Yeah, the $2 fee to cash it was a buzz kill for sure.

I always get to send uncle Sam money.

Just a thought, Could I launch a Church group that worships Thamnophis and get an exemption?

paradox is not a breedable trait, unfortunately,

it appears to be totally random and nobody has been able to reproduce paradox anything with any success!!

Now what is a “paradox”.

I know the meaning of the word but not in ref to a snake.

And how or what type would you even consider to breed to get this “paradox”?

Anyone

It appears random in some snakes.I had a caramel albino that had a bunch of normal looking scales on the rear half.The original lucy had a bunch of normal scales also.I don't know if any of the babies produced last year had any.

And do you have any pics of this anomaly?? or any does anyone have pics?

a paradox is a snake that is a color morph of some kind, such as albino, or leucistic, or a pastel, that for some reason has patches of totally normal looking, or sometimes black coloration. It's really weird, and seems to be totally unpredictable. Even though the trait is not breedable, paradox's sell for a lot more money than regular morphs. Some speculate that your chances of producing a paradox could be increased if your snake is the offspring of or related to a paradox, and that is behind the high-pricing as well.

here are some pics from Daytona of paradox animals...

The breeder had this snake labeled "calico" checkered garter, but their term is misleading, and wrong.... calico is a breedable genetic trait, this is just an albino gone wrong, like all paradox's!
