Here is the second clutch from my tessera to creamsicle breeding. Out of 29 eggs from 2 different females all of the babies are tessera. I am pretty sure that he is the super or homozygous form of the tessera corn.

Wow, that is pretty startling, that all 29 came out Tesseras! So I guess all the babies are of the het form? This gene still makes me scratch my head.

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!
What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!
King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?

WOW 29,, that's what I said to myself. ALL? Crazy genetics lol.
anyone do bloodred Tessera? Oh heck I have 100 questions, lol I have not kept up with all the corn morphs i just pop in from time to time to see what people are doing. Corns started out with morphs like jelly beans. Then jelly beans with stripes and patterns, now they are getting custom paint jobs. I do love the progress.
Super cool snakes.
