox animals are chimeras. It's the only thing that really makes sense to me.

A chimera is actually twins--they have fused and become a single embryo, and developed into a single snake that actually has patches of 2 different sets of DNA in it. So, is it a paradox yellowbelly or ivory? Sort of a moot question, as it's a yellowbelly AND an ivory. :)

Very Very Cool:gj:

That is super cool!
The only way to know for sure would be to see what the outcome of a breeding would be.

Wow that is a very cool hatchling, I would have to see hold that one back, and use the excuse that you need to prove out where it is Ivory or YB! lol. I would say Paradox Ivory for sure. :gj:
