Antarctic
Antarctic is a newer incomplete-dominant trait — one copy is visually expressed, two copies produce a super form (Superantarctic). Crucially, Antarctic is ALLELIC to Arctic: they occupy the same gene location, so they do not stack like unrelated traits. A snake cannot independently carry both Superarctic and Superantarctic. One Arctic allele plus one Antarctic allele produces the 'Antarctic Arctic' compound — a distinct combined expression, not a simple stack. Plan Arctic/Antarctic pairings carefully.
Anaconda
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 Antarctic Anaconda
- One copy of Anaconda — the single-gene form.
- One copy of Antarctic — the single-gene Antarctic form (incomplete dominant, allelic with Arctic).
This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job.
