Absence of melanin leading to bright reds/oranges

Recessive: Requires two copies to express

Anerythristic, or Anery, is a color mutation in reptiles that results in a lack of red or orange pigmentation.

Recessive: Requires two copies to express

Subtle brown tone differences; perhaps reduced orange / yellow in pattern; sometimes noticeable white on tail at hatch; affects coloration and pattern intensity.

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Intensifies orange/pink/red hues. Often shows best in combos.

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Cleaner pattern and enhanced orange tones

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

High contrast between black/dark tones and orange; minimal white; a specific color combo trait.

Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.

Reduction of dark pigments; orange enhancement

Recessive: Requires two copies to express

Bright orange/caramel tones, similar in look to Ultramel.

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Orange is a color trait—a visible characteristic (phenotype) based on pigmentation, such as feather color, scale color, or fur.

Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.

Enhances orange tones and cleans pattern

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Combination of hypomelanism and albino, leading to vibrant yellow or orange colors.

Co-Dominant: One copy is visibly expressed. Two copies produce a distinct "super" form, which differs from gene to gene — see the individual gene for what its super looks like.

Three distinct colors appearing; commonly combinations like red/orange, white, and another darker tone.

Line bred colour trait: A line-bred color trait refers to a specific color characteristic in animals that is maintained or intensified through line breeding.
