INTRODUCING: The Paradox Crystal Ball

Python Dreams Jun 05, 2006 09:28 PM

Well I have finally proven the Crystal Ball to be genetic along with popping out this cool little one... Here is a teaser, until they are all out of the egg, and then I will let everyone know the results of this years 7 egg clutch!
Let me know what you think,
Tom Baker

Tom, that is unbelievably stunning! Wow!!! I'm very happy for you that the crystal proved genetic.

Actually, I'm happy for me, too, because I will have some big mojave females ready when a male with crystal genetics is affordable!

Congratulations!

Hi Tom,
First off I would like to congratulate you big time. That animal is absolutely incredible. I am also glad to hear that you proved out the Crystal Ball. I don’t think many people had any doubt that you would. It is just too incredible looking to not have been a Morph. LOL

Now back to your Paradox Crystal Ball, WOW!!!! The fact that you produced it along with Crystal Balls in the same clutch seems to prove that the Mojave is some how hiding the Paradox gene. It just doesn’t seem likely that two different occurrences of Paradox could show up (first in The Snakekeepers Paradox Hypo Super Ghost and now in your Paradox Crystal Ball), if it wasn’t some how connected to the Mojave. That is very exciting in it self and may help to bring the lowly Mojave (if you look at the prices they are being offered in the classifieds) back up in price a bit. LOL

With that said, I am in no way down playing the importance of your “Special Female”. She is by all definitions a Very “Special” Snake. I have a few questions about her and I am not going to ask you to show a picture of her. What I would really like to know is have you produced any like her in your breeding so far? If not, have you seen any others like her or is she (as far as you can tell) a one-time occurrence? If you think she might be a solitary occurrence I am hoping you at least produce a Male Crystal Ball out of this clutch. If so hopefully you can breed him next season to some normal Females and try to produce another one of the Mother. Yea Yea Yea!!!

It is going to be very exciting to watch how your Crystal Ball project develops. I wish you the very best of luck with it.

While I'm not willing to give up my first born, let me know if you are ever in need of an extra little finger...maybe we can come to some sort of "arrangement".

This is my favorite "new snake" of the season. Congrats!

Without knowing too much about either project, I think there is some relation between the Mojaves that produced his Paradox Super Mojave Hypo, and the Mojave part of your new Paradox Crystal.

Maybe a mutation linked to SOME Mojaves that result in the Paradox mutations.

Just a thought.

Snakebstr Jun 06, 2006 06:58 PM

That has got to give the Mojave's the kick in the A** they need. Mojave's are way under priced for what you can do with them. GOOD Luck and LET US SEE THE Mother!!!! NOW. Thanks David
