Was its belly clear (no checkers)? If so, it may very well be a motley. Otherwise, the "side pattern" usually associated with motley/stripe can be seen in normals.. My amel hatchlings have "motley" sides, but none of them are more than het for either trait. Hope this helps.
Do you mind my asking, though, why you want to get a Petco baby instead of looking for a local breeder (who knows what they're doing)? Most Petcos (among other stores) are terrible at taking care of their snakes. Chances are high that the snake will be ill, non-feeding (i.e. freshly hatched), and/or carrying mites. Not trying to pry/scold/judge or anything of the sort, just wondering... =)
