I apologize for seeming hostile or antagonisitc as I am clearly not trying to be either. What I was baffled at, is how quick some are to say that this is a very simple explanation. In order to believe that, I would have to "assume" a couple of things. First, I just had amazing luck with the odds on this clutch. The paradox is just a het and I just had really great luck with this clutch producing so many albinos. Secondly, I would have to once again"assume" that with all of the clutches from the het albinos that keep producing the paradoxs, that I have just had amazingly bad luck with those cluthces in that they have not produced a single albino. I then would have to further "assume" that for no other reason than the easily explained scientific explanation that you have given that every time my hets breed, I get one egg with two embryos that join together to form a paradox. Pardon me, if I find those odds a bit difficult to comprehend using your explanation. I do still believe that there could be something going on that we don't know about and only further breeding would tell us that. Obviously, my curiosity was peaked, which is why I work with this project. I actually do not prefer to work with ball pythons which is why this project makes up my entier collection of ball pythons. I do not rule out your theory, I just feel it is too early to except it based on one result. If I appeared hostile, it might be due to the fact that I was accused of not excepting "your theory" because I somehow wanted my snake to be some magical and profitable snake when that was a completely false accustation being as I have not sold any of the paradoxs and have sold all of the siblings, even those with highly impressive patterns for $35 each. Again, this thread was simply a "here is the result of this breeding" thread, not a " I have got to have all of my answers now" thread as I feel that your theory might be underestimating the fact that the hets continuously produce paradoxs and no albinos.
