Nemesis
Includes Frost, which is currently under review by the hognose community. It's in the Public Morph Guide so you can browse it — the look is real and well documented; how it inherits is still being worked out.
The genetics
Frost
Recessive — an animal must inherit two copies for it to show visually. A single copy is a hidden 'het' carrier.
This gene is currently under review by the hognose community.
Hypo
(Evans/Dutch Hypo) — Hypo is a recessive, true hypomelanistic mutation that reduces rather than eliminates melanin. Dorsal blotches come out brighter and more saturated — often orange instead of brown — while the dark eyes are retained.
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.
Anaconda
Anaconda, 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 Caramel Superarctic Anaconda
- Two copies of Frost — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Hypo — 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.
