Coral Ghost Motley/Stripe?

MysticExotics

MysticExotics

(formerly NWHeather)
This baby was produced by Matt Stewart (NW Bloodlines).

Sire to this one is a Salmon Anery het Motley produced by Don S.
Dam was out of a Coral Snow X Champagne Snow pairing, she was also het Motley.

I think she is 3 years old, but she's been a picky eater for him.

She's pink, with brown stripes, and a little yellow on her neck.

For the most part, I understand Stripe, and Motley, but the Motley/Stripe I don't know. I am not sure what other morphs were in the clutch, I forgot to ask when I saw him.

First pic is her as a hatchling, second was taken today. Third pic is the sire, fourth pic I'm pretty sure is the dam.

Thoughts?

She is a stripe, not a motley - stripe which is a snake with one motley gene and one stripe gene.
 
Unless they produced any actual motleys when paired together, both parents are het stripe, not motley. In fact, considering neither is a visual motley-type animal, it should be impossible for them to have produced any actual motley babies when bred together. As she is a true stripe, she can't be a motley-stripe. It's genetically impossible. She is a stripe.
I purchased a sunglow motley from Don that turned out to be a motley-stripe. I thought that my sunglow male was het for motley... but pairing him to Dawn showed that he wasn't actually het motley, but het stripe instead. And his previous 'motley' babies were actually motley-stripe.

I asked him what other morphs were in the clutch that she came from, and he said different combos of anery motley, hypo and strawberry. (He likes to throw several morph combos together)
