Description

Caramel Anaconda is a combination of the recessive Caramel mutation and the heterozygous incomplete dominant Anaconda mutation. The Caramel mutation creates caramel-like tones without visible black markings. The eyes and tongue have a ruby-pink colour. A recognisable trait of Caramel is the reduced head and neck pattern, making this mutation easy to identify. The belly pattern is usually almost completely absent, with a light ivory-cream colour. The Anaconda mutation creates a more open pattern, with fewer markings along the body and more visible background colour.
