>>Notice how the stripe on Sue's snakes cleaves through the middle of the dorsal blotches? Rather than having a dorsal stripe, it is the absence of pattern, leaving a reverse stripe of the snake's ground color. Totally different from striped guttatus, where the entire pattern is just two stripes. To my knowledge there are no "normal striped" emoryi. I suppose these could just be called Striped emoryi, but then that makes me think of corn morphs.
