Very very interesting, Walter.

Going off on a tangent, does "borderless," as in borders not there describe it best, or is it more like faint or hypo or don't show up visually very well borders? On lavas, the border is there, it's just purple or gray, which blends in with the red.

But when Catherine said borderless, I "heard" whatever you called the gene that piers have, that wipes the side pattern completely. Which a lot of bloodreds have.

Walter, are there any complete, "normal" dorsal stripes on any of the tesseras in the clutch, or all they all broken?

And maybe related, maybe not, is that "static" side pattern. Remember that tessera I got from you, the normal het/poss het everything? He's got that side pattern- that's what drew me to him.

Very nice aberrants, Walter! I like these extreme ones too!!

As discussed before, it seems that Tesseras that come from parents carrying the Bloodred trait show this crazy pattern for some odd reason.....why, I have no clue :shrugs:

I've reat that hypothesis a couple of times in the past 2 years, but my tessera breedings don't verify that thesis.

2012: Ghostblood het Charcoal x Tessera = regular Tesseras
2013: Tessera het Ghostblood x Ghostblood = regular Tesseras (just 2 in the clutch, one is Frankencorn)

I can post pics of the babies if you're interested.

I have the feeling these aberrant Tesseras are more a question of the lineage than of the bloodred genetics. I'll definately disagree with "all Tesseras with Bloodred genetics tend to aberrant pattern".

btw, fingers crossed for an EXTREME abberant Caramel Tessera!!!!

Nanci,
What Catherine is talking about when she says "Boarderless" is that the typical Blotch boarders are not there. Here are 4 of my Lava's that fall in that catagory:

Pic. 1 ) Lava
Pic. 2 ) Topaz - showing very little boarder flecks here and there
Pic. 3 ) Topaz - showing none
Pic. 4 ) Lava Lavender

As you can see these are pretty much "Boarderless"

To answer your aother question, they pretty much all have some kind of abberancy in their patterns. None with complete unbroken striping.

I thought it could possibly be a het "marker" for Bloodred, but then again not all of them display this abberent pattern.

Thanks Stephan !!

As you can see in my own quote, I didn't say or think ALL of them do. You just didn't quote all of what I wrote.

What Catherine has mentioned does kinda put 2 and 2 together. Now, wether this is the actual factor here, can't say for sure.
Of course breeding trials would have to be done to determine this to hold true or not.

Thanks, Walter!

Yes, the reason I'd say all bloodreds don't produce aberrant tesseras is because not all bloodred lines are also carrying the "borderless" gene. The best ones usually are, but we've all seen bloodreds that, at maturity, still carry the saddle borders that don't diffuse nicely.
