I am just getting into the motley gene i bought my first motley over the weekend at the expo. Does anyone have photos of the difference between the dtriped motley and just motley?

to my knowledge striped is a different pattern to motley but both traits share the same alleles so you can't have a striped motley, its either striped or motley, or normal patterned. Thus you can't get a snake exhibiting both pattern mutations.

But I am no expert on corn snake morphs, so there could be something else that has the name striped motley that isn't your typical motley or stripe.

Here is a picture of a stripe cream and a motley cream.
The motley cream doesn't quite have the length of stripe of some I've gotten but I guess it shows the difference.
The stripe cream was produced by stripe cream to stripe cream
The motley cream was produced by stripe cream to cream het motley so I guess it would fall under the category of striped motley in that it has a stripe going down about half it's length, it is a motley and the father was a stripe.
with an actual stripe specimen you have the basic color with two stripes going down the back.
With a motley cream it really appears more as if there is just one stripe down the middle.
