Amelanistic Hypomelanistic Eastern Milksnake
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
- Black reduced rather than absent, so the bands soften to grey and the reds brighten.
How one is made
Both genes have to come together in the same animal. The pairing that does it most directly is Amelanistic × Hypomelanistic, which works out every outcome and its odds.
