New Arrival - Anery Tessera! |
 |
 |
 |
|
It's always fun to open up new packages, and this one was no exception! We were lucky enough to get our hands on a gorgeous anery tessera boy!
He will be named Erebus, to contrast with Helios, our sunkissed tessera boy. He has some cool hets too, so he should be producing some really nice babies in the years to come!
Here he is, straight out of the box in my office! More pictures coming soon....and yeah, I know I ALWAYS say that. |

Sunkissed Tessera Corn Snake - one year later |

I can hardly believe Helios is a year old! I still remember the day he hatched out, and how I didn't even know what he was at first. I am pleased with how big he's gotten over the last year and I can't wait to see him fully grown! Click the photos to enlarge

Weird little Tessera Baby... |
|
|
|
|
This little guy was quite a surprise! We bred our tessera boy, Stag, to a normal female who is het for amel. We hatched out 4 "striped tesseras". I'm not exactly sure what's going on here, but I believe either the stripe or motley gene is at play...this animal being homozygous for stripe or motley, as well as being a tessera. He shows the typical tessera dorsal stripe, but has no pattern on his sides, and a clear belly. His colors also show the typical "hypo-ish" appearance of an animal that is homozygous for stripe / motley.
In the same clutch, we also hatched a handful of "regular" tesseras with some weird bellies and unusually perfect dorsal striping (remaining pics) a motley (?) and some normals. I am constantly amazed at the unusual ways the tessera trait interacts with other traits to produce amazing results. We will likely keep at least a few of these oddballs to continue to experiment with this line!
Some of the babies in this clutch will be available around the end of August, 2011.

This girl shed today....and all I can say is WOW! I'm always intrigued by what the sunkissed trait does to the pattern of the tessera....and this girl is no exception! |
