Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

Re: Identification
Complete novice at morph guessing on corns, but a Google image search pulled back one of a candy cane tessera that looks really close to me.

At the bottom is a pair of pictures in the gallery and a hatchling picture that look a lot like the pictures you posted.
Any experts want to weigh in?

Re: Identification
Well it's definitely a Tessera. What was it sold to you as? Do you have a picture of it's head?
I would say it's an amel tessera. The background shows a little to much pink/yellow to really be a candy cane though it could just be the lighting. A true candycane should be a line bred amelanistic derived from Miami lineage to have a high white background.

Re: Identification
Wasn't sold to me. A friend of mine traded a blue and black dart frog for him. The guy didn't know what it was. And my friend has limited experience in snakes. I'm decently experienced in balls but not corns.

Definitely an Amel Tessera. Like was said, a Candycane is line bred to have no yellow in the background. They should be white with red or orange saddles. You can't for sure call an individual animal a Candycane until it's 2 or 3, though if a baby is from a good Candycane linage, it's a good bet it will be. Corns get their yellows over the first 3 years, most of it between 1-2.
Tessera is one of the few dominant corn genes. It's a pattern modifier. Most of the ones out there, though that's starting to change, are het Tessera and if paired to a non Tessera, each baby produced has a 50/50 chance of being a Tessera. A homo Tessera will produce 100% Tessera offspring paired to any other corn but there is not currently any known way to tell a het or homo Tessera apart, aside from breeding it or knowing from what the pairing was. Amel is a recessive like most corn genes.
Here is a baby pic of mine. He actually is partly from a Candycane line.
He's three now and while he's got a little bit of yellow overwash on his background on the first third of his body, I think he could be called a Candycane, though not the very best example of one.
