🐍 About Western Hognose Morphs

Western hognose snakes (Heterodon nasicus) are popular in the reptile hobby due to their docile nature and incredible variety of morphs. Understanding genetics is crucial for successful breeding programs and predicting offspring outcomes.

🧬 Genetic Inheritance Patterns

  • 🔬 Recessive Genes: Both parents must carry the gene for visual offspring
  • 👥 Heterozygous (Het): Carries one copy of the gene, appears normal
  • 🎨 Homozygous (Visual): Carries two copies, displays the morph
  • 🧮 Probability: Het x Het = 25% visual, 50% het, 25% normal
