None of the other normals that have motley siblings in any of the clutches I've produced have anything but a normally patterned belly. Only the mots have the patternless belly. This snake strikes me as odd because other than the 50/50 belly it is normally patterned. I've never seen this before. With a motley sire, the snake is 100% het for motley but that is a simple recessive trait and none of it should be bleeding through onto the phenotype of this animal, but half of the belly is patternless. What do you guys think?
