So I have a Male Tessera who is het Amel and Stripe and possibly het Anery and Hypo. 2013 he was bred to a Snow Stripe and produced Normals, Normal Stripes, Amels and Amel Stripes (as well as Tessera versions of each). This season he was bred to a Snow and a Diffused het Anery, Hypo. From the Snow pairing all I got was Normals and Amels (as well a Tessera versions). No Anerys in the clutch. From the Diffused pairing I ended up with Normals and Normal Tesseras. I did however hatch out 1 Anery and 1 Ghost. I did not get any Anery or Ghost Tesseras though.

Would that just be bad odds with the Snow clutches? Or could it be possible for my female to have retained sperm from a different male and used it to fertile some of the clutch? If that is possible it would have been from a breeding done back in 2011 or 2012 since I bred her to a Fire Motley het Stripe last season and did not produce any Granites (or Hypo Bloods). I plan to breed him to a Homo Anery and a het Anery next season to see if I can get any Anery Tesseras from him.
 
I'd go with bad odds.

I have had:

a clutch from a ghost het amel to an anery het amel with 15 aneries and a single snow.
a clutch from a ghost het amel to an amel het hypo anery with 4 aneries, 7 amels and 4 snows. Not a single normal.
a clutch from a charcoal paired to a butter that produced 19 eggs, 18 of which were amels and normals... and a single butter for egg #19.
a clutch from a hypo het amel anery to an anery het hypo with 2 aneries, 2 hypos, and 6 ghosts. Not a single normal.

And then there was the aneries het hypo, charcoal, lavender with a single anery, 2 moonstones (poss w/ charcoal), 2 anery-charcoals... and 3 things that might be quad genes. I might have hit a 1-in-64 THREE times with 8 eggs.

I am the queen of strange clutch odds.
 
That's my baby daddy! Give me a couple of years and I'll tell you if Timmy's het anery. If all goes as planned he'll be breeding with an anery so it should be pretty obvious. (a basket of 25 normals on your doorstep, LOL)
 
My pair that produced the plasma stripe plus several nice bloodred stripes the first year produced ZERO stripes the second year in a 13 egg clutch.

I hope next season I get a few of Anery Tesseras from him. I will be breeding him to an Anery het Hypo who is proven not to be het Amel. I hope that pairing results in a different outcome than the pairings from this season.
 
Still wondering if this was bad odds.

This is the only Anery that I hatched from this clutch. Funny thing is he kind of looks like a Granite. None of the Tesseras in the clutch were homo Blood though. What are the chances my Tessera is also het Blood? Or is it actually possible for 2 males to fertilize a single clutch? I plan to breed the Tessera to the same Diffused female next season to see what I get.



 
I don't know if your hoping for a granite or not, but this is the ventral of an Anery.

I'd say you have a little Granite there.
 
I know for sure he is a Granite. The thing I'm unsure about is if his father is my Tessera or not. If the Tessera is the father that will make my Tessera a genetic power house with 5 different hets (Amel, Anery, Hypo, Stripe, and Diffused). I know he is 100% het Amel and Stripe. I will see what happens with the breedings I have planned for next year. If all his hets prove out I could end up with quite a nice variety of Tesseras next season including:

Amel Tessera
Anery Tessera
Snow Tessera
Ultramel Anery Tessera
Hypo Tessera
Ghost Tessera
Blood Tessera
Hypo Blood Tessera
Granite Tessera
Fire Tessera
Ghost Blood Tessera
Stripe Tessera
Anery Stripe Tessera
Hypo Stripe Tessera
Ghost Stripe Tessera
