from the start.
First, from the pictures I have seen, it is hard to tell what is going on with the snakes.
The do not take on the Paradox appearance of say a Paradox Albino. Some of yours have Salmon areas, not just black specks.
I think yours are more related to the Calicos from Snow breedings, or Argentine crosses.
Ralph Davis' freak Snow has one Anery eye and one Albino eye. It has not bred to prove that it is a true Snow. It may or may not be, were the mutations transfered completely? That is a question we have to ask.
View it like this, is it actually Albino, or Anery, or does it just have some characteristics of this mutation.
Part of the problem a lot of Calicos don't have definate lineages, a lot of them are littered with possibly hets. This can cause problems. Some people think their het proved out because they got offspring that are partially Albino. Until the animal produces a full Albino I would not consider it a proven het, unless there is something truely going on that affects every Albino offspring of this animal.
There have been linked or triggered mutations in other animals, that only show when connected to some other mutation.
I mentioned when Mike first released the Paradigm of a similar mutation in Corn Snakes. I want to bring that up again, but I will keep the breeder confidential. They have a T-positive that only manifests itself when bred to any other Amelanistic Corn Snake. Breeding one of the T-plus to a normal and breeding "hets" together doesn't reproduce it. Only by breeding the T-plus to an Amel can it be reproduced.

I have been curious about your litter... - ChrisGilbert, Tue Sep 26 10:31:14 2006
