The key piece of info is the paradigm boa which has one caramel gene and one sharp albino gene when bred to an albino produced only albino's and paradigm's. The percentages are off and while that may be an important piece of info, IMO the fact that there were no normals (in that breeding) is a strong indicator that the two het morphs could share the same alelle. If not, then I wouold have expected a quarter of the babies (at least some) to have recieved neither morph gene from the paradigm and been normal het for albino.

I agree the clincher will be the paradigm to caramel cross, if only paradigm and caramel produced, bingo, the first identified alelle in boas with three possible genes.
