The genetics
Albino
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.
Lavender
Lavender is a recessive, tyrosinase-positive (T+) form of albino. It produces a soft gray-lavender body with a purple tongue and eyes; hatchlings often carry a reddish tint that fades to lavender-gray with age.
Arctic
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.
What makes a Coral Arctic
- Two copies of Albino — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Lavender — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- 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.
