Wait, is tessera a visible morph? Because if it's an amel het tessera, then it looks like an amel, but carries the tessera gene. An amel tessera is different.

It always makes me laugh when people have kittens for sale at like $20 each, and say "NO SNAKE FOOD!". Yeah, like anyone would pay 20 for a kitten to feed a snake. I currently have a sand boa for sale, a "bald phython" (it bothers me when people can't even spell the species of their animal right), an amel in a 20 gal with only aspen bedding (http://columbus.craigslist.org/pet/3509417753.html).

I've never bought a snake off of Craigslist, but my first 2 pet rats were from craigslist, and we've bought a lot of cages there!

This one is frustrating

Has five corns in a 55 gallon, all different sizes and everything.

But you see, the Tessera gene is Dominant, therefore it's impossible to be "Het" for it. You see it or you don't.

C'mon Bob, he's priced it right

Caveat Emptor. I think CL looks to be a good place to buy a "pet" snake, but I'd be leery of using ANY (wellll maybe not ALL of them, I've seen neat stuff perusing the ol' list o' Craig too) as breeding projects. You just don't know

Oh man, this one is a good deal. Very tempting!

Carpe Serpentis
The tessera gene is heterozygous dominant. Only one gene needs to be present in a heterozygous state for a phenotype of tessera to be expressed. A homozygous tessera would need to be proven by test breeding.

I saw those ads and I sent the snow's owner a message just letting them know that I noticed that the snake was in the need for real care and that I wasn't going to judge but if they were willing to surrender the snake to me I would be happy to take it in and get the food and care he needs. I told them that they could keep everything else and sell that for money. There is no way I would keep an adult corn in a 10 gal anyway. I haven't heard back from them so we will see.
