Dappled Corn Snakes (Striped Leopard Motley)

Well, the story behind these is that in 2022 I purchased a pair of "Leopard Motleys" from Cleo's Kingdom Colubrids, grew them up and paired them early this year (2024). To my surprise, 6 of the babies were striped. These striped ghost babies were different than any striped ghosts I have produced before or seen, they resemble sunkissed striped more than anything due to the way their stripe is like a single dorsal line of spots. I contacted Laura who I bought them from and she had not gotten any stripes in her pairings, so I believe one of her snakes was het stripe and I got lucky and picked a pair of which both carried the hidden het.
I played with the idea of calling them "Tiger Corn" but it looks like someone is using that name for buf okeetee. I did not want to keep saying striped leopard motley as these are not motley but stripe. I think the name "Dappled Corn" describes them well.
I will be testing them with other stripes, motleys, etc as they get old enough- in the near future I will try pairing their sire with a stripe female see what happens.
The first 6 photos are the original 6 dappled ghosts I got in the clutch, next are progression photos of the 3 I held back :)
