This year I paired my two tesseras het anery, amel, diffused, and poss het stripe. The male is also red factor. I got a variety of babies, but there are a few I'm not certain on the morph. Thoughts on any or all of these is welcome!

This little guy hatched out and I thought he was a granite tessera. Now, however, he gained a very noticeable red tone after his first shed, so I'm thinking he's actually just a diffused tessera. Comparing him to my other diffused tessera, he's very dark. So now I'm not sure if he's just a diffused tessera and maybe the other one is a red factor diffused tessera? Or maybe they're both regular diffused tesseras with a normal amount of color variation?

Out of egg picture of Agave, suspected granite tessera:

And after his first shed, much more red/brown:

Here are two pictures showing him with the other diffused tessera:

Then there's this little guy, Cholla. He's probably just a normal tessera, but he looks masque to me. Neither of the parents are masque as far as I'm aware.

RF is a dominant gene, so you only need one parent to have the gene to pass it along to some of the babies.
I haven't seen how RF works with all of the genes, but I do know it can take a number of sheds before you really start seeing the red wash.

Yeah, my last RF babies were all amel-based and I had a pretty easy time picking out the RF ones. These ones are much harder to tell.
 
I'd say it looks masque, and yeah... that first one is probably going to be a VERY nice diffused tessera. I also thought it was a granite tessera with that first photo!
