The genetics
Albino
RecessiveAlbino is a recessive, amelanistic mutation in which melanin is absent entirely. The normal blotched pattern stays visible but loses all black pigment, leaving red, orange, or yellow tones with red eyes.
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.
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.
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 Lavender Snow Anaconda
- Two copies of Albino — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Axanthic — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Lavender — 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 (coming soon).
