A huge congrats to Don!

It looks like Don won the lottery this year (or close). Don has been quite busy lately with all of his new hatchlings and does not have time to post everywhere he would like to, so I offered to post these pictures, and a few words for him.

From Don:

Tessera Colors . . .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a great July Christmas. Checked under the tree (uhhh, roof actually) this morning to find two opened packages (uhhh, egg shells actually) for me. One was an Anery Tessera and the other an Ultramel Tessera. I was going to post this earlier today, but since there was a white nose sticking out of one of the packages and an orange nose out of the other, thought I'd wait a little longer. In the meantime, a Snow Tessera emerged, but I'm still waiting on the other package. It's obviously an Amel, but whether it's just that OR an Amel Tessera, I don't know yet. Patterns on the Ultramel and Anery aren't classic, but the Anery was so atypical, I actually like it. The sire is a Tessera het for Ultramel Anery and the damm is a an Ultramel Anery.

I haven't heard the name "tessara" before... Is that a line bred pattern, a genetic trait, or are they hybrids?? :s
 
Yeah I seen this a couple of nights ago. They are soooooooo gorgeous! I'd almost sell a body part for one....ugh..... depending on what part would sell lol
 
Did a search on the forums and found a bit of info and I KNOW I didn't see this one in the corn snake morph guide.. (will check later didn't have it in front of me) Looks like it's a pattern mutation? like stripe or motley? can anyone link me to more info? That's a really cool looking snake :)
 
It's the first dominant morph out there, it seems when one breeds a Tessera to any other morph 50% will turn out Tessera so it's a mega new breed with a lot of potential. I love this morph and I'm one of the lucky once to have a gorgeous female from Don in my possession.

Ow, and I want that Anery lolz

Oh that's cool! So it's dominant to the normal pattern? (still working out the kinks in my genetics understanding) So bred to a normal half would show Tessera, would the other half be het for the trait? no... cause only recessives work that way, hmm more like the Merle gene then in dogs, they either have it or they don't and if they have it they always show it, and they only need one half of the gene for it to show. So I wonder what a double Tessara would show like... In merles a double dose of the merle gene causes birth defects (blind deaf) But if you breed a double merle to a normal dog you get all merles.

Am I along the right though pattern here? (sorry for hijcking the thread LOL)

Yes, you are correct; it is dominant so it always displays itself if the snake has the gene.
I believe KJUN and/or Graham Criglow had already bred some Tesseras together looking for a super form and I believe the consensus was that Tessera does NOT come in a super form. Although, I am not sure how many test breedings they've done to prove it out. Maybe someone else would have more info on that.
