    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Anyone have chimeras?

I only have TwoFace, but I'd love to see whatever other chimeras exist out there

Admittedly I don't know anything about B.Dragons. What makes a dragon a chimera? Is it a morph or similar to other paradox mutations?
 
It can happen in any animal, Venus the cat is another example. It's when to embryos fuse together and create one offspring. In my case, the two fused perfectly down the dorsum and had one gene displayed on only half the animal
 
This is definitely an interesting thread. I would hope that you both keep them to see if/what proves out. Must something in the water on the west coast, jus sayin.
 
My bad. Air? Anyway jokes aside, it would be neat to see what genes these two pass along.
 
That all makes sense to me now, thanks. I was staring at the B. Dragon and couldn't see the difference as I was looking for some erratic pattern. I didn't even look to see that the animal was split right down the middle. Cool pictures everyone. I can clearly see the separation on the hognose = very cool.

This picture (not mine) is more of what I was looking for... some total random merging of different mutations. Paradox (chimera) albino ball python, demonstrating both the albino and normal/wild type features.

TwoFace is poss het for hypo and trans, 100% het zero, I'm assuming it would be possible for one half to carry hypo and the other half to carry trans, correct?
 
very cool animals!

I wonder how the bearded and hog will prove out?
I've heard quite a few times in BPs and Boas where the albino gene is half showing (like in Robert's photo) that the animals tend to act as a het albino, like the hidden gene it's carrying is poking through. I would have expected them to act as albinos when bred.
