Description

The Big Black Conda is a hognose snake combining the Sable, Arctic and Anaconda morphs. This combination produces the brown Sable colouration, with darker borders around the saddles and visible ‘eyebrows’. In younger snakes, Arctic gives a lighter colouration with more reddish and greenish hues. As the snake ages, it darkens and the saddles turn black. The Anaconda morph additionally results in a largely absent dorsal pattern on this snake.
