Caramel · Carmel
Includes Frost, which is currently under review by the hognose community. It's in the Public Morph Guide so you can browse it — the look is real and well documented; how it inherits is still being worked out.
The genetics
Frost
Recessive — an animal must inherit two copies for it to show visually. A single copy is a hidden 'het' carrier.
This gene is currently under review by the hognose community.
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.
What makes a Caramel
- Two copies of Frost — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Hypo — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job.
