I produced a Calico/Freak boa in 2006 ... pic attached is from 2006 ... I need to take a current pic because he is really wicked-looking now.



I simply called it a Calico/Freak because that is what Ralph had called his, and mine also came from a DH Snow female bred by a Snow male. By the way, I am considering him a DHet, and does in fact carry the Kahl Albino gene.



I do not not consider the Paradox and Calico to be the same, primarily due to the background of the parents ... but given the dialogue on these forums, I can see why everyone is confused (including myself). I consider Paradox's to have the random black pigments and different parentage. I also believe Scott's has some Hypo influence in it, which makes if different from what Ralph and I have. (I asked Scott about this at Daytona)



What does all this mean? I really don't know, but thought I would simply throw out some pieces of factual data to try to draw upon.



Also, I have not actively used my male in any breeding up to this point ... he has seen some courting, but he has always been trumped by another male. I do have some 2005 Anerys Het Albino/Snow (males & females) that have considerable "white blotchyness" ... the came from a different litter than my Freak, but sired by the same male Snow.
