Caramel is a recessive mutation.
While the word photophobia literally translates to a "fear of light”. Its not actually that you are scared of light, but instead, are incredibly sensitive to it. Animals with albinism experience photophobia due to the lack of pigment in the iris, which does not allow the eyes to filter out light.
A few breeders in Indonesia, Europe and the US are working with this mutation. [1]
The Caramel Reticulated Python is similar to other “Caramel” mutations. Golds, yellows and purple make up the color of this snake. [2]
Indo Caramel Albino(suspected)
The Bali Zoo, Stan Chiras, Al and Cindy Baldogo and Bob Clark have all produced hets.
It is still uncertain as to whether the different lines are the same mutation. [3]
