The genetics
Toffee Belly
Toffee Belly is a recessive mutation, believed to be related to the T+ albino line, that replaces the normal black-and-white checkered belly with a toffee-gold color. Minor dorsal lightening can accompany the belly change.
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 Toffee Arctic
- Two copies of Toffee Belly — 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.
