I dont know squat about genetics but I think the tesseras are beautiful. as are some other hybrids (creamsicle for example). To me, If its a hybrid, so what? if not, so what? I'd love to have one, or a creamsicle hybrid to be honest lol

Well,what if someone told u you looked ignorant and low class because of how u wear your hair or because whatever? Then,what?

I probably wouldn't care and I'd cease talking to that person, because I'm pretty self-confident and other people's opinions of my appearance/monetary status mean very little to me.

 

[Outcast]

WOW! Our government can actually get it's hands on that much in cash to pay our military personal's bonuses? I thought we were trillions in debt and everything was just numbers being moved around in cyberspace. But then again, it really is just paper.

That is petty cash when talking about bonuses, I turned down almost 80k to re-up back in October. I have far better plans for my life than to have to go to Afghanistan another 6 or 7 times and no amount of bonus money would have coaxed me into signing my live over for another 6 years...

It really is amazing how much the government gives to the military for bonuses in order for some of the more dangerous/ specialized jobs to try and keep their guys.

Well thank God some of them take it!

Now that everyone is buddies again I would just like to go on record as saying that I think Whoty is goofy looking. I also would like to see a picture of Lexie for our consideration.

I prefer to be a "fly on the wall" for most forum discussions, but I must make say something here. I do this every time I see a member of our armed services, a fireman, EMT or paramedic, or policeman...Thanks Whoty for your service. I would shake your hand if I could. People who are willing to place themselves at risk for the benefit of others deserve respect for their decisions to do this. And despite the nice stack of C-Notes Whoty is holding these people are not paid what their services warrant. Thanks to all of you who protect us no matter whether or not you think any given morph is a hybrid!

Oh,ok. I was born in Lafayette,lived in Opelousas,moved to Lake Charles,then moved to N.O.,then ended up back in Lafayette. Now,im in Fl.

I wondered why you asked, and figured maybe you had Louisiana roots. Yep, you definitely do, LOL. I knew there was a navy base in Pensacola, historically.
When my father graduated from college, we moved to Panama City, where we lived 1963-1968-ish. My grandfather said we "talked funny" as kids.
I miss it, but having been back several times since, the coast is very different. Full of skycraper condos.

Whoty, I say this to every vet, reservist, Guard member & active duty troop:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!

This is me. Pretty sexy right?

 

[vetusvates]

No it's not.

Gurrl, you so kwrayzee...

 

[abell82]

I don't suppose ... we could get back to beating the dead Tessera, could we?

Haven't we beat that snake enough?

Do you REALLY want to? Or are you just SAYING you want to?

Alright then...


So... ah, have you seen the pics of Rob Stevens Tesseras in the photo gallery?

Ever seen another corn morph with a ring behind it's eye?

Ever seen ... Strange Cargo's...

It's AMAZING how clean Graham's Tesseras are in comparison, isn't it?

Let's look at this one a sunkissed Tessera by Drewby07 (also in the photo gallery)...

Amazing how little the Sunkissed effects the head pattern, but effects everything else so much isn't it?

and what's with the one on the Source? The "non Okeetee outcrossed line-photo from cornsnakesalive, produced by Graham Criglow?

Amazing how different it's pattern is, isn't it?:sidestep:

 

[mike17l]

abell, do you know what a bell curve is?

 

[Nanci]

I have wondered why some Tesseras have a nice clean stripe like the Graham example, and some don't. The way the stripe is broken reminds me a lot of how you can have a pin-striped motley, with a continuous stripe even, with just a few scales offset to one side or the other. I read Don's post about stripe and motley and Tessera, but I didn't really understand it. I am not associating any of these differences with hybridization, though.

So back to the sunkissed Tessera. One of the first things I noticed about that snake, okay, THE first thing, was that it had a typical sunkissed head pattern. Before Drew identified it as such.

Wait- did Don mean that as in non-Tessara snakes, we have saddles, motley and stripe, that there is a Tessera Stripe form and a Tessera Motley form? But the Motley isn't really spots- or joined saddles forming spots- it's simply a more broken, with big gaps, or a not so broken, with just little "bites" out of it, stripe?

Mike, in your bell curve example, would the perfectly striped Tesseras be the top of the bell or the edge? Are more perfectly striped Tesseras hatching, or are they relatively rare compared to the broken-stripe Tesseras?

Someday, will we know what happens if you breed a perfect stripe to perfect stripe, a perfect stripe to broken stripe, and a broken stripe to broken stripe? Or is that already being done and you guys know the answers?

The original Tesseras, how would you classify their stripes? Were they all perfect?

(I'm not asking in order to assign them a "hybrid" status in my mind- I am convinced by Don and KJ and Graham that they are not. I'm just curious about how the gene appears to be working).

 

[abell82]

abell, do you know what a bell curve is?

Sure! I know what a "throwback" is too!:dancer:

(I'm not asking in order to assign them a "hybrid" status in my mind- I am convinced by Don and KJ and Graham that they are not. I'm just curious about how the gene appears to be working).

I am under the impression that they were not stripes at all, but Motleys. Or Motley esq. I'm sure someone will be quick to correct me if I'm wrong.

And,that's not a lot comparing to other bonuses for different MOS'. A guy that I use to work with when I was stationed in Oklahoma got offered 200K for 6yrs to remain in a Ranger unit. But,I can understand that because of what rangers job is.

Yes, I am in the Army.

So,Wade....nevermind.
