With which morphs are we breeding
Reptifit keeps itself bussy with breeding of differents morphs of the western hognose snake (Heterodon nasicus nasicus). On this page you can find the mutations we currently keep. Below this text, you can click on one or more buttons with their adequate mutations. If the button turns orange, the corresponding filter is active. Theoretically, all combinations are possible. Unfortunately, we do not own all those combinations.
Normal
Anaconda
Anaconda is an heterozygous incomplete dominant mutation in the pattern of the snake. Many blotches connect with eachother and the side-pattern disappears. The belly has a solid black color, with sometimes an exception at which there are speckles with white borders around them.
When you breed two anacondas with eachother, you will get the homozygous incomplete dominant superconda morph. The superconda morph is recognised with the patternless dorsal and a black belly.
Superconda
Grey Fog (Arctic Anaconda)
Grey Fog is a combination of the heterozygous incomplete dominant arctic mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation.

Platinum (Arctic Superconda)

Superconda
Superarctic
Superarctic is an homozygous incomplete dominant mutation in the pattern and color of the snake. Superarctic stimulates melanin and reduces other pigments, specifically the background pigment. The mutation is recognised by its white background with pink or tan skin and brown to gray blotches with big concentrations of melanin. Superarctics have a reduced head pattern. With each shed they become lighter in color. When they get out of the eggs, they look nearly fully black. After a couple of sheds they look as in the picture. When you breed two heterozygous incomplete dominant arctic snakes, you will get the superarctic morph.
Superarctic Anaconda
Superarctic Anaconda is a combination of the homozygous incomplete dominant superarctic mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation. This combination often has arranged dots on the back, but there can also be a considerable amount of lack in pattern. Since this combination contains the superarctic morph the colour changes drastically with the first couple of sheds.

Superarctic Superconda
Superarctic Superconda is a combination of the homozygous incomplete dominant superarctic mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant superconda mutation. This combination often has a full stripe or absolutely no pattern on the back. Since this combination contains the superarctic morph the colour changes drastically with the first couple of sheds. They change from all black hatchlings to white snakes with black head pattern.

Superartic
Albino
The Albino morph is a recessive mutation and is the most common morph. An albino has a lack of melanin. The lack of melanin makes it that the snake has less brown-black pigmentation and that snake gets a red, orange or yellow color. You can recognise an albino with its red eyes.
Albino Anaconda
Albino Anaconda is a mix of the recessive albino mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation. This combination gives the snake the albino colouration with cleaner/less pattern. The anaconda morph is able the give the snake a lighter and whiter background colour.

Caramel Anaconda
Caramel Anaconda is a combination of the recessive caramel mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation. The caramel mutation makes the color and the anaconda mutation makes the pattern. The caramel anaconda combination is recognised by its reduced head pattern and almost absent and clean ventral pattern.
Caramel
Caramel is a recessive color mutation. Caramel is the cleanest form of T+ albino and displays no black markings. Caramels are creamy colored with pink markings. The eyes and tongue are both ruby pink colored. The belly pattern is almost entirely absent, this makes the belly ivory-cream colored. Caramels also have reduced neck pattern and strong whitewalls on the ventral.
Anaconda
Anaconda is an heterozygous incomplete dominant mutation in the pattern of the snake. Many blotches connect with eachother and the side-pattern disappears. The belly has a solid black color, with sometimes an exception at which there are speckles with white borders around them.
When you breed two anacondas with eachother, you will get the homozygous incomplete dominant superconda morph. The superconda morph is recognised with the patternless dorsal and a black belly.
Sable
Sable is a recessive colour mutation that accelerates melanin production as well as all other chromatophores. The sable gene increasingly gets darker with age, resulting in some eventually turning nearly solid black. Sables show an increased amount of iridescence compared to other morphs. Iridophores are responsible for the reflective qualities and hues.
Black Ice (Sable Arctic)
Black Ice is a combination of the recessive sable mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant arctic mutation. This combination gives the snake the brown sable colouration with darker borders around the saddles and visible eyebrows. With younger snakes the arctic mutation seems to give a more lighter colouration with more reddish and greenish hues. With age the snake will get darker and the saddles will get black.

Toffeebelly
Toffeebelly is a recessive mutation with a lack of melanin (T+ Albino) except in some rare paradox spots. The name “toffeebelly” was chosen because of the toffee colored belly. Toffeebellys often have a light gold-brownish color. However, often there are a lot more shades in clutch. These colors vary from green, red, orange and yellow shades.
Toffeeconda (Toffeebelly Anaconda)

Lavender
Lavender is a recessive color mutation and a T+ form of albino. Lavenders start out as almost red neonates with dark bellies. After two or three sheds, this colour softens as the snake takes on a more pink-lavender like colour. Lavenders have dark ruby eyes. When lavenders are stressed they darken their colour. This has to do with an increased upward flow of melanin towards the melanophores.
Lavender Anaconda
Lavender Anaconda is a combination of the recessive lavender mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation. The lavender mutation makes the colour and the anaconda mutation makes the pattern. The combination of lavender and anaconda makes the snake have less pattern on the upper layer, which makes it possible to see a more faded pattern. Their true colour is incredibly hard to capture on camera.

Leucistic
Leucistic is a recessive mutation. Leucistics do not have any pigmentation, expect in their eyes. This makes it that the snake has no pattern, is white coloured and has black or blue coloured eyes. In combinations it is only possible to change the eye colour and not their scale colour. This is done by making combinations with other mutations, like albino or caramel.
Pistachio
Pistachio is a recessive colour mutation and a T+ albino form. This mutation affects the ventral and dorsal colouration. It has green hues. Their background colour is a clean, light khaki with greenish to mustard brown-yellow colour and has no visible black. Some pistachios have orange coloured ventral markings. They a have dark lavender coloured belly with yellow patches.
Yeti (Snow Anaconda)
Yeti is a combination of the recessive albino mutation, the recessive axanthic mutation, and the homozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation. The albino and axanthic mutations make the white base colour and pink/grey pattern colour. The anaconda mutation makes makes the pattern.

Super Yeti is a combination of the recessive albino mutation, the recessive axanthic mutation, and the homozygous incomplete dominant superconda mutation. The albino and axanthic mutations make the white base colour and pink/grey pattern colour. The superconda mutation makes it so that there is no dorsal pattern.
