work on Rat snake albinos in the test that determined one T-positive and the other T-negative when they had the same or very close phenotypes like the Kahl and Sharp.
I remember reading about the testing, and I think it was on your website. I was talking with another breeder this past year about doing similar tests in the Albino boas, an the breeder told me that they thought Dave had been one of the people involved in the Rat Snake tests.

There has to be some definate reason that Kahl and Sharp are different, asside from just not being compatible. Whatever causes Amelanism in the two mutations is likely different in each case.

I personally don't think that VPI X Sharp will yield Paradigms in the F1, I do think that the F2 Double Homozygous have a good chance of carrying a similar phenotype. Likewise, if there are DH Caramel Kahls, I think the end result double homozygous will share characteristics with the Paradigms.
