The genetics
Axanthic
RecessiveAxanthic 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.
Swiss Chocolate
RecessiveSwiss Chocolate is a recessive, hypermelanistic mutation that increases melanin production, concentrated most heavily on the head. Hatchlings are born dark and stay that way, producing a rich chocolate-brown snake — similar to Sable but darker and warmer in tone.
Anaconda
Incomplete DominantAnaconda, 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 Chocolate Anaconda
- Two copies of Axanthic — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Swiss Chocolate — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- One copy of Anaconda — the single-gene form.
This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job (coming soon).
