Occasionally you will have an animal which is het for albino hatch with paradox type blotches. This is generally caused by some form of mistake in the gene sequence and is rarely an inheritable trait. The animal basically is expressing a true co-dominant mutation, if it proves to be genetic of course. Much like we have seen in the CV exotics line of albino boas, snow and albino kenyan sand boas etc...

We've hatched a few over the years of both extremes (i.e. normal looking with some albino speckling and or blotches, and albino looking animals with dark blotches or speckling).

Thanks,
Jordan

Ps: Cool looking snake!
