This is late, but better late than never.

The most likely explanation for a paradox albino is having two fertilized eggs smushed together so that the one resulting snake contains cell lines from both of the original fertilized eggs. One fertilized egg was genetically albino, and the other was either het albino or normal. That makes paradox albino among the worst traits to use when trying to learn genetics.

How a paradox albino breeds depends on the cell line(s) that produce the sperm or eggs. The more the albino trait shows in the skin, the more likely that the snake will breed as an albino.
