That's the theory that the Sharp are T-plus.

The only snake to have the tests done were in Rat Snakes. There were two Albinos (like our Kahl and Sharp in Boas). They were bred together and DH were produced.

So tests were done, one was T-neg the other T-plus, even though they both "looked" T-neg. Just like Sharp and Kahl "look" T-neg.

Visually the Paradigm is a T-plus Albino. If the first Paradigm found was from unknown origins and the Sharp/Carmel combo wasn't known, it would be labeled T-plus Albino for sure.

The genetics carry a Sharp gene and a Carmel gene, though they interact to form a homozygous state as opposed to a DH.

Paradigm X Paradigm should produce 50% Paradigm, $25% Sharp, and 25% Carmel.
