Joliff has his own line of Axanthics, and I doubt he'd call one axanthic if it wasn't. I can see the axanthic traits in the picture provided. I don't see the "paradox" part, but it may be just a small spot.

I don't have very many different examples yet, but you can check out this thread:

for an explanation of what "paradox" means and see some examples.

One thing to realize, is that lighting can make a HUGE difference in how your snake looks. Especially with a subtle morph like the axanthic. The blue sheen you see is simple iridescence and all ball pythons (at least all those with dark pigment) have it to some degree or another. It's more prominent in some than others....but regardless, it only shows up under the right lighting condition. Stress and temperature changes and phases of the shed cycle can also affect how a ball python appears at any given moment. Not dramatically so, but colors can appear less vibrant or more vibrant depending on circumstances.
