Tessera Corns- UPDATE

Last year my friend Don Shores of Shores Enuff Snakes ( http://www.shoresenuffsnakes.com/ ) got my Striped Tessera (I'll attach some younger pics of him)... Don just called me withs ome exciting news... He posted on another forum and wasn't sure if he was a cs.com member or not ... anyways, here is his post/info:

"This year I bred a Tessera corn I got from Graham Criglow that was from a Tessera to Tessera breeding. He is a striped Tessera. I bred it to a banded amel and 16 out of 16 eggs hatched were Tesseras. There were no bad eggs in the clutch. I am hoping this demonstrates that this is the first homozygote discovered (super form)."


If Don gets the same results next year this could be some awesome info!!!!!

Figured I'd share..

I was wondering when this would happen!

The fact that the sire is striped is unrelated, correct?

I believe so, Nanci - from what I understand we're seeing a lot of striped tesseras popping up because one of the first crosses was a stripe.....Graham can correct if I'm wrong...

The original 2.1 Tesseras were out of that "Striped Okeetee Project" so they did have the striped/motley gene floating around in the mix...many of the orig 2009 outcrosses were to multi-homozygous animals (many of which included stripes)... for example I have a Tessera het ghost stripe that should go in 2012. I really like the way the stripe cleans the sides up alot when combined with teh Tessera gene.

This particular animal's results have more to do with it being from a Tessera X Tessera breeding. Don is a great guy and I'm glad he had such a cool clutch this year with that male!
