*The Origin of the Albino Hognose Snake*

The Albino (Amelanistic) Hognose morph was established in the pet trade through selective breeding of individuals exhibiting a recessive genetic mutation. This trait, likely first observed in wild populations, was isolated and stabilized by breeders. The gene responsible disrupts the production of melanin, the pigment for black and brown colors. This results in a snake with vibrant yellow, orange, and red patterns on a light background, and characteristic pinkish-red eyes. Through dedicated breeding projects, this morph was successfully combined with others, creating a lineage of albino hognoses that are now popular and widely available in the reptile community.
