Tesseras questions

Am I understanding this correctly? Tesseras are dominant. A het tessera is visually the same as a homozygous tessera. Can a het be visually seen as a het or appears the same as the homozygous?
 
Het tesseras appear the same as homozygous tesseras, so you can't tell the difference unless you'll breed. There aren't many homozygous tessera though, if you do have a homozygous tessera I believe you get ALL tessera babies if you breed it. If you have a het tessera it's about 50% normal and 50% tessera.
 
Great, so I did understand what I researched correctly. I've seen some nice combos are there any you really recommend. So far the tessera gene seems to make an awful lot of combos look very interesting to me.
 
There are no "confirmed" markers for homo Tessera's, but a couple of us are working on that. There are some possible markers on homo Tessera's, and I have a clutch that I held back to test all of the babues.
Some people call them "Super" Tessera's, as many people can get confused on the visual Tessera's being "het" Tessera's, since most genes (recessive) the hets don't show the gene.

Here is the thread I started on Super Tessera's
 
Wow that lead to a lot of info. Thanks and very interesting. Makes me want to work with the gene even more.
