I said I wanted to buy that 100% het Caramel from you to breed to my Sharp in the future. You asked why?

I knew it would be cool, but this is WHY! And I did not know about this then. WOW!!!!!!

So any chance I can still get that guy born on July 19 (my b-day)?

Boy am I glad I kept those het for Caramels!

I hate you right? LOL
All in good fun.

This is the single MOST exciting thing to happen in boas. I love genetics, and when things come along that you have no idea what is going on, it makes it that much better.

Then you throw in my favorite Colombian boa morphs, YEAH! Hmm, if this works with Colombian T-plus X Sharp, even if not the same. I think I will have found my calling!

how long have you been hiding those?

>>And have been for years. You can't steal my name.

That doesn't mean you hold patent to the name for a new boa morph.. unless of course you've been keeping a breeding project under wraps. Either way, he beat you too it for the morph name, and prolly has just a bit more 'clout' and 'sway'.

Mike, those boas are AWESOME! I forsee some nasty NASRTY morph combos coming out of those bad boys .

recycle your pets

Paradigmboa has been my legal business name since '97. Paradigmboa @ yahoo.com is my email addy and Paradigmboas has been my moniker here on KS.
I don't have a legal issue with using the name to coin a new morph. I just don't think it's right to take someones business name open a dot com and use it to their advantage.
How would any of you feel if your name was taken in this way?

address the situation. I would contact Mike privately and discuss it with him. Just my .02 Vinnie

.coms are first come first serve, and I know Mike has had his for a while.

If it was that important, you probably would not have waited?

I own giantkeeperreptiles.com, and even changed my web address to www.bloodyleopard.com but I maintain the former for as long as I do business as Giantkeeper Reptiles.....

Who knows, its highly possible that you're business will benefit from people mistakingly assuming you own/breed these boas rather than the other way around.

I think the first thing any "business" does is register their domain name in this day and age. In fact the name paradigmboas.net is still likely available. So the business name "Paradigm Boas" is still available. Mike did not change his business name. He just selected a great name for a new morph. Also, an email address, on-line nickname or CB handle does not constitute a "business name". Just my two cents.

Congrats Mike

They are INCREDIBLE! I've always hoped for something like this,it shows that there is more to genetics than the simple two dimentional prayer rug that we like to park our carcasses on! (*lol*) and that there's often unseen reason to pay close attention to detail,and always keep an open mind! congratulations! and major kudos for presenting the information you've uncovered! "way to go"!!!!

What a cool outcome!!! I would have blabbed to the entire nation years ago if it happened to me...lol

In case any of you missed it, here is the story...

The Paradigm story!!!

Words can't describe!!!! I can't believe you were able to hold on to that little secret for sooooooooo longggggg!

Awesome Mike,see you tomorrow!!!! I know what table i'm hitting first!

Ruben Michel

You have done some amazing work!!!! Great job!!! Congrats!! I am very excited about this news...Congrats and look forward to more pics and info in this wonderful new morph!!!
How much would something like that be? Those look totally amazing!!!

Thanks for sharing! Andy Federico

I am not sure I totally understand the genetics of what is going on here even after reading the web site. They are very interesting and I look forward to learning more about them. It must have been hard to keep this quiet.

I need to read that link again.

Totally awsome!!!

and my head is spinning. Thanks for sharing man, big time! I'm going to go calm down now and tell my dad to check the forum. Trey Schneller, Schneller Reptiles

Congratulations and thanks for all the information.

BOW TO ALL THAT IS "PARADIGM"!!!

Nice Mike, REAL Nice. I don't know which impresses me the most .... the new "Paradigm" or the discipline it took to keep this a secret. Congratulations Bro.

That is a really cool project! You know how I have struggled to keep that a secret for so long! Its just one more bonus to the Sharp strain albino project!

Have a great show!

John

the Ultramel cornmorph.

The caramelgene must be on the same locus as the sharp albino gene. This results animals the paradigm look. If this is the same as the ultramelcorn, this is a great great GREAT project. If not, its also a great great GREAT project!

WOOOEEEEEE yeah!!!

Eabele.

produced in years!!

Oh wow, those are just awesome. Congrats!

Caramel het x Sharp het = paradigm and 50% dh's etc. This may answer the question as to why the Sharp is not compatible with the Kahl, and we have for some time speculated some level of "t " connection with the Sharp. Have you bred this caramel to a Kahl albino?! If you got normals that would definately fill in some gaps of the Kahl difference from the Sharp, but who knows?!! Have you bred the paradigm to a normal?! That is the MAIN question!! Iif you can get paradigms in the first generation or you need the normal morph to be at least het for one of the two-sharp or caramel!! Either way the Sharp albinos and your line of caramel (and hopefully a few others!)have a lot of neat things ahead of them!!

Congrats!!! Guess we all have some breeding to do...hmmmm now I know why you kept it a secret!!!

Tracy

are you telling me I have to breed my Sharps into my T's? I wonder if Tracy is right- are Sharps just a different phenotype than the typical T positive? I feel sorry for all those not going to Anaheim.

emailed Mike a few weeks ago about some differences I noted between my Sharp and Kahl, I would have emailed you but you don't have Kahls to compare to.

I have also thought that the Caramel was some form of T-plus gene.

There are a bunch of things fitting together now, and many more unanswered.

All I can say on the forum, I NEED TO GET STARTED ON MY AMEL RESEARCH! Well, I have to go email a prof. and see about this.

this is for me. This summer Jeff Ronne had a litter of het Carmels, one male was born early on July 19 (my b-day). So I asked Jeff if I could buy it for my female Sharp in the future.

He asked why I would want to do that, and this is WHY! WOW.

I wasn't able to get that male, and now I have a feeling Jeff won't let any go for SURE!

Now I HAVE to make it to Chicago!

I am so excited, this really releases the stress of classes. Oh my god!

I lost your number.
My cell is 412-953-4098. I'm done with class today so unless I don't have service I can be reached all weekend.

I want to talk to you about some things I have thought about, that might be linked here. Possibly proven theorys, and an interesting mutation another breeder I know is working with in Corn Snakes that works 100% like this.

WOW!

Will they be in Chicago???

Het Sharp Boa Woman Cramel aka T positive. That is awesome. I cant wait to see what the double Homo version looks like. Anyone have any guesses? Maybe a Lucy with red eyes...I can dream can't I. Congrats again on an awesome project. Vinnie

Congratulations Mike on this beautiful new snake. I am proud to have been a part....if only from the beginning....of this unique project. Congratulations to Stephanie as well, as I remember you asking her how many carmels she wanted, and I know she has assisted you all along the way. Your years of speculation and experimentation have paid off in a big way. All the best to both of you. Sharon / boawoman

ps....If an attached pic comes up, it was in the box and it will not delete, so it is a pic of just one of my other babies.

What can I say that hasn't allready been said? Amazing accomplishment and an equally amazing feat keeping it under wraps until its fruition! Big things expected from BASICALLY BOAS.Definetly.

Congrats again,

Fredrick Albury

The numer 1! mustation this year!!! BIG congratulations. I could bet they will produce dbl hets. by breeding them togather. What a suprise!!! Fantastic
Im a FAN of this new morph.
Great job.

Hey Mike,
That is awesome, who would have ever thought. All I can say is "WOW". I knew when Sharon first produced the Carmels that they were going to be something special, but I would have never guessed this. I am definetly going to shuffle some of my pairings this year. Give me a call when you get back from Anaheim, we need to talk some more.
Steve

AWESOME Mike.I can't believe you produced your own T-ALBINO.See you Sunday in Anehiem.
