Component genes
This morph's genetics are pending breeder review and may be refined.
The genetics
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.
Arctic x2
Incomplete DominantSuperarctic 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.
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 Nemesis
- Two copies of Caramel — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- One copy of Anaconda — the single-gene form.
- 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 (coming soon).
