As you can read in the chapter about genetics, there are recessive genes that - if they occur homozygously - lead to absence, reduction or overrun of one or several of the pigments. We say this because when we bred this recessive mutation into our Green House Snakes (which took over four years to do) it resulted in a diluted Green House Snake (the result of hypomelanism), which we have called a Hypo Green House Snake (as can been seen in the pictures).
