i never knew this was possible

Late last year I was going to buy a Reverse Paradox albino, but turned it down. Im wondering if the one shown in this thread would throw any normal looking hets? Or does it still do as albinos normally would?

That is EUGENE Bessettes and I saw this girl a month ago and is getting big, she wil be breeding this next season.

There is a form of Paradox that is not as severe looking but is definitely inheritable. It is a dominant trait and was first produced by us in 2004. It is the "Shatter" Ball and has since been crossed with Citrus Pastels and Calicos. The picture is of a 2006 female Citrus Shatter
The black pattern varies from snake to snake and covers areas that are usually patternless like the belly and chin of the animal. This year we crossed the adult female Shatter to a male Butter Ghost to produced hets for Paradox Lucys.

Really Nice and diferent Snake.......

Oh yea, the paradox. So far not proven to be inheritable, but a random occurance.

couldnt it possibly be some form of birth defect (from temp flux, etc.)

Actually it is a "birth defect" since it produces a condition that is different than the accepted wild type. That is why it's referred to as a "mutation". However, this happens to be an inheritable mutation that had been repeated in F1 and F2 breedings and has been produced by other people that obtained offspring from this line.

Do you know if yours is the only proven genetic one so far? I've seen others with similar pattern and colorings, but figured they were just flukes...

Great combo Amir!!!

An unproven female I have bred to a Bee has just had her pre-lay. I feel good about her being a Shatter. She is small at 1250, but I have had good luck with smaller girls/fertile eggs this year thus far. It's better to be lucky than good sometimes. Love that Citrus Shatter!!!
