Aura is gorgeous, Neil! I can see why she's a favorite.

I don't think of Motley/Stripe as hypo but I do think of them as lighteners and brighteners. I definitely consider that effect in my breeding plans. I do love my Stripes! I had quite a few Motley and Stripe snakes prior to my having to scale down a few years ago. At that point, I didn't think I would be working with both again and chose to keep the just the Stripes. (I've still got one male who's het for Motley OR Stripe. Should find out which this year.) That was partly for the markings since I'd worked on selecting for that. It was partly for that brightening.

So no, not hypo but absolutely a factor to consider for more than markings.
