Show & Tell
2014 Striped Anery Tessera corn snakes. Note the ground-zone widths between the dorso-lateral stripes on these two? This is a poignant apples-to-apples demonstration of the distinction between narrow and wide dorsal ground fields between dorso-lateral stripes (wider dorso-lateral striping renders narrower dorsal ground zone between). Before the Tessera Mutation was discovered, this pic would demonstrate exaggerated examples of the difference between a Striped Anery Corn and a Striped Anery Motley Corn, but such is not the case when Tessera is added to the genotype. Regarding Tesseras, theories abound, but what causes the striped distinction exhibited in this photograph is still unproven? When someone discovers why (Joe & Mitch? etc.), please, share it with all of us. Bonus Pic . . .
