Component genes
This morph's genetics are pending breeder review and may be refined.
The genetics
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.
Pistachio
RecessivePistachio is a recessive mutation producing a muted olive-to-light ground color with reduced pattern contrast, so the dorsal blotches read softer and less sharply defined. The belly typically takes on a smoky purple tone, and hatchlings may start out with more contrast before it softens with age.
What makes a Pistachio Hypo
- Two copies of Hypo — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Pistachio — 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).
