Specter

Pistachio 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.

Arctic is an incomplete-dominant gene that tends to brighten, clean up, and cool the overall appearance of a Western Hognose. Arctic animals often show a lighter base color, sharper contrast, cleaner pattern, brighter coloration, white outlines around pattern elements, and speckling/flecking compared to non-Arctic animals.
