Here's my sunkissed tessera het caramel (can we say honey tessies?). I love her sides!

Wow. That's a different looking tessera! I love her dorsal pattern, what I can see of it. Not sure I remember ever seeing those "cheerios" type markings on a corn before.
 
Here is a not great recent picture of Max.

Thanks! I didn't get a good shot of the rest of it when I had her out earlier but I took a snapshot of her when she arrived and you can kind of see that it gets somewhat stripey and then is all over the place after that. But most importantly she is also a total sweetie :)

OK. I'm officially in love.

I wonder what causes her to have a pattern like that? I know sunkissed can influence pattern, but other sunkissed tesseras I've seen haven't looked like that. Any idea if her clutchmates were similar?
 
I don't know about her siblings but I have seen some with a similar effect but not quite as aberrant as hers. I guess I lucked out!
 
This little one just hatched in the last 9 hours.
Daddy was a Charcoal het anery, possible het motley and amel. He was bread to a big Amel girl in hopes of proving out the amel part. So far of 9 babies there are no amels, but 3 anerys or charcoals have hatched including this one.

These are soooo amazing! How much does the tessera pattern in the offspring duplicate the pattern of the tessera parent?
Some are very 'scrambled' ( I would say shattered, but that is already taken ;) ) And some have a more linear(?) pattern. Will that Cheerio pattern will be duplicated in offspring?
 
Even when the pattern is aberrant on an SK tessera, there aren't always cheerios. For example, the ones on Ians vivarium. I hope her honey tessera babies have cheerios, I am mating her with a saffron 66% het stripe :)
 
Here is Bloodred Tessera Baby A- one of five bloodred tesseras I (and Jarret Kime/Troy Crosby) bred this year. They all have solid stripes, unlike most tesseras homo for diffused. These were big fat babies in the 10 gram range at hatching. Their dam is Buzztail, the oldschool bloodred. I'm keeping a female, at least, if there is one!
