Buf

Gene

Buf is a dominant corn snake color gene that removes most true red, leaving orange, yellow, tan and brown tones, so one copy shows. Its look varies a lot and can be hard to see in young snakes. A reported Buf-by-Toffee trial did not settle whether the two names identify the same gene.

How Buf works

One copy is enough to show Buf; one and two copies look the same.

One copy shows, and no visible difference between one and two copies is reported. Breeding trials have not shown whether Buf and the similar Toffee are different genes.

Class
Dominant

Where sources disagree

Buf and Toffee look much alike. A reported Buf-by-Toffee trial did not settle whether they are one gene or two.
