Hi Scott,
Yes, it would be possible to get a Striped/Splotched Hypo E. It would be a double homozygous morph. Both traits being simple recessive you would have to breed a Stripe/Splotched to a Hypo E & produce normal looking that are double heterozygous. Correct me if I'm wrong on the genetics of the Stiped/Splotched. Then after you've raised those offspring up, breed them back to each other & on paper 1 in 16 would be the double mutation. So this would be a 2 generation project.
There are other variations of breeding that will achieve the Striped/Splotched Hypo E, but in a nut shell both parents will have to carry both genetic traits either as homozygous or heterozygous.
I honestly don't know if the Striped/Splotched Hypo E has been achieved yet or if it will be done this year. If anyone would have an answer to that, it would be Nathan Wells. Maybe we can get him to chime in on this one.
Chris
