corns that are het motley and het stripe are visually motley as motley is dominant over stripe.
These het motley and het stripe are usually refered to as motley het stripe.

Motleys can be highly variable wether or not the striped gene is thrown into the mix,the stripe gene doesnt actually effect the visual look of het motley het stirped corns.

When identifying visual motleys and homo stripe you look at the 3 stripes on the back of the corn.
On a visual striped motleys the lighter stripe in the center of the back is thinner than the 2 darker stripes either side.
on a homo stripe the stripe in the center of the back is thicker than the 2 darker stripes either side.

Motley and stripe work together in the same way ultra and motley do,only difference is ultra and motley are co-dominant where as motley is dominant over stripe.

not sure if that helps or not lol

A perfect explanation mate & yep, the snake paired to the one that came from me must have the stripe gene as mine genetically are Amel Motleys het caramel & stripe........

Congrats Barney, looks like a lovely clutch..............
