Like the couple of replies above suggest, a “paradox” is an un-pigmented/pigmented animal. So an albino (unpigmented) with black melanin ( pigmented).Hope that makes sense

I always think of paradoxes as the ugly duckilings of the snake world. They look a bit strange as hatchies but amazing as adults. You must be happy with your new little one.

Reb if we all liked the same snakes it would be a boring forum and one boring hobby

Trying to let him settle in but had to clean the paper towel so took a quick pic, not very good quality as only off iPhone, its a bit blurry as he wouldn't stay still and phone couldnt focus but you get the picture

Oh any any one curious I'm pretty sure a paradox occurs when twins 1 het and 1albino start to develop in 1egg but the het is reabsorbed leaving the albino with some of the hets gene/pigment not sure where I heard this but seemed legit

Yeah im not sure Zack it sounds logical but There has been claims of paradox offspring from albino to albino breeding so not sure how it works there as there would be no hets
