I just got this guy last week. I have never seen a snow stripe with so much color.
Any idea if he is anthing out of the ordinary?

Looks like a snow stripe to me. Not a very attractive one imo but still a striped snow I wish I would have held back the one I produced this year to see how it turned out. There is always next season though

I'm just the opposite of PO on this one..I think it is a cool looking stripe snow.
A lot of snows show a lot of color so that isn't that out of the ordinary.
It could have some caramel in there as well.
it could simply be het caramel
And there are several scenerios in which you could get a snake that is homo amel anery and caramel.

just speculations...either way,to me, a good looking snow stripe.

...it's not a striped corn. If the belly is patternless, it's a striped motley. Some would say this is knit-picking, but it's important to dstinguish between striped corns and striped motley corns. The flesh tones in this one are not uncommon and unlike aneries where males are the ones carrying this coloration, in shows, it's common in both males and females.

Its belly is patternless.
So, a striped motley, then.
I think that is very important since stripe and stripe motley are not compatable. I would hate to breed him to a regular stripe and want to know why I don't get stripes.

I don't really think he is ugly, just odd. Thats why I named him oddball. lol. He has coral pink on the head, has pink and green lower down add the white and yellow. He just seems all mixed up.

My inside problems only effect the outside world....And I am ok with that.

Striped and striped motley are compatible in terms of producing some form of motley (when paired), but to get stripes from striped x motley pairings, each must be either homo or het stripe. Most (not all) striped motlies are het for stripe. This is my personal observation and that of many of my colleagues. In other words, some striping on a motley is not what we'd call a MARKER for stripe, since some striped motlies will not produce striped corns when paired with striped corns.
