Interesting notion about Paradox being a recessive trait in Boas.
I am trying to learn about Boa genetics and I thought that the Paradox would be a good case to study to hasten my understanding. Turns out of course that not much appears to be known yet about the genetics of paradox forms in boas.

Is it possible that it is oporating differently than what is generally understood of alleles to function in Boas? i.e. a 'breakdown of the dom/codom/incomplete/recessive functioning?
Or what if it is a sign of to much inbreeding, a degradation of the Boa gene? (as paradox is more fully expressed it appears to be an increase of the blending of all the allele traits present).Of course I'm no genetisist, just curious....
