What temps are you incubating at? For a corn to pip at day 49, your heat was probably higher than normal...which can cause funky patterns on the babies. It's very cool, either way!

Thank You for your help first of all -! And to answer your question:
Since day one in the incubator, it has gotten above 80* one time - 84* for less than an hour - it was over 80* outside, our trailer was prolly closer to 85* - but we installed a better air flow immediatly and it has not once gone over 80* since - typical is 78 to 80... it has how ever, dropped below 78 a few times, once it got down to 73 (scared us to death) but again, the cause was immediatly remedied,not to mention, Our EXTENDED winter has FINALLY come to an end! lol)
Also, as I said in one of these posts..LOL this little guy was an "obvious premie", and now that it has been three days and no other of the 4 to 6 eggs that appear viable look anywhere close to pre-pip collapse- Also the egg he came out of had another snake in it, although obviously died some time before our little miracle surprise busted out. And what a BEAUTY of a Birthday present, couldn't have out done last years "First Skydive" present with much less! lol

LOL, sweetheart I can't even call it MINE! LOL Hubby woke up on his Birthday and found this tiny early arriver while checking and misting the clutch! You KNOW he claims this baby IS OBVIOUSLY meant to be his! LOL And so it is! And yep, tried for about 20 minutes today offering the BB, first the 'pinky head" and than due to her reaction (Intimidated) Pinky head HALF- tried all the usual, holding it low, used tweezers the whole time so the "food" doesn't appear to big, finally rubbed it on her nose a bit... nothing! So we offered water, again in a ned bottle top - she drank for a LONG time, than pulled her head up, kept swallowing for about a minute than regurged a small splash of the H2o, and a few minutes later she "hack coughed" closed her mouth and a couple small bubbles came out of her nose -
We try again tomorrow, this time, AFTER she drinks - And thankx kitten for your compliment and knowledge!!
 
Well WOW! I have now come to the conclusion that me saying how "very cool" this all has been...? Has become a serious understatment! LMAO!
So many helpful people with so many compliments, sincere interest, worthwhile idea's, information and just time out of their day and busy pipping season to offer their assistance in attempting to Identify this mysterious, and evidently even more magnificant than even I thought, Summer Serpent Surprise!!
LOL Even as "Ultra SPecial" as hubby even thinks it is, all your thoughts and idea's are even raising his eyebrows, even though he is only to eager to explain to ANYONE, that it DID show up, EARLY & Oh So tiny, looking NOTHING like what we were expecting any babies from these two to look like, yet there he was... in all his glory, at first light, Jul 12th - Sean's Birthday! lol (seriously, I believe that nothing less than this... tiny, amazing little guy, could have come close to matching his "First Time Sky Dive" present of last uear...)
So thankx EVERYONE... and I am looking SO forward to reading more tomorrow, as obviously, everyone LOVES a good mystery! lol Night
 
I also would guess that this tiny worm is an anery tessera.

Regarding the 49days, you should take down the temperature in the future or you will loose again some clutches...
 
I think it's most likely a very cool motley, but you just never know without breeding trials. I know it's different enough, with the super-busy side pattern, that I would want to explore that further.

Tessera is a dominant morph so an animal can't be het for it. This means that one of the parents should be a Tessera, which is not the case. :)

It probably is a cool looking motley. Or something completely else, with all the new morphs appearing these days lol.
 
He really is a cool little guy. Congrats! I really think that his pipping early had something to do with his dead sibling and not so much temps. I know if it was me and my twin died and started fouling up his side of the the eggs I would want to get out of there. lol I look forward to seeing post shed pictures and see what the rest of the clutch looks like.

The first Tessera was created somehow (popped out of an okeetee/stripe project, if I remember correctly).
Who's to say that the moon and stars can't re-align again? lol

Whatever it is, it's a beautiful snake!
 
WHY THANK YOU TARA!!!! And wouldn't that be something! Haven't a clue how I would ever PROVE "Tessera" with no back lineage... But I am SO gonna mate that little bugger in a few years and see just what kinda Moons, Stars or SuperNova's pop out! LMAO! Thank you again... I DO think he is SO BEAUTIFUL myself! (new pic this am:)
9 days after his first shed:

And thankx TO ALL YA ALL for your "knowledge" shared, and opinions written... Guess I better go back to researching just exactly how Don S. first came up with a Tessera, I was of the idea, couple years back when I 1st saw one, that it had been the result of YEARS of breeding, which resulted in ZIG ZAGS and the like along the way... Can anyone tell me if this is even close? lol - ....sigh, back to researching huh~!
THANK AGAIN EVERYONE... currently STILL waiting for what eggs are still looking viable, getting sucked up looking granted, but in a GOOD way... lol I HOPE!
 
HOLY CRAP! - ok, need some PRO's eyes here.... Check out this 3 yr old pic I came across of our Female (cert. red Striper) with ... "OB" the same male that sired our little beauty! Doesn't his sides look ever so faintly, slightly tessera in this pic??? He was about 5 then he's around 7 to 8 now... am I seeing things? And is THAT what you few meant by "diffused"? Faded like?

Oh yeah, and you can DEFF see the "Motley" in him here too! lol .....If he is like less than 50% amel tessera, could he throw the Tessera that we have? IS this the the answer to the "...but it can't be if at least one parent isn't" mystery? .....it's ok if it is, I have gotten pretty used to how dumb I can be over the last two-three years! lol wow, ok, hoping someone answers soon... Ill be up for another hour or so...

What are you talking bout here MA?

That's the prob dude, I ain't so much "talking about it" as I am "asking about it" LOL (also trying to not only figure out this whole one baby pips and WAY LOTS of folks tell me it sure looks like a anery tessera - and near as many add, but it can't be if at least ONE PARENT isn't... well, I didn't think (and wasn't ever informed by the seller) that either of these 2 upper keys long time mated pair were anywhere NEAR tessera's.... than I found this PIC of OB from 09 and his side DOES look a bit more patterened for about half his length, far as I can tell.. ya know.. faint tessera pattern looking... Im just asking if a Parent has to "LOOK" tessera to spawn one or just be in the line and have little to barely there \Tessera as far as markings go and yet BE enough tessera to through this little TOTALLY tessera looking pipper? ...sigh, am I making ANY sense at all? lol I think the dilaudid is hitting a sore, overly curious tired woman, who is afraid if she goes to bed, SHE MAY MISS ANOTHER EGG HATCHING TOO! lol
Good night.... hugz one and all.,..
 
I don't see anything Tessera about the parents. The baby looks similar to a T, but it's probably just a funky motley, like Susan said earlier.
