Western Hognose
Morphs
Here is an overview of the Hognose morphs I am
currently working with…
GREENS
A line bred trait formed from
breeding the best greens to each
other over time.
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.
AXANTHIC
Axanthics are a recessive mutation
that lack the yellow colour, making
them grey, black and white, and in
some cases silvery looking.
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 recessive
Hypo gene 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.
LAVENDER
As the name states, a lavender
coloured snake.
This is a recessive gene.
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.
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 crisp 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.
PISTACHIO ANACONDA
A double visual morph, made up of
Anaconda and Pistachio, this is
nicknamed a ‘Green Goblin’.
PISTACHIO
TOFFEEBELLY
A visual combo of Pistachio and
Toffeebelly, nicknamed a ‘Pistoffy’.
PISTACHIO ALBINO
A double visual of Pistachio and
Albino.
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.
ALBINO FROSTED
A triple visual consisting of Albino,
Caramel and Hypo.
FROSTED ANACONDA
A triple combo made up of Caramel,
Hypo and Anaconda.
Sometimes referred to as
‘Frappuccino’.
SUPER ARCTIC SABLE
This is a combination of the recessive
Sable gene and the super form of the
Arctic gene.
LAVENDER ANACONDA
A double visual combo made up from
the co-dominant Anaconda gene and
the recessive Lavender gene.
ALBINO FROSTED
SUPERCONDA
A pink coloured combo made up of
Albino, Caramel, Hypo and
Superconda.
ALBINO P-TYPE JAGUAR
A combination of the dominant P-
Type Jaguar gene and the recessive
albino gene resulting in a reduced
patterned albino.
AXANTHIC ANACONDA
Often referred to as the
‘Axanthiconda’.
This is the result of combining the
Axanthic gene with the Anaconda.
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 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.
ARCTIC ALBINO
ANACONDA
The ‘Triple A’. A 3 gene visual involving
the recessive Albino gene along with
the Arctic and Anaconda co-dom
genes.
ARCTIC ALBINO
SUPERCONDA
Adding the Superconda to the mix, it
creates a patternless Albino combined
with the Arctic gene.
ARCTIC LAVENDER
A double visual of the Arctic and
Lavender genes. Also know as a
'Moon Dust'.
ARCTIC SUNBURST
An extremely bright combo consisting
of Arctic, Albino and Sable.
ARCTIC SABLE
AKA the ‘Black Ice’. This combination is
made up of both the Arctic and Sable
genes.
ARCTIC SABLE
ANACONDA
A combination of Arctic, Sable and
Anaconda.
ARCTIC TOXIC
A combination of Arctic, Axanthic and
Toffeebelly sometimes referred to as
a 'Purple Ice'.
FROSTED SUPERCONDA
A visual of the super form of
Anaconda combined with the
recessive genes of Caramel and Hypo.
MAI TAI ANACONDA
This is a triple visual of the Anaconda,
Sable and Toffeebelly genes.
MAI TAI SUPERCONDA
A combination of the Sable,
Toffeebelly and super form of the
Anaconda gene.
(AKA Candy Cocktail)
NORMAL
The wildtype colouration of the
Western Hognose Snake.
This can be quite variable, showing
browns, reds, greens and yellow
colourings.
Sometimes referred to as Classic,
Normal or Wild Type.
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.
PINK PASTEL ALBINO
Another variant of the recessive
Albino mutations, the dark pigment is
replaced with a pink colouring
giving it the name Pastel Pink.
P-TYPE JAGUAR
A dominant gene which affects the
snakes patterning. This creates an
aberrant and jaguar type
spotting/markings.
REDS
A normal variant which has been bred
to create the reddest combinations.
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.
SNOW
The visual double recessive mutation
of Axanthic and T-Albino.
This results in a pink and white snake
with red eyes.
SNOW ANACONDA
This is the triple visual of the Albino,
Axanthic and Anaconda.
Nicknamed the ‘Yeti’.
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’.
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’.
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
LEUCISTIC ALBINO
When told the Leucistic gene was a
dead end gene, I made it a personal
goal to disprove that myth and
hatched a translucent snake with a
white pixelated look and solid red
eyes. This combo consists of the
super form of Arctic and the recessive
genes of Albino and Leucistic. This
World's First was hatched here in my
collection.
SUPER ARCTIC
ANACONDA
This is a combination of the Anaconda
gene and the super form of the Arctic
morph.
SUPER ARCTIC
LEUCISTIC
With the super form of Arctic being
present in this Leucistic combination,
it results in a pink translucent snake
with a white pixelation look to the
scales and solid black eyes.
TOFFEEGLOW
The visual double recessive mutation
T-Albino and Toffeebelly, resulting in
an enhanced coloured Albino.
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.
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.
TOFFEECONDA
A double visual of the Toffeebelly and
Anaconda genes.
Creating a reduced patterned
Toffeebelly.
TOXIC
The visual double recessive mutation
of the Axanthic and Toffeebelly.
This results in a washed out purple
and white snake.
ULTRAMEL
SUPERCONDA
A world’s first combo for me,
combining Albino, Caramel and the
super form of the Anaconda gene.
TOFFEEBELLY
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.
SUPER ARCTIC SABLE
ANACONDA
A powerhouse combo made up of the
Anaconda, Sable and super form of
Arctic.
SUPER ARCTIC
SUPERCONDA
As in the name, this combination is a
mix of both the super form of the
Arctic and the Anaconda.
SUPER ARCTIC
TOFFEEBELLY
The 'Pink Punch' combo is made up of
the super form of the Arctic joined
with the recessive Toffeebelly morph.
SUPER ARCTIC
TOFFEEBELLY
ANACONDA
A combination that results in a
reduced pattern with deep purples or
pinks being present.
This morph is made up of the super
form of Arctic, recessive Toffeebelly
and co-dom Anaconda gene.
SWISS CHOCOLATE
A melanistic recessive gene which
compliments other genes by making
them look much bolder in
colouration.
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.
TOXIC ANACONDA
A triple visual of the Anaconda,
Axanthic and Toffeebelly.
TOXIC SUPERCONDA
The super form of Anaconda
combined with the recessive Axanthic
and Toffeebelly genes.
ULTRAMEL ANACONDA
A triple combo made up of Caramel,
Albino and Anaconda.
DIABLO
This mutation affects the eye colour. It
turns either one or both eyes solid
black. There does not seem to be a
simple answer of why this happens,
but it does occur.
FROSTED DIABLO
SUPERCONDA
A Frosted Superconda with a solid
black eye.

SOON
LEUCISTIC
As hatchlings they are a white snake
with a pink(ish) look, but as adults
they are a solid white colour. In my
opinion, they are the ‘Holy Grail' of
Western Hognose Morphs.
MAI TAI
The visual double recessive mutation
of the Sable and Toffeebelly.
MAI TAI ANACONDA
This is a triple visual of the Anaconda,
Sable and Toffeebelly genes.
