Description

Cinnamon Anaconda is a combination of the dominant Cinnamon mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant Anaconda mutation. This combination is recognised for its brown colouration and the notable head pattern associated with Cinnamon. Young animals often hatch with a darker appearance and gradually develop a lighter brown colour after several sheds. The Cinnamon mutation influences pigmentation and contrast within the pattern. The Anaconda mutation creates a more open pattern with reduced markings along the body. This results in a combination with brown tones, a distinct head pattern and a broken-up body pattern.
