Hypomelanistic Lavender Common 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

Hypomelanistic
recessive
Reduced rather than absent black, giving a softer, browner animal that keeps its pattern.
Lavender
recessive
Grey-purple in place of black, over a white or cream ground.

How one is made

Both genes have to come together in the same animal. The pairing that does it most directly is Hypomelanistic × Lavender, which works out every outcome and its odds.
