Component genes
This morph's genetics are pending breeder review and may be refined.
The genetics
Sable
RecessiveSable is a recessive mutation that increases melanin production, producing a darker, richer brown snake than normal. It's often bred into lighter morphs like Albino specifically to deepen contrast. They typically have 2 clear scales under their chin, creating a heart shape.
Hypo
Recessive(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.
What makes a Oxide
- Two copies of Sable — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Hypo — 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).
