Hypo Pastel Ball Python

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

Hypo
recessive
Reduced black pigment, giving a washed or hazy appearance.
Pastel
co-dominant
Brighter yellows, faded pattern, and lighter head. Two copies give a paler animal still.

How one is made

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