Yeah, it's like a 99.9% chance that the combination will be indistinguishable from a normal albino. "Normal" amelanism (T-) results in a failure to produce the enzyme tyrosinase. In "Caramel" amelanism, the tyrosinase is still present, but it fails to manufacture melanin, most likely due to a mutation on one of the active sites of the tyrosinase enzyme.
I suppose there may be a minuscule chance for paradoxism to occur in a double homozygous individual that could result in an albino with caramel spots, which would definitely allow you to distinguish one in the rare event of paradoxism. If indeed possible, however, the chances of actually hatching one are extremely unlikely, considering how rare normal paradox albinos are. If the mechanism behind paradoxism in albino ball pythons is determined to be genetic in some manner, that may be a worthwhile project, but at the moment paradoxism appears to be a freak occurrence.
