so many answers, so little time! lol

There are many possiblities..

Very few striped genes are proven, such as the Kahl Stripe line which is recessive.

Some others seem to work in other ways. I don't think anyone has figured out the reverse striped gene really yet.

Where these animals come from, how they became striped, are also some factors.

What if one striping was recessive, the other dominant? both look different.. so first generation you have visible reverse stripes (just speculating here) that are het for regular stripe? then next generation you get combo stripes? no stripes, because they cancel each other out? who knows!

You can have lots of fun trying to find out!

If you do, let me know! lol

Take care, Joe
