What Fire looks like

Heterozygous Fire morph displaying lighter, washed-out coloration from incomplete dominant melanin reduction. Distinct from polygenic Hypo (H). Single-gene mutation with visible het expression. Also known as Genetic Hypo (het form). Source: The Bugg Plug/Brian Burnett (community.morphmarket.com/t/adding-genetic-hypo-and-blizzard-done/43125).

Incomplete dominant trait reducing melanin and dark pigmentation. Heterozygous animals (Fire) show lighter, washed-out coloration compared to normals. Homozygous animals (Black Eyed Leucistic / Blizzard) display white body with yellow pigment retention and black eyes.

How to identify it: Fire (het) animals appear noticeably lighter and washed out compared to normals. Black Eyed Leucistic / Blizzard (homozygous) animals are white with retained yellow pigment and black eyes.
