motley + stripe = ?

if you breed a motley with a het for stripe, does this make stripes? or motleys? or somewhere in between? or neither?
 
Statistically, you should expect:

50% animals that are stripe/motleys (these can look like stripes, motleys or anything in between, but if they are striped in appearance, the top center ground color stripe should be MUCH narrower than a true striped animal)

AND

50% normals (in relation to pattern) that are all 100% het for motley. These cannot be carrying the stripe gene from the het parent, or else they would be like their stripe/motley clutchmates above.

HTH
 
I hope to get some of these myself this year:

My only male cornsnake that is of a size large enough to breed is a normal stripe (unknown if he is het for anything). So 100% of the babies I'm producing will at least be het for stripe.

I bred the striped male to the following:

Anery Stripe: Results will be all striped, and I will learn if he is het for Anery. ... got six eggs, I expect 6 striped normals

Reverse Okeetee: Results should be all normal het striped, should learn if he is het amel ... I got 20 good eggs.

Normal het Motley: Results should be 50% normals het stripe, 50% Motley/Striped normals... she could be hypo, so I might learn if they both have a hypo gene by the appearance of the babies: 10 good eggs.

Next year I'll add 3 to 5 more snakes to my group of breeders. 2 are complete unknowns that someone is going to give to me, I don't even know their genders. The other three come from a clutch that hatched out ghosts, hypos, anery, blizzards, snows, and amels. (lots of potential hets).... their phenotypes are Snow Motley (Male), Ghost (female) and Anery (female), with a lot of potential hets involved. Then of course the two newbies... I believe, from the general description, they are Anery and Amel. Genders unknown.
