This morph's genetics are pending breeder review and may be refined.

The genetics

Axanthic

Recessive

Axanthic is a recessive mutation that removes yellow (xanthin) pigment while leaving melanin intact. The result is a gray, black, and white snake that keeps its normal pattern and dark eyes but loses all warm coloration.

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.

Pink Pastel Albino

Recessive

Pink Pastel Albino is a recessive, tyrosinase-positive (T+) form of albino, distinct from Lavender, producing a pink-to-red toned snake.

What makes a Wendigo

  • Two copies of Axanthic — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
  • Two copies of Hypo — recessive, so it only shows when paired up.
  • Two copies of Pink Pastel Albino — 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).
