The shy one of these two Amel Tesseras (top) is more typical in pattern, but redder than most. He is the product of pairing a Buckskin Okeetee with a Tessera Het Amel; siblings of which included Butter Tesseras. Parents of the smaller of the two (foreground) were both Tesseras Het Amel. The broken pattern of that Amel Tessera is not commonly seen, but welcomed in the otherwise consistently-patterned Tessera morph. Atypicality of the unusual pattern is not necessarily associated with either of its parents, since both of them had classic Tessera pattern, so a gene mutation surely did not cause it? Shrug?
