To clarify, I never meant that mine had black scales where it should not have them. Simply that the colors were not normal. Yes, Paradox may not be the correct term but I don't see another term that fits better. Whatever the proper term to describe them (both yours and mine) IMO they are way cool individuals. Even if they are simply one off oddities.





I do find it amusing that you accept and use the strict "black scale(s) on an Albino" definition of Paradox to support your position and in the same post you also seem to ignore the "White scale(s)" and "coming in at sexual maturity" definitions of a Calico trait.



Using all those definitions, our boas do not precisely fit Paradox or Calico.





Again, still cool boas and I totally agree with you that we all see things differently and are entitled to do so!
