This busily marked 2013 female Tessera (two angles of the same snake) is the product of pairing a Tessera (Het Amel) to a Candy Cane.  Aside from her chaotic markings, her head almost seems to glow, apparently from being a lighter shade of red than the rest of her body. BTW, there’s that cute red tail tip like one I showed you on a different Tessera over a week ago.  And “yes” she ate a plump pinky mouse just an hour before posing for pictures.
