Paradox Albino's

[orientalis]

Questions....

1.Does anyone else who frequents this site own Albino Darwin Carpet's with various BLACK Markings on their animals????

2.We have coined the following names for our animals which exhibit these traits and want to know what the public feel is most appropriate.

Peppered Black Albino's?
or
Black Speckled Albino's?

3.Can anyone offer a more appropriate label?

I like the name paradox albinos, but it's a bit vague. I, personally, would avoid having the word "black" and "albino" in the same coined term - again, confusing. So, if I were the one doing the marketing, I would say "Peppered Albino", and show a pic to demonstrate what you mean.

Can I ask, what are the genetics behind this line of animal? And, can we have a pic?

PIC!!! then you will get a suggestion

hypermelanistic albino's

 

[driftoz]

yes deff a pic please, but if it has black markings then its not an albino is it ? if im correct.

 

[mungus]

How about ......." Checkered Albino's "

 

[Kurto]

Isn't 'Paradox Albino' already the appropriate name?

 

[BrownHash]

Pseudo Albino?

Picks definitely though, sounds like an interesting animal

 

[Jason]

How about Dalmations?

I like that!
otherwise i like paradox albino.... its funny, i was only looking through the albino special reptiles australia issue, specifically for pics of the paradox. I have been meaning to post to see what is happening with them.
judging by this post, i assume things are looking positive?

would love to see some more pics?

peppered is usually referred to as calico. its up to you really.

Black Albino. Give it a weird Zen feel!

Why do they have to be called anything other than paradox? Im sure a good genetics book will give some insight into the correct scientific terminology of most anomalies.

I may be wrong, but aren't the odds of getting a Paradox something like 1 in 1 000 000 and isnt the trait un-inheritable. Southern x has one and I am unaware of any others.

Do you have one?

That is also my understanding.

This post suggests you have a Paradox and possibly more than 1 (very rare), if you do have numerous Paradox Albinos that surely is something special......

Can you confirm???????

 

[AM Pythons]

up to orientalis to confirm... if i had the money i would have snapped one up...

We have 4 albino's with black scales on them....They were all produced at SXR from the same dam, but are from seperate seasons.....2004 and 2005.........(SXR use multiple males generally)
We know 100% for certain that this is a inheritable trait......... as there are other reptile keeper's who have purchased offspring, produced from our animals, who also have albino's with black scales......(from albino x albino pairings and also 100% het x albino pairings)

There are also other's out there who keep albino's, who also have SXR produced animals, whose animals also have black scales on them....Same dam again......
So, obviously this is a inheritable trait......

When i think of... 'Paradox Albino', i think of the beautiful and unusual specimen that the wider herp community all know was produced from SXR....and still owned by SXR....
this is why i would like to find a suitable name for our animals.......

I thought the odds for a paradox occurring were 1 chance in 20-30 thousand......
Who actually knows?

We have gravid girls and are very eager to see what can be produced this season.....

Egg-citing times.

Please, keep the names coming......
