Interesting how hypo seems attached to motley/stripe.
I wonder how hypo motley phenotype would look.
Beautiful snake.

Kat posted a Hypo Motley on the old forum. You can still go there and see it. I think it is one of the nicest corns I have seen in a while.

Don has a photo gallery on cornsnakes.net, and he has hypo motleys in there. The "hypo" effect of motley is not known to have any relationship to the actual "hypo" gene we are all familiar with.

It seems to me like there's probably about the same amount of melanin, but it gets spread out a lot more so it isn't as noticeable, giving motleys that "hypo-like" appearance.
