I hope that color was created by your camera, but it looks cool.

Nope, years of f***ing with burm genetics has creathed the paradox albino... there are others that exist. They are like piebald balls, only instead of having leucistic areas, they have albino areas.

Hehehe cool ;) Not appealing to me, but meh!

looks like a fake to me, neat though
looking at the genetics part I'd say it's pretty neat (I am too much in the corn's genetic...going a bit crazy..every snake I look at I think of the genes...)
Anyway I too think that it looks kind of bad....but again..with the genetics it's really really cool~

I don't understand why everybody thinks that it is ugle. I think it's the best looking burm i've seen.

I think that it looks very cool!
Crazy but cool. Is it just me or does that snake hurt the eyes to look at? Maybe it's just the pic.

Thats awsome :)
That is really freaky looking. It's pretty cool though.

Very cool........a couple of them have been produced. I don't think they are genetic but neat to have in your collection. Which bloodline did they come out of?

There is a guy that has an paradox albino burm on KS for sale for $6,500.00. Of course, it has been for sale for some time now, but ...

Looks fake to me, the pattern dos'nt match. I've never even herd of these before. lookks like somebody pasted a norm pic over a albino pic.

I dont mean to argue but i just wanted to point out that the snake looks way too fake to me. The pattern doesn't even match. It is genetically impossible. I would rather like to see some proof regarding this "morph" and maybe some more pics. I know of paradox boas. But this is just ridiculous.
Here's something I copied and pasted from the web...
"If an animal has characteristics of an amelanistic albino but also has splashes of pitch-black pigmentation, then what is it? That is the nature of the paradox by this new boa constrictor morph produced by Vision Herpetological. Obviously there is a great deal yet to be learned about the genetics of pigmentation in snakes.
The history of the "Paradox" boa constrictor is worth elaborating on because it shows the kinds of
reproductive experiments that can lead to new "designer" snakes. The sire of the "Paradox" boa is a
hybrid Suriname red-tail boa x Colombian boa heterozygous for albinism (Boa constrictor constrictor
x B. c. imperator). The sire was bred with two sibling female Colombian common boas (B. c. imperator) that were heterozygous for albinism.
One female produced a litter of 16 babies, four of which ere albino. The other had a litter of 18 babies of which six were albino. Each female produced one "Paradox" boa constrictor. This suggests that a combination of two different recessive genes may be required for the expression of this trait. By raising these two female "Paradox" boas to sexual maturity and back crossing them to their father, it is hoped that the genetics of this new boa constrictor morph will be elucidated and this new morph will be established in herpetoculture."

(Those are ks .com links... fix them if you want to view the pic and where I got that paragraph)
You see, the paradox boa was a cross hybrid between a Suriname red-tail boa x Colombian boa heterozygous for albinism. Plus the paradox boa has specks of black, not a blotch of pattern pasted onto the snake.
That burm just doesn't make sense!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
The pattern doesn't even match. It is genetically impossible.
Sure the pattern matches... far as I can tell, the lines keep going where they should.
And where exactly are you getting the 'fact' that this morph is genetically impossible? While I'm not saying that this isn't a modified picture, I don't believe it is genetically impossible. Others have been produced.

Like I said, it may very well be fake, but I should think it is also quite possible.

Ah hah! Thank you Zoe that's all I needed... PROOF!! I believe now that it is possible, but that pic (not the link you showed, the other one), to me at least, still looks a little enhanced. Oh well. Thanks again!

Just an observation -
If you look at the picture link posted by Zoe, the animal appears albino with random amounts of black pigment. (Paradox)
If you look at the originally posted picture the animal appears to be albino, with patches of regular coloration.
Again I say Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........
