Facts
Species: Western Hognose
Name of Gene: Citrus
First produced by whom: Reptiles for Centuries
Year First Produced: 2014
Genetics Type (Incdom/Codom/Recessive/Polygenic/etc): Polygenic
Other names/aliases for it?:
**Description:**Back in 2013 we bought a Western Hognose from our local pet store;
from the first initial sighting of the snake we could clearly see that
there was something different but special to her.
When she reached sexual maturity, we decided to pair her up with a
normal Western Hognose male, to reach a better understanding of
what Hognose genes have in store.
As the clutch hatched out each baby carried characteristics/genes of
the female, which gave us a better understanding of what the citrus
gene is. From here on we paired the siblings back to each other and
concluded that the citrus gene is in fact a polygenetic trade. Which
means after each generation bred the quality of the citrus gene only
improves.
Appearance; What it does/looks like?
- Head: Light orange head
- Body: Red / Orange overall pigment
- Belly: Red Checkered belly
- Tail: No
Proven Lines: The gene has been proven out to be genetic in multiple generations.
Related Genes: Purple line is a similar line, however the citrus does differ in color and pattern wise
Proven: The gene has proven out to be polygenic over multiple seasons and generations. With the each individual animal displaying characteristics of the citrus gene.
Unique: The interaction the morph has with different genetics is incredible, it enhances the overall color of the animal.
History: The original female was purchased from an local pet store
