The genetics
Lavender
Lavender 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.
Arctic x2
Superarctic is the two-copy (super) form of the Arctic gene — not a separate gene. It produces a stronger, more dramatic expression of the Arctic look: brighter, cleaner, often with very strong black-and-white contrast. It occurs when a hognose inherits Arctic from both parents.
What makes a Moonstone
- Two copies of Lavender — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Arctic — the 'Superarctic' super form.
This describes the genetics of the animal itself — not the odds from a pairing. Outcome odds are the Genetics Calculator's job.
