First, congrats on all your work and those awesome boas that have made us scratch our heads and look at genetics differently. The Paradigm was great to expand our knowledge and help us see what other snake people allready knew (silly colubrids). So it appears the same locus theory stands. As was speculated by some of us, the results for breedings should play out as:



Sharp X Caramel =

100% Paradigm



Paradigm X Sharp =

50% Sharp

50% Paradigm



Paradigm X Caramel =

50% Paradigm and

50% Caramel



Paradigm x het Sharp=

25% Sharp

25% het Sharp

25% Paradigm

25% het Caramel



Paradigm X het Caramel=

25% Carmel

25% het Caramel

25% Paradigm

25% het Sharp



Het Sharp X Het Caramel=

25% Paradigm

25% het Sharp

25% het Caramel

25% wild type



Paradigm X Paradigm=

25% Sharps

25% Caramel

50% Paradigms



Sharp X het Caramel=

50% Paradigm

50% het Sharp



Caramel X het Sharp=

50% Paradigm

50% het Caramel



Paradigm X wild type=

50% het Sharp

50% het Caramel



What I find most interesting about this morph is that you produce more Paradigms from a Sharp X Caramel breeding than from a Paradigm X Paradigm breeding.



Here is the math for a Paradigm x Paradigm:

Dad can pass Sharp (a) or Caramel (b).

Mom can pass Sharp (a) or Caramel (b).



Your outcomes:

25% aa (Sharp albino)

25% bb (Caramel)

50% ab (Paradigms)



Now, in a Sharp x Caramel breeding:

Dad can pass Sharp (a) or (a).

Mom can pass Caramel (b) or (b).



Your outcomes:

100% Paradigm (ab)



Congrats again and thanks for sharing so much information.
