2013 RedCoat Bloodred/PS Sunkissed Tessera

My original Tessera het Sunkissed Bloodred, proved to actually be het for Pied-Sided last year when I bred him to a couple of Bloodred het PS females, which produced PS Tessera. This year I took full advantage of this new knowledge and bred him to several RedCoat PS females.

RedCoat still seems to be recessive. The above Sunkissed Tessera and this one were produced by the same group of parents, but none are RedCoats. The Tessera het Sunkissed PS is very red, so I believe he is Red Factor, but doesn't have the top layer of RedCoat over his head pattern. It is possible that RedCoat is co-dominant like Diffused is, but if so, it is not easily seen as het.

I see Red Factor referred to as a co-dominant gene often, or one dose and two doses, which is actually het RF and homo RF. It will be very nice when we know for sure about RedCoat too.

I also believe that PS is an allele to Bloodred and Bloodred is dominant over PS. Just like Striped is an allele to Motley and Motley is dominant over Striped.

It makes since and can be used to predict recovering PS, except some PS don't have white on their sides, just extreme diffusion. The same thing happens with the spotted gene in mammals. Some just have a white face without spots, but are still genetically spotted.

Very pretty! I like the name!

Thanks, I'm usually terrible at naming them but I think it's a good fit!

Might as well throw in an update on my SK tessera het caramel. She went on a hunger strike for awhile and I was really worried, so she has grown pretty slowly. Now she's eating like a champ again.



She has great black flecking, can't wait to see her honey tessera offspring.



And she has full belly checkers! I don't like when belly checkers are eliminated, it's one of the cornsnake's best features.
 
Great name on the Snow Tessera!

I love that SK Tessera! I wished she was male when she was first posted.

I can't pick a favorite, because I love them all, but she definitely ranks up there! Not only do I hope to make honey tesseras from her, but they will also be het amel stripe. So saffron stripe tesseras are hopefully in my future. I can't wait to see what stripe does to a sunkissed tessera, although I'm sure someone will find out before I do.
 
That's a great pic of Alaska. It's nearly impossible to capture the green borders.

Thanks! Those lighter scales in the green region look pale TEAL in person, at least to me, but I can't capture it without a real camera. She has salmon contribution from one parent so I'm excited to see the results when she's bred to my salmon and coral males.

amel tessera :)

Terrible pic of this HYPER little guy, but as I tried to get a better one I proceeded to traumatize him by dropping his tub upside down on the floor with him in it.

He's an ultramel lavender tessera 66% ph anery motley. Heather, I think I'm going to pair him with that pretty sunkissed amel het lavender I got from you, to start an ultramel (and amel) orchid tessera project.

 
This is my newest Tess, Hadrian, an Amel het Cinder.

Picture courtesy of Nanci, as he has not been shipped to me yet.

Ultramel Orchid Tessera's will be awesome!

Amanda, I cannot wait until you get your little guy from Nanci! They are so cool!
 
I should add this girl, too. I've been waiting for her to shed to get better pics, but she still refuses to shed. She goes by her own set of rules, apparently. LOL
This is Circe, my new Candycane Tessera het Cinder from Nanci.

I can't believe she still hasn't shed!
Me too! I even checked the deli cup, to see if she shed during shipping, but nothing there. She looks like she's in the clear phase, and she should have shed by now.
At least her brother is cooperating. LOL
