The genetics
Sable
Sable is a recessive mutation that increases melanin production, producing a darker, richer brown snake than normal. It's often bred into lighter morphs like Albino specifically to deepen contrast. They typically have 2 clear scales under their chin, creating a heart shape.
Arctic x2
Superarctic is the two-copy (super) form of the Arctic gene — not a separate gene. It produces a stronger, more dramatic expression of the Arctic look: brighter, cleaner, often with very strong black-and-white contrast. It occurs when a hognose inherits Arctic from both parents.
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 Blucifer Anaconda
- Two copies of Sable — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- One copy of Anaconda — the single-gene form.
- Two copies of Arctic — the 'Superarctic' super form.
This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job.
