i start with sand boas when i was a kid and one of the things that happens in anery sand boas is they throw normals. what seems to happen is the more out crossing you do to strengthening the blood line, then more often anery to anery breedings throw normals. gene mutations like anery seem to be "bad" mutations so the genes try to fix themselves. when the gene "fixs" it's self in the single cell animal you get a normal het for nothing normal from a anery to anery breeding. what i think is happening in albino Colombians is that the gene is try to fix itself some time after the egg has already started to divide, so you get patches of normal cells mixed in to the albino cells causing the paradox condition. my guess is the the paradox albino might not always produce albinos if the "fix" cell happen in a sex cell you can get normals from those paradox albino to albino breeding. but i could be wrong.
