The trademark upturned snout is built for digging, so it’s normal to see them vanish under the surface for long stretches before popping up to explore.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis animal is listed as double het Lavender and Albino. “Het” (heterozygous) refers to recessive genes carried but not visually expressed, so the snake will look like a normal-coloured animal unless other visible traits are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhere it matters is future breeding: pairing decisions can be made to potentially produce Lavender, Albino, or combined outcomes depending on the mate’s genetics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":53270705340753,"sku":"double-het-lavender-albino-hognose - 001","price":191.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Normal-66-Het-Lavender-and-Albino-Hognose_2.jpg?v=1773248311","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/double-het-lavender-albino-hognose","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
