2013 Topaz Tessera

Tesseras keep getting better and better as they grow up. This was my first one. I produced one more last year, so now I have two.

2013 Lava Tessera

I am beginning to see evidence that my Yellow Jacket Gene may be co-dominant instead of dominant like I suspected. This first photo is of a Lava Tess, the second appears to have slight influence of the Yellow Jacket Gene, and the third is a full blown YJ Lava Tessera.

We may be seeing the same thing with Red Factor and RedCoat, which are variable like Diffused is, so it is very hard to tell, the hets. Yellow Jacket seems to be clearer.

2013 Blue Tessera het Motley

These are very different, and very cool.

I get more slack for calling these Blues when I run ads, than you would believe. Like, I came up with the name all on my own. Dilute Blacks are Blues in the animal world, like Blue Rats, Blue Dogs and on and on.

If you don't like calling these Blue, how can you call a Pink Snow a Snow, they are not white. I know Blues are not the color of the sky, but do you know how many different shades of Blue there are. Check it out in the paint department the next time you are in the hardware store or do a search.

It is simply a trade name. Genetically, they are Dilute Anery Tessera het Motley.

2013 1.0 Sunglow Tessera (Mystic Exotics)
Good old Sunglows are very nice.

In my opinion, they are RedCoat, Red Factor Amels, two genes that were only recently noticed existed, but have been around for a very long time. I also believe they are Patternless, which is another gene that goes unnoticed. They are certainly opposite than a bordered Okeetee.

I certainly did not create RedCoats, but I did notice them in my Landrace Okeetee lines, which is at least one source it can come from, as well as possibly the origins of Bloodred. Red Factor too has been around awhile, but not called anything.

What the @#$%, is the difference? RedCoat is a top layer of red coloration, right on top, and you can see it in the head pattern especially and red on the belly. It also covers up borders or makes them much darker. Red Factor, causes red coloration in the background area and some on the blotches, they are not the same, so there is no need to make a choice between which name is preferred, they are not the same effect or gene.

That is a nice looking Sunglow Tessera you have. Why it is orange instead of red, may be that it also has one of the yellow causing genes, like Buf or Yellow Jacket, again, genes that went unnoticed for many years, until they were singled out by test breedings. A Sunglow may be an Amel, Borderless, RedCoat Redfactor, Yellow Jacket genetically.

My two cents for today. Very nice indeed!
 
GOd... My wish list just grew.. *sighs*
Here is peekaboo, pewter Tessera, produced by Rich Hume..
Her pattern does not look very even but I love the amount of white on her...

I like her pattern. The addition of Masque and Diffused always changes the pattern of Tessera.

The single stripe down the back of Tesseras are from STRONG Okeetee influence like the originals were.

This is the first Pewter Tessera I have seen. Very nice!
 
Masque?! How do you know that she is masque? mind you I am still learning.. Glad you like her becasue I love her but yeah she is not very even. I love input from people with more knowledge..

I love learning. I learn something new every day.

The bald head patterns we love on Bloodreds is caused by Masque, not Diffused. Usually, the males have the best head patterns. I can just barely see the top of "her" head in one of the photos, and she has a Masque head pattern for a female.

You can also clearly see the diffused effect from the Diffused gene, on her Tessera side pattern as a side note.

The best of best Bloodreds genetically, are Masque, RedCoat, Red Factor, Diffused Corns.
 
2013 Blue Tessera het Motley

Here is another of my Blue Tesseras het Motley freshly shed.

The Blues, without any pink, Hypo, Yellow Jacket, Buf or any other additional color genes have the best shade of blue. Genetically, they are just Dilute Anerys, which are my favorite of this combine.

Here is a better head shot.. I really gotta understand the genetics better. I adore her though. She was a steal.. I got her for 20 bucks on the expo from Hume. His snakes are off the chart!

Oh lordy!! <3 <3 <3
 
2013 Blue Motley Tessera

Some people still call this Tessera pattern a "Striped" Tessera. They do have a stripe down their back, but this combine is caused by the Motley gene.

We had the same problem with Pin-Striped Motleys. People were always calling them Stripes due to the single stripe down their back. We finally solved the problem by coming up with the Pin-Striped name.

If you like this pattern and your goal is to produce it, in your favorite color, and you start with Tessera and Striped, you will be very disappointed. You will end up with a Tessera pattern that looks similar to a Vanishing Striped Corn or "Reverse" Striped Corn as some people call them.

This pattern is genetically a Motley Tessera. I guess we could call it a Pin-Striped Motley Tessera, but isn't shorter better?

Don't feel bad, even most corn breeders and corn enthusiasts don't completely understand Masque, Yellow Jacket, Redcoat or Red Factor unless they plan to work with them. There really are too many genes and new things learned about them all the time, that a person would have a really hard time keeping up with it all!
 
2013 Masque Sunkissed Tessera ph PS

Here is an example of the Masque head pattern on a Corn that is not a Bloodred.

Sunkissed really messes with the Tessera pattern without Masque. Sunkissed Tessera patterns are all very different, but similar to this one.
