Toffee Belly Chocolate Superconda
The genetics
Toffee Belly
RecessiveToffee 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.
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 x2
Incomplete DominantSuperconda 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 Chocolate
- Two copies of Toffee Belly — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Swiss Chocolate — 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 (coming soon).
