Joanie Stubbs X Cy Tolliver
2 Attachment(s)
Joanie is a Honey Tessera homo or het for motley and Cy Tolliver is a Diffused Sunkissed. Expected are Sunkissed Motley Tesseras, Sunkissed Motleys, Sunkissed Tesseras and Sunkissed. Joanie laid a nice clutch of huge eggs, two slugs on 5/13/2020. Not bad for a first time breeding!

All babies are out of the egg! All are sunkissed and there are obvious tessera, but what is with the spotted stuff? In researching, all I have been able to find is sunspot, but that is a type of stripe, right? This clutch is a honey tessera het or homo for motley crossed with a diffused sunkissed het for motley. Thoughts?

I am not an expert at all, but those look like sunkissed stripes to me. Since stripe is recessive to motley, I wonder if your visual motley is actually het motley het stripe.

It was suggested in another forum that the male is actually a motley sunkissed versus a diffused sunkissed het for motley (as he was sold to me). If both are homo for motley, could those striped looking hatchlings be a variant of motley? The two sunkissed looking hatchlings have almost no (but some) belly pattern. This one has me stumped and any assistance is appreciated! Thank you, -Tonya |
No, to get the stripes, and that one baby is *definitely* a sunkissed stripe, both parents would have to be motley-stripes genetically. Every single baby in this photo appears to be homozygous motley. Sunkissed is weird and will sometimes cause some checkers to remain even in a motley individual.

This has been the most fun clutch this year! Here are a few holdbacks.

The sk stripe looks great!

Love them! Really like the last two in particular.
