While I may not be quite together on all the terminology, my understanding is this:



The anaconda gene is co-dominant, meaning a snake that we would usually think of as het for a trait (i.e., only carrying one copy of the gene) exhibits the "anaconda" reduced patterning.



Superconda refers to a hog carrying two copies of the gene. I'm unsure if the het and homo forms of a co-dom trait are always different.



(In fact I don't know of another trait like this offhand--I think "Ultra" in cornsnakes is.)



http://www.superconda.com/ talks about where the trait came from and all.
