once I saw a pic of this beauty. i'd like to see more pics.
what king of genes are involved in this morph? how can I obtain them?
thanks

Hall Of Fame Reptiles has a paradox snow, but they don't know if the trait can be reproduced yet. At least that's the last that I had heard.

Did it look like that as a baby (the red)? Or did that develop later?

Thanks.

No, it has never showed again. Her first year I bred her to a Stripe het Amel. I only ended up with two females from that breeding, 1 Amel. and 1 Normal.

Her second time breeding I went with a Ghost. I held back 2.2 and the rest went to a close friend. When I bred these F1's together I got Anerys, Ghosts and Snows.

I held onto them for a couple of sheds and nothing.
Not quite sure if it's a genetic thing, which is a shame because this could have opened up a whole new thing in the corns.
I'm actually contemplaiting on moving her out??

The Paradox that Jeff Risher owns was said to have hatched the way it appears as an adult.
Maybe he will have much better luck at proving his to be a inheritable trait ???

Thanks, Walter

When I got her she was a yearling and about 18 - 20in. I was told by the seller that she did NOT show this splotching at the time of hatch, but started to show up after the first shed and continued to increase with each shed.

I'd love to see her crossed with this guy!

That would be interesting Clint, however I've been having bad luck with her the last few years. The first two years she bred for me was fine. Her third year, she laid two perfect egss, then Dystocia moved in. I was able to get the remainimg eggs out and she faired out well.

She went right back to feeding with no problems. I posted that pic. right after it was taken today, so that's how she looks right now. As you can see she's healthy and feeds like a pig !!!Last year she bred one of her F1 (Ruby F. X Ghost ) sons THREE nights in a row and I got nothing ??

This year I bred her to him again FOURS times and again nothing??

Not sure if she will produce again or not ?? SHRUG ??

I know it's not the male because I bred him to his sisters and they both gave me all good eggs. Maybe going back to the mother is why, but I'm not sure.

If I decide to keep her another year maybe I'll try her with a totally unrelated male. Perhaps a Butter??

...this trait happens in snow corn casually and is not proven to be genetic!!! I hope this event will happen in one of my snow corn offspring!
thank you!

No, it hasen't just happened in the Snows. It has shown up in a Anerythristic Striped, a Ghost and I hatched out a Anerythristic Bloodred (type 'A') with a small patch of orange on his neck.

It seems to be conected with the Anerythristic 'A' trait somehow???

Walter

These paradox traits just get curiouser and curiouser, don't they? I've been trying to follow them in a couple species. The non-genetic ones are almost wierder than the genetic ones- an animal that produces a pigment mysteriously when it shouldn't be able to, then has offspring that can't produce the pigment.
