Striped or normal?

I recently got a BP and it has a long stripe along its back, my question is, is this a resistive gene or
Something else?

A 'striped' ball python is usually just a normal that who's egg was kept to hot - this produces the striping effect - there'a 'genetic stripe' but this pattern is very severe, and it has a lot more to it than just a stripe. Post a pic of your snake, let us all see it

I remember someone asking this question a few times before and not seeming to get the picture - if not then no hard feelings
