There were a lot of theorys and what it might be(chimera, recesive trait, incomplete dominate, etc..), but has anyone proven it genetic or figured out what it was? I havn't heard anything recent about this "morph" to see if any one was working with this project or not.

In the VPI book, they say that most paradox albinos have been proven to be heterozygous for the trait. In this case, it is most likely an occurance of the albino gene being "turned on" in some cells rather than the dominant normal gene. It's the same type of scenario that can lead to human's having two different colored eyes.

I've seen a normal that had the same thing going on. It was a male that was funn grown at a show. They wanted 600$ for it and I asked if they tried to prove it out and they had. They said theirs wasn't genetic and it was just a one in a million thing by their guess. I loved the way he looked but I'm not going to drop that much on something unproven.

not genetic means also rare or unique. Normally very rare things cost a lot of money to have one in the collection. Anyway I would not buy it either.
