Introducing Gwen ~ Peppermint Tessera

Tavia

Elemental Exotics
Our new arrival today from Nanci at Snickersnakes.
Introducing Gwen, Peppermint Tessera sibling to our Hadrian. I can tell already that getting accurate color pictures of her is going to be a challenge!

Taken indoors with flash.

I just had a thought. You know how amels have red eyes, and peppermints, (amel cinder) have white eyes? Maybe cinder removes red (but other genes like red coat can add it back) and that is why some peppermints look key lime green??? The pink on Gwen's head is her flesh showing through, not actual color. But I do have peppermints and peppermint stripes that are actual pink/coral...

I was thinking about that too, wondering what it is that brings the red back in some Cinders, I've seen Cinders, Hypo Cinders and a few Peppermints with tons of red and some without any.

Arista, my Hypo Cinder is one of the ones with a fair amount of red, though it does seem to be softening away a little with age.

Arista will be ready next year and I'm hoping Hadrian will be too, it will be very interesting to see what kind of Cinders pop out from that pairing!
 
Taken indoors with flash 12/7/16. She did not want to hold still but the camera managed much better than usual this time to actually catch her true colors.

This is exactly what Donavan Winterberg says happens with the red coat and the Anery. That it actually adds more pigmentation that is then made to be dark by the Anery.

Gorgeous snake!
