So if the double het is the paradigm what is a homozygous form of the double het trait??? Or is the double het form actually the homozygous caramel het for t- albino??? My thinking is the sharp line is related to the t line kinda like the albino retics can throw white albinos, lavender albinos, dark purple albinos, yellow albinos etc all from the same parents... I know nothing about this trait been out of the boa market for a long time, can anyone update me to this trait and how things work??? thanks for your time, sm

Here is a link to the paradigm genetics..

Just to help you out a little without trying to dive into the full genetics, yes the visual boa woman caramel and sharp albino is the paradigm, add the hypo gene in there and you have the paraglows. When you get into the hets it is tricky as they can't be double het for both but only het for one or the other. These have been coined parahets which are either het boa woman caramel or het sharp albino.

Hope this helps a little bit.
