Isn’t this interesting to contemplate… This is a little bit like a conspiracy prognostication in my little mind anyhow.













A number of years ago Bigg Mike introduced us all to the Paradigm Boa. This was a monumental event and one we shall never forget. At the time, not have any inkling that two distinct mutations could in fact reside on the exact same location, I speculated that the BW Caramel and Sharp Albino together utilizing nothing more than what I believed were visual het traits that together made the appearance of the Paradigm. Chris Gilbert then illuminated us to the fact that it is possible for two different traits to reside on the same allele. Something that virtually no Boa guys knew about. Future breedings have in fact led us to believe that this is correct. But is it?













I think it probably is. But if it is not, then in every instance where a person uses a Paradigm to breed to a Sharp Albino, every single Albino produced is not only homozygous for Sharp Albino but is 50% Possible het for BW Caramel! What does that mean? Well that means that 50% of those Albinos WILL produce Paradigm Boas with ANYTHING you breed them to. That’s right. All the offspring from such an Albino will inherit the Sharp Albino gene. Half of them will also inherit the BW Caramel gene creating Paradigm Boas with Boas completely unrelated to BW Caramels and Sharp Albinos. It’s at least very interesting to think about and at best something else exciting to ponder… my mind wanders in the wilderness too much.
