I also just found this cool looking paradox. so apparently it has half scales and half missing scales. also just gonna tag these guys to see what they think or if they have ever seen anything like this @eaglereptiles @t_h_wyman @stewart_reptiles @wreckroomsnakes
That is a very unique chimera o.o is so cool when siblings join during embryo stage not to mention fascinating. I wonder if you could end up with different DNA in a clutch?
if you mean a dual clutch possibly bonding as a embryo i doubt it because it is two different sperm cells fertilizing two different embryos. I think even if it was possible the baby would be so genetically screwed up that it would die before making it to term. regular paradoxs still share the DNA of the siblings because they came from the same parents, hence why they do just fine without any deformities.
I remember when Freedom breeder hatched Harvey Dent definitely a unique specimen I do not believe anything similar has been produced since.
I can’t remember the exact video, though I’m sure it was a tour of Billy’s facility by another breeder, but @mutation_creation has a complete 50/50 paradox that splits almost exactly down the centre. Definitely one of the most unique animals I’ve ever seen.
To myself it makes sense that we will see a lot of paradoxing in scaleless BPs.
Paradoxing can be extremely subtle and a lot of the time goes unnoticed… A slight speck here, a small miscoloured patch there … But with scaleless we are looking for one specific thing, scales.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in 5-10 years time it causes people to look back through their collections and realise other paradoxes that went unnoticed.
Not quite like that so what I mean is chimera occurrs when two siblings merge into one but have 2different pheno types day one siblings was banana and the other was normal something occurs during where maybe the zygote of one egg ends up bonding/consuming half of the other egg creating the rate anomaly especially in snakes I think it would only happen if it was in an egg that was going to have twins (?) It happens in dogs and cats though as well.
What I was curious was could their be 2 different strands kind of like how a human found out that a kid wasn’t their kid during a genetic test only to figure out he was a chimera genetically and the kids actually came from his brothers DNA that was consumed. Something along those lines but just remembering biology classes ^^

hopefully its not too far off topic since i started the new discussion about a scaleless paradox
