Butter Tesseras

I'm looking for pictures of Butter Tesseras. I'm pretty sure I recall that someone produced them this year but I can't remember who. So if anybody out there has a better memory than me (a huge segment of the population I'm sure) please point me in the right directions.

Thanks,
Terri
 
I hope someone produced them but I haven't seen any pics of them. I have a friend that produced everything but with a cross of a tessera het butter stripe to a butter stripe. I happen to be lucky enough to have the caramel striped tessera het amel male from that clutch.

I have a caramel tess sibling to John's caramel motley/stripe tess. Alas, no butter that I know of. But maybe next year. John, I'm pairing the sire of our caramels to his sister tess that I got from you last year.
 
I should have them next year, didn't make any this season.
 
I think some of the group that was sold here (on the site) last year turned out not to be het for caramel. Just in case those were the ones you were thinking of.

-could be wrong-
 
Thanks for the responses. I know that people bred for them this season. I just thought I had seen a post somewhere in cyberspace of one/two being produced.
Comparison pics help a lot in identifying unexpected morphs. I guess I'll keep searching. If any of you guys come across some please keep me in mind.

Thanks again,

Terri
 
I thought I heard somewhere that these had been produced, but I haven't seen any pics. If I remember where I heard it I'll let you know.

I was trying to make a butter tessera this year, had a project going with Chad Fuchs where I sent him my sulfur female to breed to his tessera het butter. But for some inexplicable reason, they never hooked up, so we got nothing this year.

Chad did, however, make some nice amber and caramel tesseras, so as a consolation prize I got a pair of the ambers. Here are two pictures of the male.

Snap.....!!!! should have got some this year striped tessera het amel caramel X amel stripe het caramel..... She re absorbed them though!!!! :sobstory:

Try again next year!!!!!
 
Hmmm, so I was hoping I'd have comparison pictures but I guess I'll just jump in the pool. I'm pretty sure this is a Butter Tessera. My indecision stems from the fact that it was an unexpected morph. She was produced as part of a shared project I had with Rob and Louise Stevens of Bayou Reptiles. Her father is a Snow Tessera with no known Hets and her mom is a Snow that had a questionable (until now) Het of Caramel. Both parents show no yellow wash frequently seen in animals Het for Caramel. When the eggs hatched Rob noticed that she looked odd compared to her clutchmates. He shipped them to me before their first shed. She shed for me along with her siblings and looked post shed even more unlike the Snow Tesseras and Amel Tesseras in the clutch. I guess I'll call her a Butter Tessera. What do you think?
(As always, I apologize ahead of time for the crap photos.)

Dang Terri, that does look like a butter tessera. It seems too yellowy orange to be an amel one.

What morphs were present in the hatchlings? Any caramels at all?
 
I bet tessera looks outstanding in butter! Butter is so good to show off patterns. Congratulations!!
