As cool as some stripe morphs may be I really don't think there is anything that special about the line itself. I mean, anybody can fluke off and get a half decent striped baby. What is attributable is the work that goes into working out the family tree to "perfect" the eventual offspring.

Here's an example of a stripe from a family bred for salmon colouring, but all snakes were traced back to rescues.
