Western Hognose

Adding more

Heterodon nasicus

Small, charismatic, and quickly building a morph market of its own. Early days for this list — more on the way.

Recessive3

Needs two copies to show. One copy is a hidden 'het' carrier — visually normal, but it passes the gene on.

No black — peach, pink and yellow tones.

No yellow pigment — a clean grey-scale hognose.

Muted lilac-grey ground colour.

Shows with one copy, and shows differently with two (the 'super' form). Commonly — if loosely — called 'co-dom' in the hobby.

Pattern reduction; the super (Superconda) is nearly patternless.

Super form: Superconda

High-contrast greyscale that intensifies in the super.

Super form: Super Arctic
