what color is this?

Wow, that snake is amazing Josh! Do most paradoxes have that much white? Or is it because he is het albino?

Like I said it is not mine, but I did find it amazing. I had never seen, I guess you would call it a Reverse Paradox. I have seen several paradox of many different morphs but this was the 1st I have seen of a Het showing through what it is het for.
As for the amount of white. Paradox is completely Random so You can have a snake that is very little Paradox all the way up to a snake that is extremely paradox. But it is random. One day I will get lucky and hatch a paradox something and then I will buy a Lotto Ticket!!!

The snake that JAMills posted is het for albino, that means it carries 1 copy of the albino gene (if it had 2 it would be a visual albino). The crazy black/white splotching is due to the paradox mutation, which is random like he said, and cannot be predicted by looking at the parents.

Actually, I believe that pic is an albino (homozygous) that just happened to be paradox. It's not even known if paradox is a "gene" or else it would be inheritable. Likely, it's a random mutation or crossover, etc...

Here's a blue-eyed leucistic paradox I hatched out.

That snake is not Homozygous it is Het. The parents were a Het and a Normal and no albinos have been produced from the pairings of the parents so It is pretty certain that the normal parent is not secretly a het also.

Oh, sorry Josh I was referring to the initial one that "chinchillachic" posted, not the later one that you were referring to. My mistake.

Correction I just talked to Tom. Parents were Albino bred to normal 4 different breedings no albinos. So yes the animal is pretty much certain only a Het albino that is Paradox!

Actualy I heard from vpi that paradoxes are just hets and not actually homo for thegene. This does not apply to all of them though.
