The genetics
Axanthic
Axanthic is a recessive mutation that removes yellow (xanthin) pigment while leaving melanin intact. The result is a gray, black, and white snake that keeps its normal pattern and dark eyes but loses all warm coloration.
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.
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 Casper Anaconda
- Two copies of Axanthic — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Frost — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Hypo — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- One copy of Anaconda — the single-gene form.
This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job.
