The genetics
Albino
RecessiveAlbino is a recessive, amelanistic mutation in which melanin is absent entirely. The normal blotched pattern stays visible but loses all black pigment, leaving red, orange, or yellow tones with red eyes.
Swiss Chocolate
RecessiveSwiss Chocolate is a recessive, hypermelanistic mutation that increases melanin production, concentrated most heavily on the head. Hatchlings are born dark and stay that way, producing a rich chocolate-brown snake — similar to Sable but darker and warmer in tone.
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 Tangerine Anaconda
- Two copies of Albino — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- Two copies of Swiss Chocolate — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
- One copy of Anaconda — the single-gene 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).
