2013 female Extreme Okeetee Tessera corn snake. She is 31″ long, eating frozen/thawed hopper mice. She is not het for Caramel that I’m aware, since her parents are an Extreme Okeetee from pure lines and one of the original female Tesseras (SMR id#1080). Her $335.00 usd price includes
Her price is relatively high for her perceived heritage for the simple reason that Drew Lambeth’s famous Tessera that was not supposed to possess the Sunkissed mutation reproduced many Sunkissed and Sunkissed Tessera mutants. His Tessera, het for Sunkissed was from the same mother as this snake. What’s significant about that is the fact that the original Tessera did NOT possess the Sunkissed mutation, so the F2 from wild stock Okeetee that parented Drew’s Tessera must have gained the Sunkissed mutation from its wild-caught parent. That teases that the Sunkissed mutation in this line may be free of the Star-Gazing mutation. The color of this one is not uncommon among some corns that have only one copy of the Sunkissed gene mutation. Therefore, this one may be het for the same Sunkissed gene family Drew was fortunate enough to acquire.
