>Have we heard what happens when a paradigm is bred to a normal? Or hypo or ghost?? Do we see paradigms?

The most likely hypothesis to date is that paradigms have a Sharp albino mutant gene paired with a boawoman caramel mutant gene.

If the hypothesis is correct, then mating a paradigm to a normal boa will produce all normal-looking babies. The expectation is that half the babies will be het Sharp albino and half will be het boawoman caramel.

If the hypothesis is correct, then the only ways to get paradigms would be from matings where one parent can contribute a Sharp albino mutant gene and the other can contribute a boawoman caramel mutant gene. As a genetically normal boa can contribute neither mutant, there would be no chance of paradigms.

On the other hand, the hypothesis could be wrong. So I am quite interested in the result of the mating, too.
