A Paradox boa is a T neg albino that happens to have black specs on it.

Calling a ghost or a hypo a paradox is kind of redundant.

If it is a ghost or a hypo, it is not T neg and therefore has melanin or black pigment, albeit reduced.

The term paradox should apply to an animal that should not exhibit black and for some strange reason, does exhibit a small amount of black.
