Anery Widestripe X Tessera 2012

12 eggs laid, 11 hatched. The 12th contained a DIE normal color normal (wild-type) pattern.

Notes: When AWS is bred to amel wild-type, with no hets, all of the offspring are of normal coloration, and of wild-type pattern. I have not hatched test motley pairings yet. Bred to wild-caught, 100% wild-types are produced. So far, only when bred to Anery A or B do some of the F1 offspring show striping or aberrant patterning. About 25% with Anery A pairings, 50% with Anery B pairings. Testing with Lavender this year to see what happens, they have not hatched yet. Also testing with amel het anery a & b this year.

11 photos coming soon.

Waiting for them to shed, then I'll take some individual pictures.

I see that aspects of the wide-stripe have passed on to the normal offspring?

Wow look at those pretty babies. Very interesting.

Can't wait for individual pics! Those look very interesting!!

Cant wait to see more pics

Congrats on a swell looking clutch Dave!!:cheers: Can't wait to see some post shed pics!!

yes, which it should not have, but it did. The "normals" have checkered bellies. This was a curiosity pairing, to see what happens when two F1 dominant pattern genes collide. Plan on holding back 2-3 male "tess-looking-ones", and all the females regardless of phenogenotypey thingy.

I will have to defer to everyone's expertise to help me figure out which striped ones are tessera, or if some of them are something-elses???

Thank you for the comments-

Hard to tell from just the one pic, but it appears as if the tesseras pattern is "normal" for them or unaffected. The stripes look clean for the most part. Maybe the tessera trait dominates over the wide stripe trait?

Nice looking animals, congrats

Dave, weren't you thinking that the wide stripe was somehow connected to anerythrism?

Well, I was.....but then, this year,
(and the following has hatched since I made my last post on this thread)
I bred the widestripe to blizzard and got 50% anery with severely distorted pattern, 25% amel, and 25% blizzards. All with some aztecy/ziggy zaggy pattern distortion. Also bred to amel het anery A and got the similar results, though with markedly less pattern distortion on the snows/amels. And one wild type/wild color but with pattern distort.

It appears that AWS is likely to show more f1 pattern distortion when Anery B is present, then when Anery A is present. Present, in either homozygous or het.

The zinger here is that the anery widestripe male was not supposed to be het amel, but is. I'm guessing that the other original male was used by Sean when he did his test breeding with an amel not het for anything at all, which produced all normally patterned offspring. Lucky me, 20 more holdbacks to feed for 4 years and shoot for F2s. Unless I get a decent offer. LOL.

Gee whiz, hijacking my own thread. Classic.


Anyways, here's a few pics of the Tess X AWS babies.

and three more...

Dave you can send a girl here since I have some boys... Would be happy to help you on those f2s. :sidestep:

That's weird that the wide stripe babies have such nice gray backgrounds! I wonder where that came from.
