I will say a couple more things and then bow out of this thread as you clearly are being antagonistic.



You claim that you are not curious as to why this happens, but this is obviously not true, as you have done repeat breedings and held back animals, even if its a "dinker" project, you wouldnt persue it unless you were at least curious.



Some of us then simply tried to explain what is almost certainly going on and get hostile. I am sorry if the likley expalanation is less than magical or somehow dissapoints you. These things are not as mysterious as poeple tend to make them.



You obviously want to understand whats going on, so your hostility is a little baffling here.



Laslty you this phenomenon occurs in every species and not just in albinos. Paradoxes tend to breed as what the dominant phenotype is, wich in your case is HET albino.



I have a paradox pastel I hatched last year and I have seen and examined probably 2 dozen of them, including examples in other species that incliuded a few colubrids and even a tree boa.



This is not even a particularily rare occurrence.
