I recently hatched my first clutch of ivory balls and one came out paradox. I just though I'd share a photo.

Thanks!

Super nice!

Any chance that Ivory is a PastelIvory??

The boldness of the head pattern is comparable to most Pastel Ivories.

Congrats. Talk about a thrill....

It was produced from yellowbelly x yellowbelly breeding and there is definitely no pastel in either of the parents. I was suprised by all the head pattern, too. I like that as well as the yellow striping and bluish coloring. There are enough solid white snakes out there, so these a nice change.

Thanks,

Garrick

Hey Garrick,
That is really cool looking. Actually it looks better than most of the new Pied crosses that are popping up. LOL

I WANT IT !!!!!!!! Very nice.

Congrats! That is awesome! I'm looking forward to the chance of just producing my 1st ivory this coming year.

Very, very nice!

very cool--starting to think there may be more the paradox ivory than meets the eye. What sex is yours?

I really have no idea how the paradox works. I'll try breeding the same pair next year to see what happens. This one is a male and definitely a hold back. Hopefully, I'll be able to produce more in the future, with varying amounts of pigment.

Thanks,

Garrick

Just beautiful! The Ivory gene sure is an unpredictable but fun gene!

Absolutely beautiful!

That's fantastic! What line(s) were the parents?

The original male yellowbelly is from the Snakekeeper's line. I received him in a trade from a friend of mine several years ago. I raised some of his daughters up and bred them back to him.

Thanks,

Garrick

Awsome! Congratulations Garrick!

Wow, I was expecting to see another ugly paradox with a little dirty "ink stain", but that animal is amazing looking, very pie-ish. Parapievory
