Hypomelanistic Striped California Kingsnake
One animal carrying both genes. Each one is inherited separately, so this combination is made by bringing them together rather than being a gene of its own.
The two genes
- Striped
- recessive
- A continuous pale stripe down the back in place of the usual bands. Unlike most pattern differences in snakes, this one is carried by a single gene.
How one is made
Both genes have to come together in the same animal. The pairing that does it most directly is Hypomelanistic × Striped, which works out every outcome and its odds.
