paradox albino question

panhead Aug 16, 2010 06:05 PM

Just curious for those that have produced or seen paradox albinos. If the snake was paradox on the face or over the eye, was/were the iris of the eye the red of an albino or the gold/brown of a normal? In other words were the eyes different colors?

the actually eyeball remains red or pink, including the pupil, however the actual eyecap scale can become pigmented, partially or fully.

I purchased a paradox albino male that has black scales on his head/face and again towards the tail. One eye is red and always looks red, but the other changes it's appearance from red to black depending on the angle it is viewed from. The eye is actually red, but some of the scales behind the eye are black so it "fills" the eye with black coloration depending on the angle of light striking it. I will post some pics in the next few days...
