Western Hognose
Morphs
Here is an overview of the
Hognose morphs I am currently
working with…
REDS
A normal variant which has been bred
to create the reddest combinations.
GREENS
A line bred trait formed from
breeding the best greens to each
other over time.
NORMAL
The wildtype colouration of the
Western Hognose Snake.
This can be quite variable, showing
browns, reds, greens and yellow
colourings.
ALBINO ANACONDA
A visual mutation of the Albino and
Anaconda genes.
ALBINO
This is a recessive mutation and is
also known as Amelanistic or T-Albino.
There are variants such as extreme
reds, reds, oranges and yellow
albinos.
ANACONDA
This is a co-dominant gene that
causes a reduction in pattern and a
solid black belly with a white WALLED
outline.
When 2 ‘condas’ are bred together
they can produce a Superconda,
which has a patternless body.
ARCTIC
Also known as ‘JMG Axanthic’, this is a
co-dominant morph.
Breed 2 Arctics and produce a breath
taking super form.
SNOW
The visual double recessive mutation
of Axanthic and T-Albino.
This results in a pink and white snake
with red eyes.
AXANTHIC
Axanthics are a recessive mutation
that lack the yellow colour, making
them grey, black and white, and in
some cases silvery looking.
TOFFEEGLOW
The visual double recessive mutation
T-Albino and Toffeebelly, resulting in
an enhanced coloured Albino.
FROSTED HYPO
The visual double recessive combo of
the Caramel Albino and the Dutch
Hypo.
EVANS / DUTCH HYPO
A Hypomelanistic gene which removes
the dark pigments from the
colouration.
CARAMEL ALBINO
This is also known as a T+Albino. This
variation of Albino can easily be
recognised by its brilliant white belly
and caramel colouring.
This is also a recessive mutation.
HYPO SUPERCONDA
This morph is made up of the super
form of the Anaconda and Hypo
resulting in a stunning patternless
snake with a peach like colour.
ALBINO SUPERCONDA
This morph is made up of the super
form of Anaconda and the Albino
resulting in a stunning patternless
snake with the Albino colouration.
SUPERCONDA
This is a super form of the co-
dominant Anaconda gene resulting in
a patternless body. The head is
‘normally’ the only part with a pattern.
LAVENDER
As the name states, a lavender
coloured snake.
This is a recessive gene.
ULTRAMEL
This is the visual double recessive
mutation of T-Albino and T+Caramel
Albino. Resulting in a red eyed
caramel albino which looks more
enhanced in colour.
JAGUAR
A dominant gene which affects the
snakes patterning. This creates an
aberrant and jaguar type
spotting/markings.
PINK PASTEL
ANACONDA
A combination of Pink Pastel Albino
(recessive) and Anaconda (co-dom).
These are also known as ‘Pink
Panthers’.
PARADOX ALBINO
The paradox gene in Hognoses acts
like a chimera, where it splits two
colour mutations on the appearance
of one animal. in this case adding
black spots to the albino colour.
Believed to be non genetic, but a nice
trophy animal for any collection.
PISTACHIO
A recessive gene with bright
colouration. Possibly a form of hypo?
The black belly colouration is replaced
with a lavender / purple colour.
AXANTHIC ANACONDA
Sometimes referred to as the
‘Axanthiconda’.
This is the result of combining the
Axanthic gene with the Anaconda.
CARAMEL
SUPERCONDA
This combo is made up of the super
form of the Anaconda and the
Caramel Albino (T+).
The result is a creamy coloured snake
with no patterning and reduced head
pattern due to the caramel influence.
TOFFEECONDA
A double visual of the Toffeebelly and
Anaconda genes.
Creating a reduced patterned
Toffeebelly.
SHADOW
A dominant gene which seems to
display large spots on the snakes back
with a grey background.
This gene also can create ‘eyebrow’
type markings on the head.
