Does any one have any pictures of paradox albino corns. I just hatched one last night and am curious to see what others look like. For those unsure what a paradox albino is, its a part albino, part normal wild type corn. I'll post a few pics once the little guys/gal sloughs.
Cheers,

Warren Booth

I don't have any pictures because I don't own them but I am very curious to see your hatchling. Show us the good stuff!!

Thought you were just going to show a normal amel with a new name. Never saw anyone post a pic of one of those here. Are you sure you're not just touching up those pictures with your computer and pulling our legs

lol, not a chance mate. I can hardly use my camera let alone any photoshop packages. I just about resized them, which to ok me ages.
I think I am blessed over here in Northern Ireland. In three years I have hatched out snow white albino leopards (i.e. pink and bright white), anerythristics Sonoran desert dwarf boa contrictors and now this paradox albino corn.
The cool thing is, I this snake was part of a multiple paternity clutch (i.e. two father contributed). The first male sired 10 offspring ( i think, need to count again, hatched so many corns this season that I am unsure), while the other sired three. The 10 from the first male were all normal, while the three from the other male were albino, which was one of his traits. Not sure of sex of the three albinos (i.e. two normals and paradox) but I'll know in a week.

Kind Regards,
Warren Booth

Great achievement!! Congrats.

You sure this isn't a hoax??? If not, that's one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. Anyone have adult pictures of these? I know corns change colors a bit as they age. I'm still skeptical though, I had some fun with photoshop before. Spelled my name in the pattern of a corn just for fun.

Seriously, this is no hoax. I am totally computer illiterate, so the likelihood of me altering a photo is slim to zero. I will post a post-slough pic in a week or so, when it has shed and fed and maybe you can compare markings for proof.
I can't wait to see how this guy turns out as indeed corns do change colour quite a bit.
I can swear however, on the life of my snakes (and i have alot) this is no hoax.

add the www. to that and they have a picture of an adult at teh very bottom. Definetly interesting looking, almost like a different colored frosted Creamsicle with much less pattern.

That is a different snake. That is also known as a ruby freckled corn. It is a snow that has some speckling.
my animal is totally different. It is an albino that has normal areas of pigmentated pattern. Its gonna be cool to see how it developes, if I keep it that is. there has been a hell of a lot of interest in it, the two albino siblings and the parents.
Warren

Sorry to cause any confusion i just searched for a picture through google and found that. With the ammount some of the corn snake morphs change from hatchling to adult i figured it could be. I am rather new to the world of corns.

Wayne

That is the second of these I've heard of this year! TOO cool! If they are opposite genders, be cool to breed them and see if it's genetic (I don't think it is). Too bad you're on the other side of the pond (or am I thinking of someone else?)

Do you have contact details for the person with this other paradox?

I am in Belfast, Northern Ireland, so unless this other person is in the UK or Ireland then sadly that could make breeding them together difficult.

As I mentioned previously, this animal resulted from a multiple paternity litter, with the second male to mate the albino female containing a homozygous copy of the albino gene. Including the paradox there was three albinos in total, so the prospects of a pair are good, I think. If I decide to keep it I will also keep the albino siblings and a few of the half siblings. I know exactly which breeding produced it so I am hopeful to prove it out next season.
The Paradox trait has been proven in sand boas to be heritable. Proevn by the Barkers a few years ago.

Warren

I believe it was Joe Pierce (I think that is his name) Of Snake's Alive.... I'm not sure if there is a link on the home page of kingsnake or not. You can email me and I can give you more information.... just click my name at the top of this post.

Hey Warren, congrats on the great Paradox!

Frank Pinello hatched out one a year or two ago, as far as I know these two are the only two Paradox corns. I'll email you a link to his photos. (the forum where they are posted is banned from being linked here)
