Why is he changing colour?

The picture doesn't really do it justice but I have just a regular little male and out of no where has turned green. What would have caused this? Does this mean that he's not a regular? I've just never heard of developing a drastic colour change at a year old.

I am pretty sure it normal. I think that's how they got the nickname "condas". I could be wrong though not a 100% sure.

Your hog is a normal. It looks like he is a "green phase". Green phase is not a morph, just a line bred trait. My guess is that one or both of its parents were green phases.

"Conda" is the nickname for the Anaconda morph, a co-dominant morph. This hog is not a conda.

Ok so Conda is a pattern morph?
