2013 Red Factor Tessera het Fire X Coral Snow clutch progression thread

MysticExotics

MysticExotics

(formerly NWHeather)
Saraphine-Coral Snow-originally from SMR X Cinaed-RF Tessera het Cayenne Fire, produced by Colorado Corns

The first photo is of the Dam-Saraphine.
The next two are of Cinaed when he first came to me, & the last one is a recent photo of Cinaed.

I wanted to get a really nice male Tessera from this pairing, to pair back to the Dam, to see what I could produce.
I'd like to hold back a couple of the babies, to continue this project. I see the RF influence in a number of the babies, & they haven't shed yet. (They've just begun to start shedding.)

I will post better photos of each of the babies after they all shed, but I wanted to share them now. :)

They hatched Sept 30th.

I hope to get more photos taken & uploaded before this coming weekend, but I will be leaving for Tinley on Friday, & might not get to it until after my trip.
 
I didn't get around to taking better pix before my trip, & I just offered their first meal tonight, so it will be a few days or so before I am able to take more pix of these babies.

On another note, 20-21 have eaten their first meal offered! So far, I have 5 hold outs, & one more that I miss counted pinks & had to thaw out one more, so I'll check in a bit to see if that one eats.
One of the normal Tessera's is a holdout, the other holdouts are normal Amels. (Possibly one Normal, the one I fed last). I'm very happy that 9 out of 10 Tessera's ate their first meals!
 
1st feeding update: I just checked, before going to bed. All but 2 of the Amel's ate their first meal! (24 out of 26 babies ate their first meal!)
 
I weighed, sexed, cleaned, and took more photos of all of the babies today. It might take me a couple days to get pix cropped and resized, but I'm pretty happy with the apparent outcome. I'll sex the supposed females a couple more times over the next few weeks, before any of the babies are made available.
I want to get more meals in them and at least one more shed. I'm definitely seeing RF influence in some of the babies, and I'm looking forward yo seeing the progression on these babies.

I'm still cleaning cages, I will feed when I'm done.

Fingers crossed that I have another successful feeding night.
 
Tessera babies!

Here's the 10 Tessera babies. Intial sexing, it appears to be 14 females and 12 males. I'll recheck a couple times over the next couple months.

I'm posting dorsal/ventral shots of each one, so this will take several posts to get all 10.

T1 (female?) and T2 (male)

Some of the photos are better than others. These guys are not easy to photograph! LOL

I offered their second meal last night, & 24 out of 26 ate (had the same number of eater last time)
This time, one of them was a repeat non-eater, & the other was one that ate the first meal, but not the second. One that refused first meal did eat the second meal, so overall, I think it's pretty successful!
The ones that are not eating are all regular Amels.
 
A11 (male) **might be available down the road**and A12 (female?) (holdback)
