what I was getting at....11/16 would have a visual phenotype other than normal IF caramel and sharp are two different gene pairs. AKA 5/16 would look normal.

But, "IF" this is a tripple allele on one locus, each animal can only have two alleles and if both are paradigm, then NO normal genes exist in this pairing. Outcome would have NO normal boas at all, 25% caramel, 50% paradigm, 25% sharp .

so, easiest way to determine this genetic riddle is to breed two paradigms. if any normals pop out, then there are two seperate gene pairs that are somehow interacting. If no normals pop out, then there are three possible genes that can go into that specific gene pair.
