This is my first copulation of the season and for me, a very early one. I only began to cool a couple of weaks ago but these guys have been at it non stop since. I hope it takes. Thanks for looking. Mike Panichi

Wow serious full on copulation with no doubt full contact has been made, great picture.

I've yet to actually see/witness this visual confirmation.

In other words I've never been able to see the pink part.

The view is always obstructed, believe me I spend alot of time observing !

Good luck Mike , I still hope that "Paradox" is a completely
different genetic trait actually unrelated to Albino.

Of course all Paradox Boas will also be at the very least
het Albino because they come out of Albino breedings.

I'm hoping someone will actually breed Paradox to Paradox , this
in my opinion is the only way to prove or disprove
if its an anomaly or a genetic trait !

Good luck with your entire season Mike !

Thanks Lars. I will say this though, I have seen on a few occasions now, what I thought was a copulation(it looked almost identical to my photos above)but when I lifted the females tail for the photo, the male retracted his hemipenes. I have observed it enough times where I now believe that some of these males(or maybe all of them) send out a hemipene as a sort of feeler probe and when they feel like they are close or in the right area, they shoot it with force into the female. If it works it works and if it doesnt, they try all over again. Anyway, thanks again. Mike Panichi

Good luck Mike

that's a great looking paradox you have there, has it always had that much black or has it increased with age ?

Hey Kev, actually he was charcoal gray and white when he was born. Now that you mentioned it, he has gotten much darker on his sides. Thanks. Mike Panichi
