    Paradox is simply the opposite of normal.

    So on an albino, paradox is black. On a Black Eyed Leucistic it is the Fire (Het form) leaking through. Etc, etc.

    I doubt that the white spot on the side is paradox, but if it looks healthy I would say dont worry too much.

    See the dark area's on this animal that's a paradox spot.

    Re: White Spot

    A few possibilities--an unknown genetic aberration. A manifestation of IMG (increasing melanin gene), or simply some underlying injury that resulted in the destruction of color in that area. It doesn't look serious at all.

    It doesn't look like a paradox phenomenon. Paradox APPEARS to be the result of chimerism, and the animal should show more patches if that were the case.

    The paradox "spots" on paradox animals are there when the snakes hatch and they are permenant.
