By definition, paradigm is one Sharp albino gene paired with one Boawoman caramel hypo gene. Yes, not widely bred and proven, but as I understood it if you were to breed a sharp albino to a homozygous caramel albino, you would get all paradigms. The paradigm being the FIRST identified gene locus in boas with three possible genes, normal albino and caramel albino. If true, then would be three possible outcomes from paradigm x paradigm:



1/2 paradigm

1/4 caramel albino

1/4 sharp albino



I use simple math to calculate the possibilities:



Then Paradigm het Anery X Hypo Motley paradigm het Anery



You factor each morph seperately:



Paradigm x paradigm = 3 possible visual morphs

het anery x het anery = 2 possible visual morphs

norm x hypo = 2 possible visual morphs

norm x motley = 2 possible visual morphs



2x2x2x3=24 possible visual combinations



Of course the probability of each individual combination is more difficult but still the same process except you multiply the individual probabilities.



ie sharp moonglow motley =

sharp albino(25%) x anery (25%) x hypo (50%) x motley (50%) or

.25 x .25 x .5 x .5 = 0.015625 = 1/64 Probability
