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.
Toffee Belly
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
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 Cocktail
- Two copies of Sable — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- 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.
