Show & Tell
These Scaleless corns must have hatched three DAYs (or so) ago. They were on the rack that included eggs that were scheduled to hatch next week, so they escaped my attention for a few DAYs. These six Scaleless corns and 12 Scaled corns are from parents that are both common corns, het for Scaleless Sunglow Motley. It appears that at least two of them inherited a copy of the Red Factor gene mutation, evidenced by their extra-orange coloration (one has a deeply orange head and neck–center bottom of pic). The Motley on the far right has an extremely elongated neucal (neck) dorsal ground zone between markings, reminiscent of elongated markings common in Scaleless Tesseras, but Tessera haa never been a branch of this family tree.
