The genetics

Axanthic

Recessive

Axanthic is a recessive mutation that removes yellow (xanthin) pigment while leaving melanin intact. The result is a gray, black, and white snake that keeps its normal pattern and dark eyes but loses all warm coloration.

Arctic

Incomplete Dominant

Arctic is an incomplete-dominant gene that tends to brighten, clean up, and cool the overall appearance of a Western Hognose. Arctic animals often show a lighter base color, sharper contrast, cleaner pattern, brighter coloration, white outlines around pattern elements, and speckling/flecking compared to non-Arctic animals.

Anaconda

Incomplete Dominant

Anaconda, often shortened to Conda, is an incomplete-dominant pattern mutation. One copy reduces the normal blotched dorsal pattern, creating a cleaner, more open, simplified appearance — the pattern becomes reduced, broken, or simplified.

What makes a Axanthic Arctic Anaconda

  • Two copies of Axanthic — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
  • One copy of Anaconda — the single-gene form.
  • One copy of Arctic — the single-gene Arctic form (incomplete dominant).

This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job.
