With which morphs are we breeding

Reptifit keeps itself bussy with breeding of differents morphs of the western hognose snake (Heterodon nasicus nasicus). Currently we have the following morphs or combinations of these morphs in our collection:

Albino
Arctic
Anaconda
Axanthic
Superarctic
Superconda
Toffeebelly

Albino

Hognose - Albino
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 Arctic Anaconda

Hognose - Albino Arctic Anaconda
Albino Arctic Anaconda
Albino Arctic Anaconda is a combination of the recessive Albino mutation, the heterozygous incomplete dominant Arctic mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant Anaconda mutation.
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.

Arctic
Arctic is an heterozygous incomplete dominant mutation. Arctics get lighter with every shed. When you breed two arctics with eachother, you will get the homozygous incomplete dominant superarctic morph. Superarctic stimulates melanin and reduces other pigments, specifically the background pigment.
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.

Axanthicconda

Hognose - Axanthicconda (Axanthic Anaconda)
Axanthicconda (Axanthic Anaconda)
Axanthicconda is a combination of the recessive axanthic mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation. The axanthic mutation makes the color and the anaconda mutation makes the pattern.
Axanthic

Axanthic is a recessive mutation with a lack of red and yellow pigmentation. The snakes have shades of white, grey and black. The belly of the axanthic also misses the yellow, red or orange pigmentation.

Axanthic superconda

Hognose - Axanthic Superconda
Axanthic Superconda
Axanthic Superconda is a combination of the recessive axanthic mutation and the homozygous incomplete dominant superconda mutation. The axanthic mutation makes the color and the superconda mutation makes the pattern.
Axanthic

Axanthic is a recessive mutation with a lack of red and yellow pigmentation. The snakes have shades of white, grey and black. The belly of the axanthic also misses the yellow, red or orange pigmentation.

Superconda
Superconda is a homozygous incomplete dominant mutation in the pattern of the snake. This mutation is recognised by the patternless dorsal and can have a stripe from the head. When you breed two anacondas with eachother, you will get the homozygous incomplete dominant superconda morph.

Toffeebelly

Hognose snake - Toffeebelly
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

Hognose - Toffeeconda (Toffeebelly Anaconda)
Toffeeconda (Toffeebelly Anaconda)
Toffeeconda is a combination of the recessive toffeebelly mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation. The toffeebelly mutation makes the color and the anaconda mutation makes the pattern.

Candy

Hognose snake - Candy (Toffeebelly Superconda)
Candy (Toffeebelly Superconda)
Candy is a combination of the recessive toffeebally mutation and the homozygous incomplete dominant superconda mutation. The toffeebelly mutation makes the color and the superconda mutation makes the pattern.

Grey Fog

Hognose - Grey Fog (Arctic Anaconda)
Grey Fog (Arctic Anaconda)

Grey Fog is a combination of the heterozygous incomplete dominant arctic mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant anaconda mutation.

Arctic
Arctic is an heterozygous incomplete dominant mutation. Arctics get lighter with every shed. When you breed two arctics with eachother, you will get the homozygous incomplete dominant superarctic morph. Superarctic stimulates melanin and reduces other pigments, specifically the background pigment.

Platinum

Hognose snake - Platinum (Arctic Superconda)
Platinum (Arctic Superconda)
Platinum is a combination of the heterozygous incomplete dominant arctic mutation and the homozygous incomplete dominant superconda mutation. This combination often has a stripe on the back.
Arctic
Arctic is an heterozygous incomplete dominant mutation. Arctics get lighter with every shed. When you breed two arctics with eachother, you will get the homozygous incomplete dominant superarctic morph. Superarctic stimulates melanin and reduces other pigments, specifically the background pigment.
Superconda
Superconda is a homozygous incomplete dominant mutation in the pattern of the snake. This mutation is recognised by the patternless dorsal and can have a stripe from the head. When you breed two anacondas with eachother, you will get the homozygous incomplete dominant superconda morph.

Superarctic

Hognose - Superarctic
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 recognized 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.
