Paradox Albino Darwin

[The Devil]

On another thread there had been a few requests for a pic of the paradox albino.

Here is a pic I took at SXR in 2007

Righto i'll be the first to say it.

We must have been there around the same time
It's a beautiful looking snake.

It's interesting. But beautiful? Just MO.

 

[waruikazi]

Interesting is a much more appropriate word. It looks like it has burns all over it.

amazing snake i love that animal

 

[Jumala]

it does look weird - maybe it fell into an ink well?lol Interesting animal though .....

 

[waruikazi]

I would love to know what people like about it? Do the randome black blotches somehow make it look better or is it just that they are 'new'?

its somethind different always exciting when something as rare as a paradox pops up

Well I like it , would be good to breed some with bigger black patches..

Unfortunately it isn't hereditary so it's just an oddity.

Bugger!

But that doesn't explain why you think it is 'amazing'. WHat is amazing about it? To me there is nothing, to me it just looks like an albino (which i appreciate in their own right) that has burnt looking marks on it. I'm not trying to bring this thread or anyone down, i'm just curious to know what people like about it. I want to know if folks who like it genuinely think it is a visually appealing animal or if it is just because it is new and apparently worth alot of money.

I mean a snake with a kinked spine or hatched without eyes is rare (relatively) and different but no one ever croons over them.

According to another member on this site who conveniently was not ready to publicly post pics but was ready to publicly announce that he had some paradox offspring displaying the same trait, this paradox is hereditary.

Interesting!
I'm with waruikazi on this one, it's a relatively ugly looking specimen. But it's interesting and unique.

I don't think it looks "amazing" but I would buy one over a plan albino.Just like the way it looks.
