I want to thank everyone who responded to my post about the Paradox Crystal and those who have given me positive calls and emails! It is very exciting to see this project to start to develop.
For those who donot know, the Crystal Ball was produced unexpectedly by breeding a Mojave to "Special" Normal... I had 4 eggs last year which included 1 Crystal Ball, 1 "Special" Mojave, 1 Mojave, and 1 Normal... This year I bred the same parents and got 7 eggs two months ago today. The results being 3 Crystal Balls, 1 Paradox Crystal, 2 Mojaves, and 1 Normal... Very Good Odds!!! Watching them hatch was pretty unbelievable since I pretty much convinced myself that I would not get any Crystals... Since it was the same pairing, I hav no more knowledge of the genetics other than the fact that The Crystal Project is definitely proven genetic!
The original Crystal might be ready for breeding this coming season since she is weighing in at 1135 grams now. I still have not released any photos of the "Special Mother" and will not do so until I have a better understanding of the genetics... I will attach photos of each snake taken today along with some pipping photos taken over the last couple days.
Let me know what you think,
Tom Baker
