I agree...at the same time though, many Tesseras out there are carrying unknown hets. Look at Joe Pierce's his is unknown. Which is awsome! I'd love to know that mine has something going on too! The study and research of it all... I'd have to say is what makes this morph so much fun, don't you?

It would be pretty simple to flush the suspected stripe hets out, then- just use a striped morph for the fancy new creations instead of one with saddles! I have to say, though, I really love the complex side patterns of the Tesseras, and the more defined they are, the better.

I think I'm going to test it myself along with... I'm sure...most of the other 1st-timer Tessera breeders out there.
Everything Tessera I plan to document, I think theres more to Tessera than meets the eye.

Hey Justin,
Back farther up on Don's website did you read:
"Long story short; in 2007, I acquired an intriguing corn snake from Graham Criglow he was mistakenly told was a Striped Okeetee. The three unusual corns Graham purchased appeared to be Striped Motley Okeetees, but the paradox was that the founding mutation was Striped; not Motley. These F2s Graham received were expected to be Striped, since they were produced from Striped x Okeetee corns. In addition, the conspicuous solid black scales in all Tesseras is remarkable, considering that even the slightest presence of black is rare (nearly unique) in Motley types. Graham gave me a male, and I immediately began breeding trials.
This was confirmed by Don today, the grandparents of the first tesseras were a striped corn X okeetee so I guess everyone of the tesseras out there have a chance to be het striped.
It only gets better from here.
John

So the Striped mixed with Okeetee created the Tessera or was the Striped corn origionally a un-named Tessera?
I only ask because I do not understand how a Okeetee (wild type mutation) bred with a recessive trait (Stripe) can produce a dominant trait. Does anyone have pictures of the grandparents that created the F1's which then created the F2's that Graham aquired? I trust all origional parties who started the Tesseras I'm just learning the history, for the science of it

Hopefully Graham will tell the story cause he was the one who bought the originals from another person.

The guy we got the orig animals from sold them as "Striped Okeetees"...he was a florida breeder who is no longer keeping snakes. He's been contacted multiple times to try and fill in more details but he never does/hard to get any replies from him... Don Soderberg contacted him to try and get the complete history (or his version) for the new upcoming cornsnake book but the guy blew hhim off- claimed he threw his harddrive into a lake... ???? strange huh? I think Don's version of thier history on his website tells about everything we know...
Anyways, he did send up pics-- that was years ago. I lost them in a computer crash. They were small fuzzy pics...hard to see alot... I REALLY WISH those pics were still around. Plus at the time I didn't expect them to be anything more than a striped okeetee project (y'all know how I love my okeetees).

Don told me today that he threw the harddrive into the lake and got rid of all his snakes cause the city he was living in banned all snakes, and yes it is wierd!
