Reverse Paradox and lethal leucistic....
Wayne and Deb Larks from Morelia Magic have been at the forefront of python
morph breeding in Australia for many years now, but their enthusiasm for new
projects remains infectious.
I think we can help out a little with the history that
Neville was talking about. Simon Stone’s original
albino Paradox Darwin was called ‘Destiny’ and was
the result of a het to het pairing. Coincidentally, I
believe that when Destiny hatched, Simon (like
Neville later on) also initially thought that the
markings were caused by faeces present in the egg.
I don’t think Destiny herself produced any more
Paradoxes, but when Simon retired, he advertised
his Paradox project for sale, which included a
couple of Paradox animals and a bunch of related
snakes. Deb still has the advert. Simon may have
held on to Destiny, but some of the Paradox
animals around now can be traced back to one of
her siblings (another Paradox) from a different
clutch.
Our Paradox albino Darwins are totally different to
Simon’s, and four or five have cropped up at
random in the same line. As mentioned earlier in
this article, a few years back, along with the
