I have had a wierd series of hatchings and I have questions for everyone out there.

My first pairing was a brother/sister motley het butter. The outcome looks like 2 motley carmels, 1 motley normal, and 1 striped albino. I think it is albino and not butter but how do I get a stripe from motley parents?

My second was a okeetee het albino and motley het butter. Fairly normal, 2 albinos and 8 normals and I think they are okeetee. I am confused on how that gene works. I would appreciate clarification.

My third is the most confusing and they are hatching now. The pairing was a snow female and a "mutt" male. He looks anery but doesn't match any other anery I have seen. Well the babies I have seen are striped snows and regular anery. How did I get stripes? I will post pics later of the dad and see what folks think about him.

"My first pairing was a brother/sister motley het butter. The outcome looks like 2 motley carmels, 1 motley normal, and 1 striped albino. I think it is albino and not butter but how do I get a stripe from motley parents? "

This one happens because motley and stripe exist in the exact same place in the genome. What you have are a pair of genetic motley-stripe animals. They have one motley gene, and one stripe gene at the same time. Stripe is recessive to motley, which is why an animal can be a motley-stripe but show no stripe influence.

"My second was a okeetee het albino and motley het butter. Fairly normal, 2 albinos and 8 normals and I think they are okeetee. I am confused on how that gene works. I would appreciate clarification.

Okeetee is not a gene. It's either a locality (as in "animals from this particular area tend to look like this" or a line-bred (breeding like to like to get even more like the parents, or better than the parents) type of normal.

"My third is the most confusing and they are hatching now. The pairing was a snow female and a "mutt" male. He looks anery but doesn't match any other anery I have seen. Well the babies I have seen are striped snows and regular anery. How did I get stripes?"

Well, this does prove that your male is indeed homozygous anery. And both snakes are apparently heterozygous for stripe.

I was just about to answer when I saw this post. I agree. The striped babies in the clutches are showing up because the parents are obviously het. stripe as well as being motley.

And, as posted, okeetee is NOT a genetic morph. It is a locality/line bred normal. The normals produced from the Okeetee to the other morph should be nicer than regular normals, but not as nice as okeetees.

They might be Stripe-Motleys! Motleys can fool you.