TOXIC
The visual double recessive mutation
of the Axanthic and Toffeebelly.
This results in a washed out purple
and white snake.
SNOW ANACONDA
This is the triple visual of the Albino,
Axanthic and Anaconda.
Nicknamed the ‘Yeti’.
SUPER ARCTIC ALBINO
As the name states this is the super
form of the Arctic gene with Albino.
This combo turns the colouration to
pink and white.
Also known as the ‘Sub-Zero’.
ARCTIC SUPERCONDA
A triple visual which displays the
super form of the Anaconda along
with the Arctic gene.
Also known as a ‘Platinum’.
ARCTIC ANACONDA
A double visual of the Arctic (JMG
Axanthic) and Anaconda.
nicknamed the ‘Grey Fog’.
AXANTHIC
SUPERCONDA
A combination of Axanthic with the
super form of Anaconda.
A very pretty combo in my opinion.
ULTRAMEL
SUPERCONDA
A world’s first combo for us,
combining Albino, Caramel and the
super form of the Anaconda gene.
SUPER ARCTIC ALBINO
ANACONDA
A 4 gene combo with the Super form
of the Arctic along with Albino and
Anaconda creating a pink and white
snake with reduced markings.
(AKA Bubs Daddy)
SUPER ARCTIC
The super form of Arctic.
A visually black and white animal that
hatches black to begin with and after
each shed turns a crisper black and
white colour.
SABLE
This is a recessive morph which
displays an increase of melanine
creating a dark brown morph.
The dark colouration makes it an
excellent gene to mix into the lighter
morphs, such as Albino to enhance
the Albino’s brightness.
SNOW SUPERCONDA
A double visual of Albino and Axanthic
combined with the super form of the
Anaconda gene creating a patternless
pink snake.
Sometimes called a ‘Super Yeti’.
ARCTIC ALBINO
ANACONDA
The ‘Triple A’. A 3 gene visual involving
the recessive Albino gene along with
the Arctic and Anaconda co-dom
genes.
PISTACHIO ANACONDA
A double visual morph, made up of
Anaconda and Pistachio, this is
nicknamed a ‘Green Goblin’.
SUPER ARCTIC
ANACONDA
This is a combination of the Anaconda
gene and the super form of the Arctic
morph.
PISTACHIO
TOFFEEBELLY
A visual combo of Pistachio and
Toffeebelly, nicknamed a ‘Pistoffy’.
PISTACHIO ALBINO
A double visual of Pistachio and
Albino.
ARCTIC ALBINO
SUPERCONDA
A patternless Albino combined with
the Arctic gene.
FROSTED DIABLO
This combo consists of Caramel, Hypo
and Diablo. The body colour is the
same as a Frosted Hypo but the
animal has a solid black eye.
CARAMEL DIABLO
This is made up of the recessive
Caramel gene and the yet to be
proven Diablo mutation which affects
the eye colour around the pupil, in
this case the eye is completely black.
PISTACHIO
TOFFEEBELLY ALBINO
A triple visual of all 3 colour
mutations.
TOFFEE SUPERCONDA
Nicknamed the ‘Candy’.
This is a combination of Toffeebelly
with the super form of Anaconda.
ULTRAMEL DIABLO
With the Albino gene added to the
Caramel Diablo, it turns the black eye
to a solid red eye.
FROSTED ANACONDA
A triple combo made up of Caramel,
Hypo and Anaconda.
Sometimes referred to as
‘Frappuccino’.
ARCTIC SABLE
Also known as ‘Black Ice’. This
combination is made up of both the
Arctic and Sable genes.
TOFFEEBELLY
A recessive gene that as you might of
guessed, is named after its toffee
coloured belly. It is believed to be a
type of T+Albino which also has the
trait of paradoxing.
PASTEL PINK ALBINO
Another variant of the recessive
Albino mutations, the dark pigment is
replaced with a pink colouring
giving it the name Pastel Pink.
