Just the other day I picked up a hatching male stripe het amel, butter, motley as a rescue off CL. Today I see another CL add for a hatching "normal motley het amel, stripe. Also, would it be worth looking into incorporate my male caramel unknown hets and my female snow w/ unknown hets. Both of those snakes are yearlings.
 
First, you can't have a stripe het motley. Motley and stripe are alleles, located at the same gene locus. Motley is dominant to stripe to the snake for a corn to be a phenotypic stripe, it must be homo stripe. You can have a phenotypic pin-striped motley that has one motley and one stripe gene, but it isn't a "true" stripe. Confusing, I know, but that's just the way it is. Post a photo of the one you just picked up and we will tell you which it is. Both CL finds would be nice additions, especially if the second one is a female. If it's a male, you don't really need it as the first one would be enough, IMO. You won't be gaining anything, gene wise, getting the second one.
 
Yea, the whole motley stripe thing has me confused, that's just how they were listed though. Here's a thread where i already put a few pics up of them. "pics thread" and the second one on CL is a
 
The snake sure looks to be homozygous stripe, so it has no motley gene at all. Whoever labeled it didn't fully grasp the motley/stripe thing.
