The Tessera Ghost Motley morph is a striking triple combination of Tessera pattern, Ghost color mutation, and Motley pattern mutation in the Corn Snake (Pantherophis guttatus).
Tessera gene: Produces a clean, unbroken dorsal stripe with reduced side markings.
Ghost morph: Combination of Anerythristic (removes red pigment) + Hypomelanistic (reduces black pigment), resulting in cool silvers, greys, and muted lavender tones.
Motley pattern: Alters the belly checkering and changes dorsal blotches into connected, elongated shapes or removes them entirely.
