What was used to produce that snake? Also, were either of the parents, offspring of any paradox, or have any ties to paradox Albino animals? Beautiful animal by the way. I hope you can get more like her someday.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks!

She is the result of breeding an albino male to a poss het female. Niether of the parents looked odd at all. Out of 5 eggs 2.1 looked different. The year prior the same female gave me 5 eggs from a pastel male and 0.2 of the pastels were abberant so time will tell.

Was she born this way and if so, did her markings grow as she did?

She did hatch this way but she isn't changing. It just stands out alot more as she grows because the white/yellow scales get bigger.

Has anyone considered this is a paradox. Has anyone noticed ALL paradoxes are from a normal to het breeding. That way the egg can be "twinned" with a het and an albino and the twins then fused (per previous discussion). If two albinos or two hets were fused we'd never know.

In this case the possible het mother is proved out and the dominant fused twin was the het.

What will be interesting is, are the OVARIES of a female paradox or the TESTES of a male paradox be albino or het?

The case I saw of fused embryos in humans was one of a female whose ovaries were unrelated to her blood. They matched her fathers genetics. Her blood matched that of her mother. Her childrens genetics matched the fateher and the GRANDFATHER! This poor woman's ovaries were more closely related to her father than her own blood!

If you want a paradox breed your albino males to tons of het females. That is IF the fusing theory is true. Seems likely to me though. Simlar stuff with different expanations are found in pigeons. I feel the pigeon explanations did not make sense.
