Just thought I'd chime back in regarding proving your animal out. If you are referring to proving the paradox as inheritable, I would say that more than likely it will be as with all the other morphs, uninheritable. Now if you are trying to prove he/she as a ghost, then here is a lil more info.

If these paradox animals truly are chimeras/genetic mosaics, then you need to remember that the only way that your snake can pass on the ghost trait is if the reproductive organs contain the ghost gene, and aren't just a normal reversion. Basically to simplify, if the reproductive organs have the ghost makeup(homozygous) then 100% of the offspring will receive the ghost allele. The other two possibilities are that A) reproductive organs contain only the "normal" genotype(genetics) OR B) they contain the het. ghost genotype(meaning the offspring have a 50% chance of inheriting the ghost allele).

Hope this helps,
Dan
