Baby Pics: Strawberry Plasma x Buf Tessera

So these little buggers are proving much more difficult to tell apart than their siblings from earlier this summer. One thing is certain: we proved Charlie is indeed het Amel.

The pairing was Strawberry Plasma het Topaz phet (now proven) Amel x Buf Tessera het Amel. I'll update this thread eventually with whatever we think they actually are. For now feel free to make guesses! :shrugs:

Hi!

Are you sure that it is Buf? They ALL look like Buf/Orange to me!!

The lighter ones i think it is because of the gender and influence of Masque. Many of them has modificated head patterns typically for Masque. I also made the experience with my Toffees last year that the ones with clean splitbelly and visibly changed headparttern are slightly lighter than the ones without a splitbelly.
As Toffee looks very similar to Buf a lot of people think that is maybe the same. Difference is just that Toffee is dominant.
Maybe you got a hom. Toffee Tessera sitting there and not a Buf?

After 3 or 4 sheds you can see definetly if there is Toffee involved or just very yellowish normals....From the genetic point of view there should be no Buf hatchlings but the amels are way to orange colored and look more like Auratum to me.... also the eyes of the non amels are more brown like toffee...

I am quite interested how the look like after 3 or 4 sheds!

Anyway some of them are very nice!! I like 17-5J !! very nice clean tessera pattern with a nice headparttern especially the Nose is very cool ;-))
That would be my holdback!

Sorry i just checked that Buf is also dominant.
So could be that your buftessera is him for Buf.

Fantastic pictures and the snake are beautiful

Part of my problem was relying too much on the photos at the time, which are not quite color accurate. They've become much more obvious now. We'll get new photos at some point with the new camera body, which picks up reds quite a bit better than its predecessor.

5J is indeed exceptional among the group and is my chosen holdback.
