Part 3: Incomplete Dominant Morphs
This will be a pretty short section, as there aren’t too many incomplete dominant morphs out there for hognoses. I will be omitting Green Hypo and it’s super form (watermelon) as I can find next to no information on the gene. There is also Woodruff Hypo, which I have found pictures of, but I can’t find much solid information on what’s going on with that particular morph.
Anaconda | Superconda (Super Anaconda)

Anaconda is my favorite incomplete dominant morph, and it’s very popular with others as well. Anaconda is characterized by large, blotched, and a reduced number of saddles. Extreme forms of anaconda can have striping. Two counts of anaconda creates the Superconda. The superconda is an almost patternless snake with a dark dorsal stripe. Some breeders are working on enhancing the stripe as well.
Arctic (JMG Axanthic) | Super Arctic
Arctic is a form of axanthic. They are generally shades of grey, though they do have a bit of brown peeking through. The Super Arctic begins as an almost pure black snake that, after several sheds, lightens to a black and grey snake with “frosted” saddles and black eyes.
