Hi Tom,
First off I would like to congratulate you big time. That animal is absolutely incredible. I am also glad to hear that you proved out the Crystal Ball. I don’t think many people had any doubt that you would. It is just too incredible looking to not have been a Morph. LOL

Now back to your Paradox Crystal Ball, WOW!!!! The fact that you produced it along with Crystal Balls in the same clutch seems to prove that the Mojave is some how hiding the Paradox gene. It just doesn’t seem likely that two different occurrences of Paradox could show up (first in The Snakekeepers Paradox Hypo Super Ghost and now in your Paradox Crystal Ball), if it wasn’t some how connected to the Mojave. That is very exciting in it self and may help to bring the lowly Mojave (if you look at the prices they are being offered in the classifieds) back up in price a bit. LOL

With that said, I am in no way down playing the importance of your “Special Female”. She is by all definitions a Very “Special” Snake. I have a few questions about her and I am not going to ask you to show a picture of her. What I would really like to know is have you produced any like her in your breeding so far? If not, have you seen any others like her or is she (as far as you can tell) a one-time occurrence? If you think she might be a solitary occurrence I am hoping you at least produce a Male Crystal Ball out of this clutch. If so hopefully you can breed him next season to some normal Females and try to produce another one of the Mother. Yea Yea Yea!!!

It is going to be very exciting to watch how your Crystal Ball project develops. I wish you the very best of luck with it.
