Just putting my 2 cents in.. and I acknowledge that every case is different and that my Paradoxes in this case are not as "extreme" as others I have nor ones I have seen pictured on this forum.I saw Mike Panachi post his awesome and extreme Paradox males on KS years ago and know at least one proved out to be a DH Sunglow...but, with all of that said:

In 2010 , I bred a male Paradox :





and a virgin female Paradox:





and ended up with an entire litter of Albinos.

As luck would have it tho., this female refused to stay on the "warmer" side of her enclosure the entire gustation period and ended up having a premature litter but ALL babies were albinos and many were pure white. Again, different snakes are going to have different genetics and other contributing factors but my one pair DID in need throw ALL albinos so the parents MUST have both been albinos as well.

So , yep, thats one experience with paradoxes. To be honest, I have other virgin paradoxes ready to breed but worry about "what if" they only prove to be hets sometimes after hearing others' stories or opinions but I guess you just have to try out what you have and hope big but be prepared to settle for being happy that the babies are just healthy!! Would be cool to hear if others have tried a paradox x paradox breeding as well yet ?!?!

Amazing Boa either way Dave!!!
