I could also have written Fiesta's genetics as:
Aa bb Hh CC DD ms LL KK Qq VV ZZ OO - where aa = amel, bb = anery, hh = hypo, cc = caramel, dd = diffuse, mm = motley, ss = stripe, ll = lavender, kk = Sunkissed, qq = dilute, vv = lava, zz = Z morph (or anery C), oo = charcoal.
But that's alot of non-essential genetic information as it is usually assumed that if no recessive genes are indicated as being homozygous or heterozygous, that the snake carries the normal/wild-type genes.
Note that motley and stripe are combined. Those genes are located at the same locus and when combined (ie - one of each recessive gene is present) the resulting phenotype is motley as the motley gene is basically dominant to the stripe gene. Ultra and amel are also located at the same locus but when one of each gene is present, both genes have an effect on the phenotype resulting in ultramels which look basically half-way between an ultra and an amel.
