Paradox albino, awesome looking snake, congrats
Where did u get this little fella from?

[Hamalicious]

Maybe it's just the photo but its head looks funny?

 

[hughesy]

Bought it off a breeder in Melbourne albino 93 & it's heads fine hamalicious just the pic, but can see where your coming from : ) the black pigment on it's head gives it a weird shape in the pic!

Looks like it has issues with it's eyes? Is it okay?

 

[Shotta]

thats awesome beautiful snake must've cost a fortune lol
its head blends so well against its body cooly cool

 

[Albino93]

To solve the whole head/eyes issue maybe u should take another photo, in a better position so we can see it better?
Just suggesting

 

[SteveNT]

Agreed, but why stop at one pic. put up a heap!

Stunning little paradox! I like that his nose is half and half in colour, it's going to be so exciting for you to watch he/she grow! I can't wait to see future photos either

Please forgive my ignorance, but exactly what is a "paradox" albino?

Please forgive my ignorance, but exactly what is a "paradox" albino?

To my understanding, and feel free to correct me anyone, within an albino having no pigmentation at all, that a paradox has pigmentation but still carries the albino gene.

 

[nch90]

Wow you must be stoked keep us updated with pics good work getting your hands on one

Please forgive my ignorance, but exactly what is a "paradox" albino?

Paradox pretty much means a contradiction. So a paradox albino is an albino with some melanin. Since albinism stops the production of melanin, theoretically a albino with melanin should not exist. But it does, hence they are called a paradox.
