The genetics

Toffee Belly

Recessive

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.

Anaconda x2

Incomplete Dominant

Superconda is the two-copy (super) form of the Anaconda gene — not a separate gene. It produces an extreme reduction in pattern on the body, often resulting in a nearly patternless or greatly simplified appearance. The head stamp remains. It occurs when a hognose inherits Anaconda from both parents.

What makes a Candy

  • Two copies of Toffee Belly — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
  • Two copies of Anaconda — the 'Superconda' super form.

This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job.
