Here is Barbara's belly.

and that's enough for now.

Who named her, Dave, you or Graham? Interesting choice. Mother of a dynasty.

 

[dave partington]

She came to us from Texas, and I figured since she was the First Lady in office when this first lady was born, the name fit.

My Tessera is in the Tessera Breeding Club

He is a Tessera with hets, but they are unknown, so testing him out was my main goal with him this year. Since Tesseras are new and very popular, and caused by a dominant gene, I used hiim to bred to several females that double clutched this year.

Here are a few of his recent breedings: Anery Motley het Striped Amel ph Lava, Caramel Bloodred ph Hypo, Lava Okeetee het Amel, Lava Lavender and Lava Okeetee het Anery ph Lavender.

He has also been bred to, and good eggs produced from, Caramel het Lava, Striped Blue, RedCoat Frase Bloodred, Bloodred het Lavender ph Hypo Charcoal, Amel Striped het Anery and Striped Lavender.

He has been tested for Amel, Anery, Bloodred, Caramel, Dilute, Lava, Lavender, Motley, RedCoat and Striped for sure and possibly Hypo and Charcoal. I am really hoping that I produce some Tessera Morphs this year!

Geesh that guy has been way buzy!!! All in one year???

 

[Christen]

Eww he has been a very busy boy. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I have been dying to post pictures of Phally since she has now initiated me into the club but she is in blue and I figured I would wait for some fresh skin pictures.

Most of the breedings were spread out 2-3 days, and many of them were weeks apart. His first breeding was to a virgin Lava Lav and she slugged out. The second one was to the Caramel het Lava female and she only laid 5 good eggs, but all of the clutches since have been near 100% fertile. Once he got warmed up, he was good to go.

I guess this is a case for an experienced breeder gone wild with a new dominant gene. I have to get excited about something these days, and this year it will be watching some Tessera clutches hatch!

I can't wait to find out what he is het for. I pretty much have most possiblities covered. I forgot to include he is tested for Ultra too, due to the Amel breedings.

One thing I don't understand; usually the breeding season is pretty muhc over now, what year do you mean?

My season was delayed three months this year, so instead of beginning in March, I got started in June. My first eggs will start hatching any day now and some females are cycling for their second clutches right now. The Tessera X Anery Motley het Amel Striped ph Lava breeding was today and will be hatching in December.

She was tested out for Lava with a breeding to an Ice het Striped for a first clutch. One good thing about Tessera, if you switch males to a Tessera for a second clutch, you know any Tesseras hatched are from the second breeding and not sperm retention.

Over the years everybody tries to get a head start on everybody by breeding earlier and earlier. My schedule this year was more in line with breeding in the wild, in many places.

 

[SnakeAround]

Thanks for explaining! So, the snakes in the wild where late this year?
