MORE INFO ON THIS NEW MORPH:
A completely new morph !
Paradox Albinos are not related to Snows, Leubinos, Caramels or Charcoals but imagine what you could make by putting all their genes together ! As adults they are yellow/white or Lime, with a few to many black Pinto-like blotches all over them a few even have some normal traces of green markings like random drops of paint on a canvas each is unique and crazy to look at
As hatchlings, this new morphs eyes have the blue iris like a Caramel, but with a very large glowing red pupil more like a snow making clear that their mutation is a form of albinism
When hatchlings close their eyes, you can clearly see the glowing red pupil & iris, right through their eyelids almost as if their eyes were still open (as adults, their eyes darken up but always show albino red in sunlight). Hatchlings heads, limbs and skin is all very transparent & under a soft 40 watt light their soft parts actually glow (see the top photo). When they first hatch, their shells and skin are soft yellow and light pink in a few weeks fully defined patterns develop and some even have traces of blue/black or green pigment randomly appear on their carapaces & plastrons (Paradox) suggesting even more possibilities on their genetic tool belts. As they grow, they have small to large black and sometimes normal green colored markings all over their shells and skin some even develop a lime albino color
There have now been several first breedings with non-Paradox RES that have produced hatching Paradox so the gene is clearly dominant.
