The genetics
Hypo
(Evans/Dutch Hypo) — Hypo is a recessive, true hypomelanistic mutation that reduces rather than eliminates melanin. Dorsal blotches come out brighter and more saturated — often orange instead of brown — while the dark eyes are retained.
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 Banshee
- Two copies of Hypo — 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.
