CARAMEL STRIPED TESSERA

Well you can't post that and not post a picture! In answer to the question, not to my knowledge but that doesn't mean much, as I'm not on top of that kind of thing.
 
Well I'm not fully sure just yet...they are shedding now and I'm consulting with Don Soderberg at the moment to verify. Pictures are on this forum in my "2012 Hatchlings" thread in the photo gallery. Keep in mind I'm not 100% sure yet!
 
I produced two maybe three of them. Its hard to tell at an early stage.

Again, I don't know if I'm the only one who has produced these so far. SMR mentioned there may have been someone in Europe who may have beat me to it!
 
The orange at the base of the neck says normal to me. I had the same problem with my caramel and normal stripes last year. But maybe the next shed will prove me wrong.
 
Yes, that bothered me a little, too. I guess I haven't seen a normal striped T. And his head markings are a very warm brown.

Steve Roylance? sold Walter Smith? a striped T that was so perfect it resembled a pinstripe motley. And I think Tom produced a striped T this year, maybe?
 
This one's central stripe is just so wheat-colored, not a golden orangey color.

You know a normal always takes a while for that orange to come in. And I see it at the base of the neck. Give it a shed or two. If I'm wrong, I'll do something drastic, like wear a sombrero to work.
 
I think everyone should pool their money together and buy it for me so I can watch it grow up. I won't be disappointed if it is a normal.
 
LOL....The orange on the neck is exactly what I thought too....too much makes it normal!!! I'm still back and forth each day in my head...Caramel....Normal....Caramel....Normal. I do have a Normal Striped Tessera that is much darker though. Also I do have a lighter more brown one. I don't know I'm confused!!
 
Lets see the others.

Ok here are the other three:

1st Picture: Classic Stripe Tessera

2nd Pic: I now think is a Classic Stripe Tessera

3rd Pic: Don Soderberg is featuring on his site as a Caramel Stripe Tessera (I believe this one is the Caramel one)

I have honestly noticed that the Striping of the Caramel gene is different than that of a normal stripe. Atleast in my collection, hence that the last picture is definitely a Caramel Stripe Tessera. I've produced plenty of Striped Caramels/Ambers and the brown color of the stripe on the back tapers thinner as you get closer to the tale versus a normal stripe that stays thicker down the back. Compair the pictures and see what I'm talking about!
