The genetics
Swiss Chocolate
RecessiveSwiss Chocolate is a recessive, hypermelanistic mutation that increases melanin production, concentrated most heavily on the head. Hatchlings are born dark and stay that way, producing a rich chocolate-brown snake — similar to Sable but darker and warmer in tone.
Lavender
RecessiveLavender is a recessive, tyrosinase-positive (T+) form of albino. It produces a soft gray-lavender body with a purple tongue and eyes; hatchlings often carry a reddish tint that fades to lavender-gray with age.
What makes a Lavender Chocolate
- Two copies of Swiss Chocolate — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Lavender — 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).
