Component genes
This morph's genetics are pending breeder review and may be refined.
The genetics
Axanthic
RecessiveAxanthic 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.
Caramel
RecessiveCaramel is a recessive mutation that shifts pigment toward a warm brown/caramel tone rather than removing it outright. It softens the contrast between the dorsal blotches and the ground color.
Arctic
Incomplete DominantArctic is an incomplete-dominant gene that tends to brighten, clean up, and cool the overall appearance of a Western Hognose. Arctic animals often show a lighter base color, sharper contrast, cleaner pattern, brighter coloration, white outlines around pattern elements, and speckling/flecking compared to non-Arctic animals.
Anaconda
Incomplete DominantAnaconda, 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 Frostbite Arctic Anaconda
- Two copies of Axanthic — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Caramel — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- One copy of Anaconda — the single-gene form.
- One copy of Arctic — the single-gene Arctic form (incomplete dominant).
This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job (coming soon).
