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.
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 Frostbite Superconda
- 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 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.
