My turn for Tesseras!

Congrats Robbie. And I like the name Sauron if that's what you go with. (hey, that even kind of fits with your 'evil' named snake theme) I'm contemplating Tolkien names for my geckos...I'm just too indecisive.

Thanks! There's just so many fun Tolkien names... you gotta love 'em (even if you cant pronounce half of them :rofl: )
 
Wow, HUGE congrats Robbie!!! :cheers:

I never would have guessed these would be the SSS's, but boy-oh-boy am I looking forward to their progression pics!!! :D
 
Woah, didn't expect that! SSS indeed!
I've liked that pattern since I first saw it, can't wait to see what you do with them later.
 
I haven't really looked at the possibilities... but since the Tessera gene is "dominant" won't you see results in the FIRST generation? Like if you did a Tessera X Lavender cross... wouldn't you get a lavender with Tessera coloration?

Sorry if I'm WAAYYYY off base here, but just curious. Correct me as needed!! LOL.

Well, Tessera is dominant, but Lavender is still recessive. If you breed a Tessera to a lavender, you would get normal and Tesseras het lavender. Breed the Tesseras het lav back together to get Lavender Tesseras.
 
Stunning photos, Roobie; that is a gorgeous snake... I very much look foward to progression threads of the Tessera, especially authored by someone with your enviable photographic skills. That's probably the nicest cornsnake I've seen, if you don't count a few Okeetee.

Congratulations! :)

P.S. A perfectionist like myself appreciates the perfect stripe and exceptional markings!!!

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to watching these guys grow up, and of course I'll flood the forum with photos every now and then. LOL
 
Interesting new addition Robbie. I can't say I am a fan of the gene until I see grey snakes with that pattern LOL!
