The super stripe was created several years ago. It's a combo snake. A super stripe has both one copy of the yellow belly mutation and one copy of another mutation that has been called either specter or whirlwind (possible those are two different mutation or just two names for the same thing). Also, early reports are that super stripe X normal produces only yellow bellies and specter/whirlwinds so it looks like yellow belly and specter/whirlwind are likely alleles - different mutations of the same gene. You should be able to produce 100% super stripe clutches breeding ivory (the homozygous yellow belly) to the homozygous specter/whirlwind which I've not seen reported yet so don’t know what it will look like or what it will be called.
