So I am going to make you suffer with me (insert evil laugh here).
So background story
I had acquired this guy from another breeder. He came from a tessera breeding but because of the motley there was no way to tell without breeding that he is in fact a motley tessera. So anyway I love testing hets so why not he come here? As a baby I was convinced that he was a tessera. Even in his motley circles he had the tess line with white outline on either side (wish I got a pic of that but never did) but as he grew I began to doubt as he was looking more and more like just a plain ole motley. Then this year came when he was old enough to breed. The eggs have been incubating for 75, 76 now days. The first one pipped last night.
So we are testing a few things here. Obviously is he a tessera and he is possible het caramel and anery. So I have bred him with my butter (proven to not be het motley) who is het anery and charcoal. So now the fun begins.
Here is Jester as a baby.
He is Jester when he is a little older.
First baby pipping. Not a great picture. I promise I will get better. Unfortunately this baby appears to be a normal amel. So nothing proved with this kid. 8 more eggs to go
