I like this one. Especially if taken in the context Motley/het stripe.
Since motley & stripe share the the same allele with motley being dominant to stripe.

Tom did I stir the pot, with my comment on your striped snake? I like using TF when I am joking around but in all "professional" terms to me its either Motley, or Stripe. Since Tom pointed out that Motley is dominant over stripe might as well just say Motley with a Stripe parent somewhere down the line...

Well, the problem with that is that just sometimes the animals does show influence from both of the genes.
I sympathize with wanting to use the two gene names. I like motley/stripe but it can be confusing. Many people have trouble with the even more descriptive het motley/ het stripe. I think that is why TF was sticking around, one special name that means het motley/ het stripe without the confusion factor.
Puzzle is my favorite so far but once I check out how to pronounce pastiche it has a nice sound to it.

Okay, well no offense but it was being used in jest in that thread. Next time I will put quotes around my LOL. Or use a laughing smile. :laugh:
I was simple using the term that the OP of the thread uses all the time. I don't think the "professional" comment in that thread was called for. We have never used that term in an ad or to describe any of our snakes. I did take offense to the comment.

Puzzle sounds like you have no clue what is in the snakes genetics and thats the issue with a lot of the names out there.

People ARE using the term in for sale ads. I'm sorry, but to me, it sounds stupid.

Did I personally use the term in a sale ad? I have never and will never use that term in one of our ads, but to say it in a photo gallery pic and in jest is just fine in my professional opinion.
We may come up with a cool name, but how many breeders are actually going to use it. This forum only scratches the surface of all the corn snake breeders in the US and our fellow cohorts over seas. If you really want to know what is in your snake ask the breeder, and buy from experienced breeders that have done the homework and know the genes that they are using. Ask ask ask....

No offence Nanci.
BUT with all due respect, I think just sometimes the stripe gene shows in a genetically het motley het stripe animal.
There are beautiful animals that have a stripe look, (phenotype), and are genetically homo motley. One way these have been labeled is pinstripe motley.
Zen, I feel is a pretty good example of a pinstripe motley. If I had to guess, I would say "he" is homo motley, but since this is one of my few Petco snakes I don't have anyone to ask about the genetics.
Marmalade is het motley het stripe.
The central most part of the dorsal pattern on Marmalade is part dot/ circle markings and part stripe markings. That part of his pattern is standard motley variability. The sort of marks that many homo motley snakes have.
Just towards the lateral of the pattern from those blatant makings there is a tiny thin white stripe on each side that is fairly consistent down the whole snake. I have never seen a picture of a snake that was labeled as known to be homo motley that has the extra tiny thin stripes in the pattern. Only rarely do these stripes show up in pictures of snakes known to be het motley /het stripe. A fair number of homo stripe snakes have thin little stripes in this position in their pattern.

You have to admit that the lower dorsal striping is terribly wide for an animal without a stripe gene. Still, we know pinstriping is possible without the stripe gene at all, so it's anyone's guess until breeding proves out.
