Any ideas on this hatchling???

No belly checks, so it is striped, diffused or both. Looks both.

Niklas, neither parent has diffused genes associated to it per qtken2. The likelihood of a random mutation cropping up is extremely low, but there nonetheless. And although no belly checks is a marker for both stripe and diffused, it is also a marker for motley and terrazzo. Additionally, you can have tesseras without motley, stripe, diffused, or terrazzo in their lineage and those tessera can have patterned or even patternless bellies.

That said, I agree that stripe and tessera are in play and what appears to most likely be lavender. As qtken2 stated, he is holding this one back. Hopefully it is male and maybe in 2 years he will test cross it with something like an orchid stripe, orchid het stripe, stripe het orchid, lavender het sk stripe, sunkissed het lavender stripe, or normal het orchid stripe. Any one of those pairings should start to shed light, if the odds of probability are favorable, as to what this neat looking mystery critter is.

Shoot, it might even be the orchid version of my favorite striped tessera owned by multicorn.net. Image courtesy of multicorn.net via iansvivarium.com.

He is a male! I don't have anything outside this project to test him with but an orchid. I do plan on breeding him to a plasma tessera but that doesn't help out with the sunkissed and stripe part. I'll be looking for some things at Daytona this year as well
 
Shed Update

The other baby hasn't shed yet but here is next to a lavender sibling. I'll take pictures after each shed to track as well, just hope I can remember.

I figured out what those are.... Corn snakes!

Those 2 are going to be smoke'n Ken! I think both are very likely going to look like the one I posted above owned by multicorn. I'm hoping it get similar this season as I'm more a fan of the bold stripe vs vanishing stripe.

Definitely document it. If not, I'm always game for visiting FL with my Nikon gear. :D
 
2nd Clutch hatching!

So here comes round 2 with a surprise guest appearance from "caramel"! The parents are no longer 50% possible het anymore.

Caramel Tessera


Honey ?????? (more will be known once out)


Another head scratcher,
Lavender ????? Tessera
 
And it looks like I know know what the first hatchling is that I originally asked about: Sunkissed Tessera Motley.

This was confirmed with a motley hatching out.

Random!?, No way. Diffused is common these days.
It is out there bred into many lines.

If the parents of that hatchlings had a diffused ancestor 3-4 generations back, do you really think the diffusion gene should or could be listed in the pos het list?

The snake have a diffused lateral pattern, it have a plain belly and a head pattern that that makes me think of bloodred.

The problem in this thread is that the pos het list of the parents do not list the diffused gene.
