Paradox genetics

[Ax01]

i still think it's random and not genetic. the morph traits (for example, the Lesser or Mojave genes in a BEL) may be passed on, but not the paradoxing itself.

post pix plz!

Ok so, everything is either genetic or environmental. My first one hatched is my picture by my name.

i think there are variables in the environment that could be at play. for example, temp spikes during incubation could have an impact. how did u incubate, what temps and for how long?

If it is random as you say, what are the chances that I produced two from the same mom back to back years from different dads? That’s like hitting the lottery twice in one week. Talking with my Vet, she says it’s probably an Incomplete Dominant trait. Possibly only noticeable when there is a reduction or deletion of pigmentation.
Also to be clear I believe that several of the phenotypes that people call Paradox are from unrelated genetics.

IIRC there is an incomplete dominant trait called Whitewash that creates a paradox like effect. this is different from your animals or mine or anyone else's which is unexplainable w/ current genetics. i think u should give your Butter girl time off and try for another paradox in a year or two. try pairing he to another BEL animal? maybe Mojave this time? it would be a true jackpot if she proves 3 in a row.


Edit:

I wouldn’t call these a paradox more just how the Cinnamon gene interacts with other genes.

yeah, i wouldn't call that paradoxing. Super Cinny's are known for their splotching and flecking. it becomes more obvious when u add Albino to make a Cue Ball (or Blizzard) when u have a white snake w/ just yellow/orange splotches and flecks. my friend Taylor has a Super Cinny w/ what i believe is true paradoxing. it's small but it's there towards the tail: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ression-thread
