Description

Pink Punch is a combination of the recessive toffeebelly mutation and the homozygous incomplete dominant superarctic mutation. This combination is known for its brown to purplish tones and solid dark red eyes. Hatchlings are generally darker when they emerge and gradually become lighter in colour after successive sheds. The superarctic mutation influences both the background colour and the pattern, creating noticeable contrast between different colour areas. The influence of the toffeebelly mutation remains visible through warm golden brown, pinkish and purple hues.
