Well, I left this alone for a while to allow someone else to chime in first but nobody responded.....





Paradox (in boa constrictor) is used to describe an Albino Boa with Black scales. Anything from one or two to large patches.





Calico Boas have not been identified at this time that I know of. At least not using the Method of expression defined in at least two other species as - White scales/blotches appearing as the animal reaches sexual maturity.





That female I sold you and her sister that I kept I called "Paradox" since they were Albino related and both showed abnormal coloring. My thought at the time and still thinking it is - if they had received two Albino genes instead of one, they would likely have black scales and fit the classic description of "Albino with black scales".
