Well I have made several attempts at getting a good quality pic of the Paraglow post shed, but can't seem to get a pic I am happy with. I don't want to keep you waiting any longer, so for now here is a pic of the Paraglow and a Paradigm together right after birth. I will keep trying for a good quality pic I am happy with and as soon as I get one I will post it up.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

>Have we heard what happens when a paradigm is bred to a normal? Or hypo or ghost?? Do we see paradigms?

The most likely hypothesis to date is that paradigms have a Sharp albino mutant gene paired with a boawoman caramel mutant gene.

If the hypothesis is correct, then mating a paradigm to a normal boa will produce all normal-looking babies. The expectation is that half the babies will be het Sharp albino and half will be het boawoman caramel.

If the hypothesis is correct, then the only ways to get paradigms would be from matings where one parent can contribute a Sharp albino mutant gene and the other can contribute a boawoman caramel mutant gene. As a genetically normal boa can contribute neither mutant, there would be no chance of paradigms.

On the other hand, the hypothesis could be wrong. So I am quite interested in the result of the mating, too.

I am guessing wrong, I say if you breed a paradigm to a normal you get paradigms, but I am usually wrong. I also perdict this has already been done and is just being kept secret. Craig

If it pans out that the two genes share the same locus, we will see the results Paul stated. One of these days...

the intresting thing would be that when you breed a Paradigm to any non Sharp or Caramel gene carring animal you could breed any of the offspring back to the Paradigm and produce Paradigms.

You would also be able to prove out weather they are het Sharp or Het Caramel that way. Breeding those offspring to each other would be very intresting as well it would be a real crap shoot. You could get either Sharps, Caramels or Paradigms, but you could never get more than one in the same litter.

amazing how much that resembles the sunglows...Very nice Mike!

ie Paraglow.....

I noticed that there were some Paradox Sunglows/Albinos being called Paraglows...not sure why that should stick seeing the Paradox trait with Albinos has not been proven...IMO it will never be...

again, just my opinion ;O)
