Doug, this is one of those unusual situations where we disagree! I think genotype is the animal's genetic makeup independent of whether or not the traits are visible/homozygous. Wild type, or normal, is part of a genotype even if it's dominant--and visible. I think because phenotypical characteristics are so obvious, we tend to think of genotype as "what else" we know about the snake. But the genotype is all the genetic makeup, including things we don't know are there as well as the ones that are visually evident.
IMHO, a striped amel cal king is genotypically a striped and amel animal along with many other characteristics we may not be able to see.
