Here are a few exceptional animals I acquired from my buddy Gerard that are all 100% locality-specific originating from near Everglades National Park in the extreme southern tip of Florida.

Here is a one-of-a-kind aberrant male that is totally aberrant from head to tail!. He is virtually like motley, striped and Tessera were all combined into one single animal. I hope to prove his phenotype heritable in the near future!!!..

~Doug

Note the totally mosaic, tesselated sides as well. His belly is very very normally checkered.

Here is a Miami-type female captured within feet of the aberrant male.

This is another female captured in the same area. She seems to have an upper Keys Rosy rat/Miami phenotype that would certainly correlate with the locale she came from.

here is a killer yellowish "buckskin" male that was captured about 1/4 mile from the others above. This guy has a strong yellow hue to his background that will surely get much more pronounced as he matures.

A belly shot depicting the strong yellow hue he displays.....

Thanks for looking everyone!..

Holy cow, Doug! Those are awesome! It will be really interesting to see what that first male produces. I especially like the 'buckskin' male. Looks like someone released a buckskin okeetee!

Don't let them take your wasted time. J.T.

All nice looking animals, Doug. I especially like the male with the super duper yellow. If he is already that yellow he should really become vibrant in the future.

Those are all great additions Doug, but that aberrant male is sweet! I like the yellow guy too, but there's not a bad looking snake in the bunch. I'm looking forward to seeing what they produce for you.

Thanks Kevin, I love the group a lot bud!

That first one looks like someone's escaped pet aberrant Okeetee - very nice though!
I like the Thayeri look of that last one! Very nice - thanks for sharing!

Thanks Zee!,...yes, those two are killer man!. Well, there just isn't any way the aberrant is an escapee pet(or any of them to be honest). My friend captured them in a vast Everglades wilderness in the middle of nowhere as a tiny hatchling last year and has had all that time growing it up until just the other day when I acquired it. I don't think someone's very expensive pet Tessera hatchling escaped and then crawled countless miles to where he was found...

I don't have any idea if it is compatable or works the same way as the Tessera's do as of yet, but this thing is far beyond a so-so aberrant...

Are you holding him down with your feet in pic 6? That first snake really does remind me of a tessera! Very pretty.

LOL!, yes, my big toe is holing the tail down to take the pic.

Yes, it certainly DOES look like some of the Tesseras with less straight, clean striping. I have some Tessera pics that look like they are viertually siblings. I am not saying it is a Tessera at this point by ANY means, but it could possibly prove to be compatible with them, or something else altogether. Only time will tell because I am going to breed him to all sorts of stuff next year including a Tessera or two quite possibly to see what gives.
