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.
Sable
RecessiveSable 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.
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.
What makes a Ice Storm
- Two copies of Axanthic — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Sable — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Caramel — 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 (coming soon).
