Albino Frosted Superarctic Superconda

Albino is a recessive, amelanistic mutation in which melanin is absent entirely. The normal blotched pattern stays visible but loses all black pigment, leaving red, orange, or yellow tones with red eyes.

Recessive — an animal must inherit two copies for it to show visually. A single copy is a hidden 'het' carrier.

This gene is currently under review by the hognose community.

Superarctic is the two-copy (super) form of the Arctic gene — not a separate gene. It produces a stronger, more dramatic expression of the Arctic look: brighter, cleaner, often with very strong black-and-white contrast. It occurs when a hognose inherits Arctic from both parents.

Superconda is the two-copy (super) form of the Anaconda gene — not a separate gene. It produces an extreme reduction in pattern on the body, often resulting in a nearly patternless or greatly simplified appearance. The head stamp remains. It occurs when a hognose inherits Anaconda from both parents.
