Hard to say. The female counterpart to the snake I posted above is probably his sister, but her melanin stripes are not well defined at all. I don't think the heredity of this feature can be described by any simple model.

As it turns out, this snake came originally ina bulk purchase from Rich Zuchowski so she could be het for pretty much anything.
Any ideas as to what the best match would be to try to find out what genes she is hiding?
I have a charcoal het amel male that I may give it a shot with next year, but it would be nice if there were something a bit more exotic, as I already have a blizzard female for him.

Well, as you acknowledged, a Serpenco snake could be het for just about anything. The charcoal het amel is a good choice, but I'd probably choose something that's multi-homozygous for some common AND more exotic traits, with some hets thrown in too. Maybe a hypo-lavender het amel motley, or an amber motley het amel. Something like that...
