Cool Tessera belly. Not a single check.

*edit- since someone asked- the "defect" on the baby's belly between my pinky and ring finger is its belly button!
Actually, where the egg stem was attached. Usually, hopefully, before the baby exits the egg, the egg stem detaches
leaving only a faint trace of the attachment point. This baby is just-hatched, but after the first shed the egg stem scar
will be barely visible, if at all. Sometimes the attachment point is open a little, or even has a little bit of egg stem
still attached. Generally, it dries up and falls off within a day or so, and certainly after the first shed, and heals right up.
With luck and proper treatment, even a baby with a good bit of yolk still attached can finish absorbing and drop the
egg stem. The main thing is to keep the baby quiet so it doesn't drag the yolk around and catch it on something,
and pull it out. I've had good luck with trimming a stem that has dried for a day or so to about a quarter inch, and
then just letting it shed off.

If you look very closely at some adult snakes, you can still see a faint mark.

First 2 are Rolex, a female and the third pic is a male, Radnor. Both het for sunkissed with other phs. These are from Joe Pierce. I actually really like that their stripes are broken up, I think it adds to the overall effect.

This isn't a great photo, because everyone bolted for the hills before I could get the flash turned off- I'll keep trying!

My First Tessera, with My First Home-bred Tessera, his daughter!

So I thought I'd try with a mom I thought was a "sure thing" to cooperate. Chip Bridge's Daisy is the sweetest, most personable, most people-oriented snake you could wish for. And her offspring also seem to have inherited that trait! Of course, with their daddy, Heart Attack, they'd _have to_ be nice, sweet snakes.

Or so I thought! Picture this: I have a mouth full of dirt from holding the camera strap in my mouth, setting it down, then picking it up again. But, I can't position two snakes with one hand, so I have to set down the camera and hold the hatchling between my lips, while I try to get Daisy to STOP MOVING for one minute! (Yes, I know, place something over her till she holds still, but I didn't think I'd need to, and my clear deli was in another area of the yard). Then quickly let go of Mom, set baby down, try to corral them both while picking up the camera, trying to pre-focus, trying to take off the flash...Okay, that didn't work, hold one snake in one hand, one snake in the other hand, camera dangling from my teeth- yeah.

I have one with flash, one without, neither is really in focus, but both snakes are in the frame!

I tried again with Big Moose, Tessera Baby K, who hatched at 10.5 grams. Obviously, he should be a keeper, since he's the only one who understands the concept of modeling as a career!!

I would describe them as very, very, very dark orange,
nearly red, with a background of very, very pale melon,
fading to white. The stripe, proximally, is not pure white.
If you just glance at them, though, and don't analyze the
color, they look quite red and white. I'm sure Petunia's
extremely pale coloration and Miami pedigree cuts down
on the orange/yellow tones, but I don't know what Firefly's
Cayenne lineage will do to the coloration. Hopefully add
a lot of red!
 
WOW Nanci they are beautiful. After some thought on my guys I don't know if candycane tesseras will be as much the goal. My male has such a beautiful bright orange to him that I would hate to work away from that. Now I'll be on the look out for a male candycane for my Rosie.
Here is Arizona

That's the thing with amel- there are so many variations- all beautiful! Take Squirrel for instance. Son of Heart Attack- you'd expect a more candy cane look, but nope. Blazing orange. Still- I love this look!!
