is this a snow tiger?

I'm not sure but that is pretty awesome. Does anyone know of a site where hognose morphs are explained? Sorry I don't have any info for you though.

not sure but the history of that guy could help. did you produce it? was it wild caught? if i had to guess it looks like what i expect a hypo snow might look like. very cool no matter what it is though congrats.

This one popped out from a random breeding in Alabama last year. Unfortunately in this case, to reveal genetics, we will have to work backwards by breeding this animal with a sibling or parent. The snow gene is double recessive,(albino x anery).If it is truly a snow, some of the offspring would hatch albino, normal, and anery. This would tell us if it's truly a snow. I think it is probably a new mutation maybe a lavender albino, but I don't think that the breeder has named it. The pattern it carries may or may not be genetic, many banded reds and albinos have also popped up randomly in many collections, few being genetic.

Excellent topic.

The snake seems to be a red-eyed, vanishing pattern lavender western hognose. I have seen the snake. It is really interesting. Whether or not it genetic remains to be seen.
