The result certainly supports that the genetic mutations are at least very close so they have an overlapping effect. I haven't seen the caramels that you used to breed but imagine there would be some variation in their appearance. Have you found that different caramels make different looking Paradigms?

You have done a very good job with this in depth project in both the production of the animals and the way that you have presented the information. The introduction of the Paradigm and the genetic issues it has raised have been very beneficial to the boa community. With the animals you have already produced you are certainly well positioned to be the lead producer of the Paradigm morphs for years to come. I look forward to seeing how thw Paradigm appears in different combination morphs.
