How many of the original 2004 litter were paradigms? This breeding was a male Sharp x female Caramel breeding. Theoretically, all the babies should have been wild type which were double hets. for Sharp and Caramel. There is only one picture of a 2004 offspring on www.paradigmboa.com. That baby has pink eyes (obvious in the adult photo). That baby is albino. How many paradigm boas have pink eyes? Do they all? In the description, it reads the 2004 litter was "an entire litter of gorgeous looking babies." What does that mean? Were they all paradigms? Did they all have pink eyes? The eyes play a huge role. I have seen a boa that was identical to a T+, but had normal colored eyes? Is it still a T+? The odds Mike had don't match anything. I think the boa gods blessed him with a great, but abnormal ratio. Many questions can be answered by knowing the exact phenotype of the original 2004 litter. This will also probably lead to more questions.
